ummmmmmmmkay.

I think that EC is a better horse than Miesque's Approval, I think it just came down to a bit of EC's inability to win the "big ones." I think either a win in the Turf or in the Million gives him the Eclipse without a doubt, and probably by a landslide.

This was one of the categories I didn't really worry about, because any of the three winning would have been fine with me.

Though I wish Cacique could have just won the Turf and emphatically ended the conversation right there

Well, everyone always worried about his sisters' distance limitations tii, until it turned out that they actually had none after all.

I like MA, don't get me wrong. He ran well in the BC Mile, but other than that?? Come on....nipping a gone very bad Artie Schiller and then blowing by Free Thinking to win a couple of Grade 2's??? Come on...I need more than that to get my blood going.

She was my girl! Too bad we had to wait until her last race to see a jockey just let her run.

It really is too bad turf takes a back seat to dirt as Megahertz, Intercontinental & Gorella are far more exciting in my opinion than any of the dirt fillies & mares.

Honestly I really wish Gorella won the Turf F/M she threw together some amazing races this year. OB is something special because of all of the countries she shipped to, but these are the North American awards...

yet another reason I wish they would leave Anna on the grass...she moves so beautifully over that surface and that division needs a superstar.
