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
Me too.
I loved him and Intercontinental.

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.

Obviously, she's going to be darn tough to beat if they run her on the turf...but until someone else steps up and shows she's not the best dirt filly too, there doesn't seem to be much need to run her on the grass.

If her perch atop the dirt division were to fall, then grass would be awesome because she's incredible on the turf.
