My choices in bold.

Two-Year-Old Male: Midshipman, Old Fashioned, Vineyard Haven

Two-Year-Old Filly: Dream Empress, Maram, Stardom Bound

Three-Year-Old Male: Big Brown, Colonel John, Raven’s Pass

Three-Year-Old Filly: Eight Belles, Music Note, Proud Spell

Older Male: Commentator, Curlin, Einstein (BRZ)

Older Female: Cocoa Beach (CHI), Ginger Punch, Zenyatta

Male Sprinter: Benny the Bull, Midnight Lute, Street Boss

Female Sprinter: Indian Blessing, Intangaroo, Ventura

Male Turf Horse: Conduit (IRE), Einstein (BRZ), Grand Couturier (GB)

Female Turf Horse: Cocoa Beach (CHI), Forever Together, Goldikova (IRE)

Steeplechase Horse: Be Certain, Good Night Shirt, Sovereign Duty

Owner: Godolphin Racing, IEAH Stables, Stronach Stable

Breeder: Adena Springs, Stonerside Stable, WinStar Farm

Trainer: Steve Asmussen, Richard Dutrow, Jr., Bobby Frankel

Jockey: Robby Albarado, Rafael Bejarano, Garrett Gomez

Apprentice: Inez Karlsson, Pascacio Lopez, Abel Mariano

** The two categories that are most interesting are Female Sprinter and Male Turf horse. Do you take body of work in older filly/mare races (Intangaroo)? Do you take body of work/brilliance in 3yo races (Indian Blessing)? Or do you take an overall great year plus the big one (Ventura)?
Turf horse more so because the choices are so weak. I think Einstein deserves the look but he did just as much on dirt this year.

Also, Goldikova should NOT get Turf Female over Forever Together with only 1 race in this country, end of story.

Honestly... Steve will win an Eclipse award for broadcasting/media someday. I'm sure of it. As far as I know though they don't do it as part of the "show" but rather the results are announced prior.

Thx Matt-O, but bet-against. The Radio/Internet Media Eclipse went to the Courier-Journal for a 3-part series on injuries.. They announced it the other day.
