I don't really know how to say this but I'll try.

This is my dilemma... I'm trying to figure out if I'm a hyprcrite on one level and just a horrible person on another (and for God sake that is no ones hint to say oh no you're not).

Am I a hyprcrite for agreeing that the award if for the year and not the career?

That sounds like I'm rooting for Blame, who I think will win.

I love Zenyatta for the record.

And Goldikova.

All three.

They are the three horses of the year as far as I'm concerned and award or no award it's my truth, just like last year with Rachel AND Zenyatta.

So that said, understanding what the award is, am i hyprocritical for hoping that Tuscan Evening wins... that's what I wonder.

How can sentiment dictate what one hopes for one but not another?

Issue number 2...

This.

This makes me sick.

It's not the horses fault and I know Percussionist is really good BUT I don't want those owners rewarded and that's becaue of their connection to the trainer.

I KNOW this is unfair and I mean I'm not rooting against this horse but it just bothers me so much that they might have known / been in on it and besides Slip Away was much much much the best this year.

All of that said, it really doesn't matter.

I guess my pennance for always going against Gio might be to root for him but I do like Winchester a lot...

No predictions except that the fashion police will be out in force as usual (as well they should!).
