Ok look, you are talking about something that noone cares about. And i wil tell you why. When tehy announce finalists, they put the top three vote getters in. In some cases (like Mineshaft) the winner is an avalanche winner. And like 10 clueless souls vote other horses. It was like PD and two others who got like 7,6, and 5 votes.
They werent doing tiered voting then(like they do for MVP of AL for example, where you vote for 1st 2nd 3rd etc. YOu only get one vote. And everyone knew who the champ was. Noone cares or keeps track of who was 2nd and 3rd or a finalist. They dont even put it in breeding catalogues.
