Bloodhorse: The decision to possibly race Drosselmeyer again is presumably to give him a chance at a year-end Eclipse Award. If he were to win another grade I race, he would throw himself into the mix for champion older male, or perhaps even Horse of the Year. The Clark Handicap (gr. I) at Churchill Downs on Nov. 25 would be a likely possibility for Drosselmeyer since he just won the Classic over the Churchill Downs main track.

I would think he would have to win the Clark in dominant fashion to even register as a Horse of the Year finalist.
Even though she failed twice at 10fs this year -- Havre De Grace would be my choice for HoY. She won her division nicely, she defeated males in the Woodward -- beating a next out easy Jockey Club Gold Cup winner over Drosselmeyer, and she crushed the soon to be champion 3yo filly Royal Delta a few weeks ago. At less than 10fs -- Havre De Grace was 5-for-5, four Beyers of 105 or higher, and 3 Grade 1 wins in an absolutely awful year for males.

 Either way the rest of the year goes for Drosselmeyer, give him kisses and peppermints just for that.
