I agree with you here. If Pletcher didn't start another horse all year, he would still win the Eclipse. He's at about $26 million. The next closest guy is at around $10 million. I think it's safe to say that Pletcher has the eclispe locked up.

Pletcher has the eclipse award locked up for the next 5 years (unless someone wins the TC).

I am not saying that he shouldn't win the eclipse but the other guy has the horse of the year and won a classic race. Stranger things have happened.

Yes let's backtrack now. How on earth could you think he'd lose the eclipse? He breaks the stakes record in the entire world. Definitely take it away from him for 3 seconds and 3 thirds.

I did not say he should lose but if the Breeders Cup means so much and you get shut out then he goes from 1-9 to 4-5. Remember that many voters wont look too far past todays results.

I really can't see it. If there was a guy within a few million dollars of him, it would be very possible. But with him being at $26 million and the next closest guy at $10 million, it's impossible for him to lose.

Last year you could make a case for Asmussen or Frankel. This year there is nobody to make a case for.
