2 things that I'm guessing a bunch of voters could not forget:

1. CC's TC races.
2. Bayern getting depantsed in the Travers.

I think we're giving some voters too much credit in thinking that they might have taken things like travel into account. They are the same people that voted Zenyatta over Blame. And while CC's G1 turf win wasn't impressive whatsoever and he beat nothing, I think it also gave some voters the excuse they were looking for to vote CC #1.

Yeah, I did forget those.
