As always, a reminder that 1st place determine winners with 2nd/3rd just window dressing. A couple of quibbles after voting..

Klaravich/Juddmonte impossible to separate behind Godolphin in Ownership, but Juddmonte will have 2 Champions;

Pletcher/Cox interchangeable at 3rd/4th in Trainer and I probably should have sided with Todd who'll have 2 Champions (plus Locked & Forte) to Brad's 1;

I often give a tip of the hat to the 3rd slot and a case can be made that Larry Rivelli deserved one for landing Two Phil's & Nobals on the ballot and his career year overall..
