Last chance - get your predictions in. No redboarding allowed.:)

I don't really know how to say this but I'll try.

This is my dilemma... I'm trying to figure out if I'm a hyprcrite on one level and just a horrible person on another (and for God sake that is no ones hint to say oh no you're not).

Am I a hyprcrite for agreeing that the award if for the year and not the career?

That sounds like I'm rooting for Blame, who I think will win.

I love Zenyatta for the record.

And Goldikova.

All three.

They are the three horses of the year as far as I'm concerned and award or no award it's my truth, just like last year with Rachel AND Zenyatta.

So that said, understanding what the award is, am i hyprocritical for hoping that Tuscan Evening wins... that's what I wonder.

How can sentiment dictate what one hopes for one but not another?

Issue number 2...

This.

This makes me sick.

It's not the horses fault and I know Percussionist is really good BUT I don't want those owners rewarded and that's becaue of their connection to the trainer.

I KNOW this is unfair and I mean I'm not rooting against this horse but it just bothers me so much that they might have known / been in on it and besides Slip Away was much much much the best this year.

All of that said, it really doesn't matter.

I guess my pennance for always going against Gio might be to root for him but I do like Winchester a lot...

No predictions except that the fashion police will be out in force as usual (as well they should!). :eek: :D

I think who is going to win is different than who should win. If I had a vote, I would have voted for Blame.

Blame should win, but I'll be shocked if Zenyatta doesn't win HOY.

Blame should win and I have a really strong feeling that he will win HOY.

The ONLY one of my predictions that is wishful thinking is Champagne D'Oro as female sprinter. I'm pretty sure she won't win - it will most likely go to Dubai Majesty. I'm just wishin' for CD'O. I'm a sucker for any MD'O kid.

I think the margin of votes in Blame's favor will be much more than expected.

If Champagne wins, I'll riot.

I think there are too many who are afraid to vote against Zenyatta. The Zenyatta PR machine has been in full force all year, and they take no prisoners.

is Christina Olivares up for any awards?

so many times the horse of the connections she interviews, wins.

and besides that she is a 10 on the babe meter

The award for loving the most horses was won by MMSC. she loves anything with 4 legs

I love you, Freddy. :{>: :D

How many legs you got again? :p

i thought it was 3

:D :p

sorry :wf

Don't be sorry!

I'm glad you have a sense of humor .

Of course I do and anyway I don't think you could be offensive if you tried. :)

I'd like to thank all the little people . . .
