Tiz was the better horse.

It was the year 2000. LDK was a four yr old and Tiznow was a three yr old.
LDK won :
The Whitney
Woodward
Suburban
Brooklyn

Tiznow won :
The Breeders Cup
Super Derby
Goodwood.

though not highway robber LDK did get Champion Older Horse, I still would have voted LDK for HOY.

speaking of eclipse voting...

how does bernardini get more top 3 yo votes than barbaro, but barbaro gets more for HOY? that doesn't make sense!!

and how does cacique not get even ONE vote for top turf?!

Cause the Bernardini voters voted with their brain while the Barbaro voters voted with their heart. So everyone stubborn enough to vote Barbaro 3yo of the year was stubborn enough to vote him HOY too. The ones that voted Bernardini were smart enough to recognize Invasor as HOY.
