Also, I think I might have to give the Eclipse for male turf horse to Conduit simply on the basis that there is no way on earth I could justify giving it to Kip Deville (who I like) based on his one win in a graded stakes at Belmont, a bad race at Woodbine and a good 2nd in the BC. That is a weak, weak resume for a champion.
or they could give it to ravens pass.

Maybe they need a new division for "European horses too good for American horses, but with not enough starts in the US to qualify".

You could've made a case for Grand Couturier, I suppose, but he finished nowhere. Maybe no one should get the award.
