You're nuts.

Didn't Kotashan and Azeri win HOY? Didn't Ferdinand somehow beat Theatrical?

I argue that they negativity surrounding from the eastern part of the country, the only major year round ciruit that still has dirt, that synthetics will heighten how and why they vote and you bring up Azeri, I dont see how they are related.

Theatrical is a turf horse, if he wanted to win a award that is supposed to go to a dirt runner (I read that a couple pages back) he should have entered that race....I think I saw that here with Zenyatta running in the classic.

Azeri was a West Coast horse that won HOY ( and a reasonably questionable one at that ). Kotashan was a West Coast horse that won as well ( and a turf horse ). Theatrical was also a turf horse, and one that won six or seven Grade 1s over the course of nine months, and he lost to a West Coast horse with a decent but hardly spectacular resume.

Your perception of East Coast bias has no basis in fact. If you think the voters won't vote for Zenyatta because they see it as some sort of endorsement of polytrack then you are dead wrong, paranoid, and have no understanding of the voters in general.

Let me ask you this, who is going to win the champion sprinter for the year?

I have no idea who would even be qualified. I guess Midnite Lute might simply because he won the theoretical biggest race but you would have to tell me who is even in the hunt. The three NY Grade 1s were won by Bustin Stones, First Defence and Black Seventeen. I find it hard to believe any of them are in the running. Divine park won the Met....and basically nothing else. How could he be involved.

I am annoyed now that I even spent 30 seconds thinking about it.

See, by far the best sprinter on accomplishment has been Street Boss, and he ran solid this past weekend, yet it did not even cross your eastern biased mind.

No, I was pointing out that there was no East Coast horse that could realistically be considered. By inference, it pretty much had to be a West Coast based horse. Though, Indian Blessing will be one of the three finalists I assume.

Which West Coast based horse won the most Grade 1s sprinting. You might want to think about this one.

Intagaroo and you know I pointed it out elsewhere that she won the west, midwest, and east coasts grade 1 sprint events, something to my knowledge never has happened before.
