No matter how many more "exciting spots," she would have trouble getting this award. If people want to ignore the horse that won the most money/biggest race, then they're gunna do it. Look how much trouble Gomez had before he finally got his Eclipse Award.

Well Armed earned more money than her and as far as Zenyatta winning the biggest race and that being the only criteria where do Pleasantly Perfect, Volponi and Raven's Pass' connections file their complaints for being snubbed?

Well Armed won most of his money in one of those Mo-Nut-Liquor Countries. That money isn't supposed to be taken into account for this award. The reasons for Volponi n' RP not getting it are obvious. The reason for PP is because he wasn't active at all for long periods of the year (Mineshaft dominated those periods of the year, and got injured right before the B.C.) It's been 6 years now. Hopefully that's accurate......One of the reasons I don't miss the SOCAL dirt tracks is because they tended to get as biased as that Dubai track was that day. Also, horses didn't come back from races (on our dirt) quickly enough to fill fields well. A problem with the synthetic out here(especially Pro-Ride n' Del Mar Poly) is that trainers often bring young horses back too quickly off a nice debut effort on it (#2 be poo.) The chances of that(#2 be poo) are even more increased with those damn incessant 7f maiden races they seemed to be writing at Anita.
