I'm guessing these are the votes before the re-vote on apprentice jockey...

I have long held that crackpot votes should be examined and such voters should lose their standing. This year several categories were very very close and championship honors do matter. If I'd been an owner who lost a title because some author of children's books that doesn't follow racing voted for the the other guy because "he's got a shiny coppery chestnut coat" I would be livid.

Drosselmeyer was last in his only grass start yet got her vote for turf runner? Of course she voted for Awesome Feather too...
