ok...now you bring that up to prove that voting DOESN'T take the whole year into consideration?? which is it?? you just said they did. neither of those ran past june.

i'll give you examples of voters only looking at end of year racing. street cry who lost out because his good runs were in the spring, left bank won a couple later on, and then sadly passed away. azeri--she only won HOY because volponi won the bcc. high chaparral who ran here once all year, in the bc and won top turfer, over the gelding who ran second that day, but had won here all year.
