He figures Wait a While and Gorella are better candidates with 3 GSWs each (I assume that's right, I didn't check). Point is you think either of those mares, neither of whom threw in a stellar performance Saturday, in any way deserves the Eclipse over the queen? She's clearly a phenomenal mare.

I can see not giving it to Red Rocks or something but for pete's sake...not giving Ouija Board her coronation is like only having one Pringles chip--can't do it.

normally I agree that 1 race is enough.
and this year I think The Board is probably deserving.
but I would not argue with any voter who voted for Wait A While.
she was just off the charts good.
similar campaign to the 3YO campaign Kittens Joy put together when he won the male version of the award.
