BrianZipse · Great info on the past votes, Matt ... it's funny that Zenyatta never received 100% of the Older Female votes. · 178 days ago ·

annmatt · I would say that 99.6%, 99.6% and 99.2% for Zenyatta rounds up to an average of 100%. Estimating 235 total votes, that means virtually only 1 of the votes was not for her for Older Female. · 178 days ago ·

travel_vic · When the BloodHorse had a vote on the best of the twentieth century, Willima Nack tells the story of one voter who ranked Secretariat 10th in order to assure man O'War's beign top ranked. He suggested bias...No kidding!! · 178 days ago ·

BrianZipse · Yes, that's why it is so curious ... So close to unanimous, but did not receive 2 votes in 2008, and 1 vote in 2009 and 2010. · 177 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · I believe this is part of what makes this sport great. There is no mathematical formula that can be used to decide who is better than who (just look at college football). But, as long as it is flesh and blood making these decisions, unanimity will be as rare as a triple crown winner. · 177 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · I think Turf Male will once again be a really close vote between Cape Blanco and Acclamation and that My Miss Aurelia will be unanimous. · 177 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · Here are my Eclipse predictions, not necessarily my choices, but who I think will win the awards: HOTY-Havre de Grace, 2YO-Hansen, 2YOF-My Miss Aurelia, 3YO-Animal Kingdom, 3YOF-Royal Delta, Older Male-Acclamation, Older Female-Havre de Grace, Male Sprinter-Amazombie, Female Sprinter-Turbulent Descent, Male Turf-Cape Blanco, Female Turf-Never Retreat · 177 days ago ·

12 Clip · I'll make a bold prediction and say that Royal Delta or Drosselmeyer win HOTY!!! And my other shocker for 3YO honors, and deservedly so, is Caleb's Posse. Looking at his pedigree and race record he has the look of a promising stallion in the near future. · 152 days ago ·

DeadHeat · I would say Grace gets it again for horse of the year. However, I do think 2012 will end the female streak. The male division looks loaded with some nice horses coming back in PrePeg, MMM, Nehro, AK, Trickmiester, etc. You also have many nice three year olds looking to step up. · 151 days ago ·
