You talk about the 2002 crop being bad, how about the 2006 group? Lemons Forever, Bushfire, Pine Island? Personally either of the last two would have been acceptable since they won multiple Grade 1s (Smuggler won the award for Christ's sake)...
I don't think either Proud Spell, Music Note, or Eight Belles are mere ham sandwiches in this instance. The voters don't really have to look beyond the obvious races to find a suitable champion.
Since they've set up a female sprint division, Indian Blessing has become a specialist the way Xtra Heat was. She'll probably get her championship so long as she doesn't get tagged late by Intangaroo in the BC.
