Regardless of who she faced this year, she was coming off a Breeders Cup win. Whether you like her or not, it was nice for racing, and nice to see her get to this point undefeated. I think they managed her career flawlessly. It all added to the drama, and pagentry of this glorious game.

I would say that 2 campaigns where she only loses a single 5 million dollar race by a nose and yet she gets no horse of the year awards would be flawed. Had they run/won in the Hollywood Gold Cup or Pacific Classic (either year) they probably would have won the award. They chose the path of least resistance and blew it.
