Bill Finley had this thing on deserving Eclipse hopefuls and some he didn't think did deserve it. I think he's being a horse's butt. He goes on this big whine about not voting for OB cuz she's only had one race here and what happened in England doesn't count--sometimes I subscribe to that but here? You've got to be kidding me. 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.
