Game on Dude shouldn't win anything, but he got screwed on the basis of one bad performance.
The fact that Little Mike is actually an older male finalist over him pretty much shows you that the voting biased against the horse tailing off or the horse who bombs on BC day is still there. He is a main track horse, Little Mike is a turf horse.
I would be shocked if Questing wins...even though there is no one else to give it to in that category.
There has always been a strong bias against the horse who tails off late in the season or doesn't fire in the Breeders Cup.
