Eclipse stragglers

[brianwspencer]

I was just looking at the Eclipse award final balloting numbers...and I'm just shocked at how some of these horses get votes. Does anyone know how some horses get first place votes?

Ie, in the 2yo filly category, Octave, Point Ashley and Boca Grande all got votes. Granted, they got a total of 5 votes combined, but still -- who are those five people?

Ermine for 3 votes for champion 3yo filly. What?!

Pool Land snuck a vote for older female.

Bishop Court Hill got a vote for Sprinter of the year.


I guess I just don't get it.
