![]() Assuming she wins that, which she has a good chance to, and assuming Curlin, SS, and Lawyer Ron all lose, I believe a case can be made for NK being HOY. That would be 3 G1s and 2 G2s.

![]() She's going to run poorly in the F&M Turf....not the Distaff. At least according to the connections. I agree with 10 pt. Move Up....she should run in the Distaff.

Wow.. 11 posts about Nashoba's Key and not one use of the name of the "trainer".. It's Carla Gaines for those that don't know.. Above is link to ATR Archive page for Hour 3 where Gaines joins Ric Hammerle to talk about her undefeated filly and her career. (Comes in after 15 min. with Hammer..)

![]() I think she definitely would deserve to be a Nominee, even moreso than Rags to Riches who has been mentioned as being deservant.
The voting for the 3 year old Eclipse could be very interesting with Curlin having defeated Street Sense and an older horse in Lawyer Ron (who unless the unlikely happens and Brass Hat wins the Classic has Older Male pretty much locked up), Street Sense with a solid season and scintillating Derby victory and Hard Spun who has a good of a chance as any of these in the Classic. Does Rags to Riches loose the 3 Year Old Filly Eclipse? If Lear's Princess or Lady Joanne win the Distaff, my vote if I were given one, would lean to either of them. |

Since the imaginary vote is entirely subjective, my reasoning for voting against Rags would be for the following reasons: 1. While she beat Curlin in the Belmont...really, was it as big of an accomplishment as it would have been had she defeated them in the Derby or Travers? I'm not going to go over the numerous posts of why she isn't even in the same breath as some of the greatest fillies of all time, but I do agree. 2. Probably the biggest reason of all, I'm tired of seeing horses awarded awards for half a season accomplishments. |

![]() Well, Rags to Riches also won the KY Oaks, and was winning Grade 1s during a the first half of the year, while Lear's Princess and Lady Joanne were barely running, so in a sense none of them had more than a half a year. However, I understand what you're saying. But, Rags to Riches did run, and only physical issues prevented her from completing the year.
Tiago got drowned by Curlin and Street Sense in their meetings. He shouldn't even be considered a candidate for any year end honors. |
