Doug..
The way they score the thing, only the first place votes on a ballot really matter in terms of determining the finalists and winners.. the rest is window dressing. I subscribed to the Crist theory that Little Mike deserved Turf and then didn't think Fort Larned deserved to go without recognition, so I exclusively recognized Wise Dan as HOY only. It was a quirky year in that respect and I think all 3 of them should get something as opposed to Wise Dan getting 2 or even all 3 honors. And the way for me to 'voice' that was how I filled out the ballot. Look at it like this with just the first selections on the ballot because that's all that really counts.. Horse of the Year: 1st - Wise Dan Two-Year-Old Male: 1st - Shanghai Bobby Two-Year-Old Filly: 1st - Beholder Three-Year-Old Male: : 1st - I'll Have Another Three-Year-Old Filly: 1st - Questing Older Male: 1st - Fort Larned Older Female: 1st - Royal Delta Male Sprinter: 1st - Trinniberg Female Sprinter: 1st - Groupie Doll Male Turf Horse: 1st - Little Mike Female Turf Horse: 1st - Zagora Steeplechase Horse: 1st - Demonstrative And the order in which the finalists are listed (Turf Male: Little Mike, Point of Entry, Wise Dan) is alphabetical.
