And please don't avoid answering this question for me but how do you think Singspiel won his award? I'd love to hear the answer to this. Singspiel's two grade one wins on the year were the Canadian International and the Japan Cup. He never won a race here in the U.S. He lost the BC Turf to Pilsudski but he still won the Eclipse. How do you think he won it if foreign results don't count towards the awards?

Yes, Arazi won because of the dominating performance over a good Bertrando, not because he won some turf event in Europe.

I dont think Singspeil should have won it with that record, it must have been a very very weak year. Who was the runner up?

If Foreign results counted then Sahkee should have been horse of the year over Tiznow at Belmont, Tiznow was very ordinary that year.

If Foreign results counted Ridgewood Pearl should have been champion turf horse instead of Northern Spur. I could go on an on.
