I can't say I'm not disappointed that Music Note didn't win, but she deserved to finishe ahead of Eight Belles -no knocks on Eight Belle, of course. I just thought Music Note had a tremendous season.

I want somebody to tell me how Adena won the Champion Owner award.

Say whatever you want about IEAH, complain about Iavarone, the way they buy horse, etc. but they had a huge year and compared to Stronach?

Did I miss some races throughout the year that Stronach won? I was absolutely dumbfounded at the result.

For what it's worth, I also thought Stonerside should have gotten the Champion Breeder award, but I'm horribly biased. I guess breeding Midshipman and Raven's Pass was not a big enough accomplishment.

So who were the two voters who voted for Ginger Punch over Zenyatta, they should have their votes revoked.

Three people also voted for Bustin Stones as the champion older sprinter. Joe Rocco as outstanding jockey is another one of my favorites, as is Chamisa Goodwin as champion apprentice, and both Howard Wolfendale and Mike DeKock as champion trainer.

They are probably the same people that didn't vote for Rickey Henderson.

You're absolutely correct and I agree with you 100% on that!
