That accolade should go to the horse who does the most on the track ... not the one who gets the most "Get Well" cards.

Barbaro had two G1 wins through early May ... that's not enough for a championship. If no other 3YO does any better ... then ... like last year's Sprinter championship ... the award should be vacated.

Better no champion ... than another fiasco like Lost In The Fog.
