Its time to take the voting out of the process. (With all due respect to Steve and his vote)

We should have a graded stakes point system in place which will not only REWARD horses and their owners for their achievements BUT also encourage them to race more.

Triple Crown and Breeders Cup races are worth 15-10-5 pts on WPS. All other GR 1 race pts are worth 10-7-4. Grade 2 races are worth 8-5-3 and Grade 3s are worth 5-3-1. At the end of the season add the points and we have our champions. Fan interest goes all year as DRF keeps the point leaders like standings in all other sports newspapers.

This concept is similar to what NASCAR does for their drivers and owner points standings and their post season awards. Do the math that way and we will see who the most deserving horses were this year! Animal Kingdom would not even be in the top 3!
