The two brilliant individuals that voted Awesome Feather as top 3 year old filly seem to stand out most..
One of them went with Drosselmeyer as top turfer, the other voted Awesome Maria top older female and Ruler on Ice as the best 3yr old male..

Amazing that we have so many turf writers voting and yet so few stories written about racing...

I'm sure Lenny and Haskin have explained their reasons for not paying dues at some point (I just know they've mentioned it on And They're Off), but they don't get ballots anymore for that reason. Shame that they don't get to weigh in, but others get to make such baffling decisions.

I'm guessing these are the votes before the re-vote on apprentice jockey...

I have long held that crackpot votes should be examined and such voters should lose their standing. This year several categories were very very close and championship honors do matter. If I'd been an owner who lost a title because some author of children's books that doesn't follow racing voted for the the other guy because "he's got a shiny coppery chestnut coat" I would be livid.
Drosselmeyer was last in his only grass start yet got her vote for turf runner? Of course she voted for Awesome Feather too...
