Two-Year-Old Male: Midshipman, Old Fashioned, Vineyard Haven Two-Year-Old Filly: Dream Empress, Maram, Stardom Bound Three-Year-Old Male: Big Brown, Colonel John, Raven’s Pass Three-Year-Old Filly: Eight Belles, Music Note, Proud Spell Older Male: Commentator, Curlin, Einstein (BRZ) Older Female: Cocoa Beach (CHI), Ginger Punch, Zenyatta Male Sprinter: Benny the Bull, Midnight Lute, Street Boss Female Sprinter: Indian Blessing, Intangaroo, Ventura Male Turf Horse: Conduit (IRE), Einstein (BRZ), Grand Couturier (GB) Female Turf Horse: Cocoa Beach (CHI), Forever Together, Goldikova (IRE) Steeplechase Horse: Be Certain, Good Night Shirt, Sovereign Duty Owner: Godolphin Racing, IEAH Stables, Stronach Stable Breeder: Adena Springs, Stonerside Stable, WinStar Farm Trainer: Steve Asmussen, Richard Dutrow, Jr., Bobby Frankel Jockey: Robby Albarado, Rafael Bejarano, Garrett Gomez Apprentice: Inez Karlsson, Pascacio Lopez, Abel Mariano ** The two categories that are most interesting are Female Sprinter and Male Turf horse. Do you take body of work in older filly/mare races (Intangaroo)? Do you take body of work/brilliance in 3yo races (Indian Blessing)? Or do you take an overall great year plus the big one (Ventura)? Turf horse more so because the choices are so weak. I think Einstein deserves the look but he did just as much on dirt this year. Also, Goldikova should NOT get Turf Female over Forever Together with only 1 race in this country, end of story.

If that rule were in play and it eliminated Asmussen, Dutrow, Pletcher, et al., who should win the award? I'm surprised that Baffert - who may train three champions - has not had his name bandied about more in this category. |
