I do have to say that I'm not surprised Curlin is Horse of the year again. He made history by breaking the earnings to 10 million. He is also a Great to be remembered. I'am disappointed though, that they picked Midshipman, Conduit, and Forever together for their categories. I think that Vineyard Haven or Old fashioned should have won over Midshipman, Einstein over Conduit, and definitely Goldikova over Forever together. I mean for goodness sakes, Goldikova won over the guys in the Turf! Whatever, it's not my choice. I'm also glad Steve Asmussen won over Richard Dutrow. I have a strong dislike of him after the incidents with Big Brown, and other horses under his care. Otherwise everyone else that won I'm happy about. Have a great night everyone!

Great blog, you have a lot of information posted here! Oh, and I agree with you...Goldikova should have won Turf Female.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I know she should have won with that performance.
