Horse of the Year

[Josephus]

Jimbo,

Smile when you say that first paragraph.

It is unfortunate that some people cannot state an opinion or respond to an opinion on this board without making a personal comment.

Josephus,

Sorry, no insult intended.

Anybody would have made out well booking my bets on FRiday and Saturday in the Breeders Cup.  The Midnight Lute - Fatal Bullet exacta was my only cash and it wasn\'t big.......

No s--t.

Curlin? Zenyatta? Commentator?

Who is the most accomplished thoroughbred who ran in the US in 2008?

Good Night Shirt won the Colonial Cup Steeplechase in Camden, South Carolina on
Sunday, closing out a season in which he was undefeated in five starts... all
Grade 1 events.

Nice try...Ain\'t happening..

Curlin\'s connections might be looking at one more race before the end of the year (when he is scheduled to be retired) to try and erase the bad Breeders cup memory.
Is there a cutoff date for races that are used to determine Horse of the year ?  Is it the Calendar year or is it any performance up to the Eclipse awards?
