Summer Bird has had an amazing year and most years would be a serious serious candidate for horse of the year. He just happened to run in the same year as a 3 year old filly who is 8 for 8 and beat boys 3 times in grade 1's.
He is probably the favorite for the place spot in the horse of the year balloting though, with Zenyatta in the show spot if she wins out.
