Default Who should be 2010 Owner of the year?

In my opinion it's the Mosses! I hope they are awarded 2010 owner of the year at the eclipse awards. They do so much for the industry and this would be the perfect year to award them!

I feel they set such a good example for other owners to follow.

They always have their horses best interest in mind. For example, they did right by Zenyatta by not rushing her to the Races but allowing her to grow into herself. They showed others that you shouldn't retire horses when they still want to run! They could have retired Zenyatta last year but they didn't! And what a difference that extra year made! Her popularity reached new heights and she brought so many new fans to the game!

The Mosses were so wonderful about letting people have access to their superstar mare too! Allowing fans at Hollywood Park to pet her if they came to the backstretch. Having a great horse brings people to racing but I feel that the horses owners were also a big part of Zenyatta's appeal.

When I went to Kentucky I found out that The Mosses donate constantly to Old Friends, which most people don't know! They spare no cost in rescuing one of their horses if it breaks down. And they take care of all of their horses making sure they all find a place to live out their days.

They were at the center of the game this year and they were such great spokesman for horse racing. They deserve to be honored.

DrugS fed hobos at a casino buffet (or at least he considered it). He also befriended RHT. Not to be overlooked are his trivia questions and rankings compiled after considerable research. I think he merits serious consideration for 2010 Owner of the Year.

Obviously you are joking right? Team Moss didn't ship her as promised and the east coast got one look at what could have been a special horse.

BTW tons of people spare no expense to care for there stock and most dont have 800 mil.

The owner of the year has to be Midwest TB's..CLEARLY

Excellent choice freddy...how can anyone argue with that. To have over 1000 starters and win at over 28% with over 61% finishing in the money is just incredible.

Winstar's prominence in the Triple Crown is worth a long look.

This is a joke, right? All the exclamation points in the world wouldn't make me root for those chickens.
