But with the them always having awarded horses in the past off of only a single start and with that still being the only listed requirement, it doesn't make much sense to penalize Goldikova when she did the same thing as Pebbles, Miesque (2x), Banks Hill, Islington, and Ouija Board (2x).
but i think those that won off one start were in a division with no other clear standouts. it's why i can see the turf male award possibly going to conduit, but can't really see goldikova getting it.
