Default What if there was an award for...

... the hardest trying horse of the year?

Who would get your vote?

I think this is her 15th start of the year. No pp's but if I'm remembering this correctly she had over 20 last year...

7 1/2 Furlongs | Fillies and Mares | 3 Year Olds And Up | CLAIMING ( $8,000 ) | Purse: $16,000

1 Lisa Lulu M. Pedroza 122 Lbs J. Carava $8,000 - L
2 Gallant Victory R. Goodgame 120 Lbs L. Wilson $8,000 - L
3 Moonshine Alice K. Stra 120 Lbs A. Marquez $8,000 - L

5 Saint Cindy R. Bejarano 120 Lbs J. Carava $8,000 - L

She gets my vote.

Who would get yours?

I don't watch much "day-to-day" racing anymore, so I'll have to go with Shackleford.

I don't know about hardest trying, but I got a kick out of watching Unbridled Danger win today making him 7 for 104 in his career.

Honorable mention to the 10 year old Callmetony who has 3 wins, 3 seconds and a third from his 9 starts this year.

This year I would probably vote for Musical Romance, with a 14-5-3-1 record.

But if we're talking old campaigners and, you know, "random horses," I'm including Missile Motor. 15-2-4-3 for 2011, and a career 70-19-18-10.
