I'm ok with all of it but sad to see Bob LeBeau not get a vote.

Scorpiancer won the G1 Lonesome Glory and enjoyed 3 more G1 placings including the narrow Grand National loss to Rawnaq at Far Hills. Top Striker was the most improved hurdler of the year coming on late to win the G2 Zeke Ferguson and then the prestigious G1 Colonial. Certainly won't forget Bob Le Beau though. A particularly good chaser over racetrack courses.

You are right Steve. Shame what happened to him. Just took a bad step. I thought he was really good.

Must say that I'm surprised to see you guys picking Chrome as HOY and even more surprised by the ones that chose Songbird second.
