Wait a While Champion 3yo filly?
The Phippes' and Shug think so. Neither are going to the awards . Heard Shug is in the Bahamas..It's a tough call between Wait a While and Pine Island. When was the last time a turf horse won an eclipse in an open category?

Kotashan? Shug deserves a vacation and I bet one of the younger Phipps will be representing them.

Very sorry to see it, but it looks like Wait a While will be the champ...
BOCA GRANDE will get McGaughey back the awards next year... Last edited by KirisClown : 01-22-2007 at 12:43 PM.

I liked Pine Island a lot but I think Wait a While is as deserving. Seems fair.

Looking at the PPs, id agree.. and Wait a While did beat older...
I just don't care for her connections...

Speed numbers wise the dirt fillies were pretty slow this year. Wait a While had some huge grass numbers, and beat older in the Yellow Ribbon if that means anything.
Hey the filly Boco Grande beat came back and won the stake at the Fairgrounds quite easily. (Get Ready Bertie)

People seem to be forgetting that Wait a While wasn't exclusively a grass runner. She sure was better on turf but she had some nice wins on the dirt, including a 14-length blowout back in Feb. or March.
As much as I liked PI, and lament the tragedy of her life and career being cut short, I'm not sure she did enough to outshine WaW.

Wait a While was a grade one winner on turf and a grade two winner on dirt. She beat older females in a grade one. She beat the same filly that Pine Island was beating in winning her races. To me, this was a no-brainer.
