Team Zenyatta...special award

Is this because 'they' know Zenyatta is not going to be HoY?

http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/nat...pse-award.aspx

Does anyone know if they will televise the Eclispe Awards? If so, what channel will carry it?

An award for "Team Zenyatta," but no mention of the Rocky Mountains?

Three whole seasons, for a female. Wow, that is worthy of an award.

I'm sure TVG will cover the awards, while not showing me my evening racing I'd rather watch...

My God...this is INSANE - and I mean that with not a shred of the usual humor or sarcasm. Disgusting praise of "fightin' hard all the way to the middle."

In all seriousness, were I forcibly handed a "special award," gah...I'd be completely humiliated. How embarrassing...

Could not agree more.......ironic that the people getting the award actually hurt racing in a certain sense with how they campaigned her because they didnt allow us to see her face better competition in better races more often....


The only silver lining for me is that maybe this is an indication, as JoanieD mentioned at the start of the thread, that she isnt going to get HOY.

Why would they give her this award if she still had a chance at HOTY? If she wins HOTY and this "special olympic" award, the whole night would be about her. It would be too much.

To those who wonder if this means anything vis a vis HOY, I would point out that Claiborne is getting one, too.

Isn't that special?

Yes.......it's like the end of year awards in the 5th grade.

An obese kid getting the "Most likely to be a star on The Biggest Loser" award

Not a dry eye in the house.........
