O'Brien Award Finalists

2012 O

[LVGaryD]

I'd be taking two guys that have been about as hot all year as anyone-Sylvain Filion and Richard Moreau.

The horses I would have to check out the Canadian stats on, but I know I'd take those two.

[Just Saying]

Some of the choices are really close, but I think Captaintreacherous is a standout in his class. Adrovette, Market Share, and Foiled again would probably get my vote if I had one. All listed are fine horses.

Gary, I agree I think SF and Moreau should win, How is Cassie even Nominated is funny. Most of her top stock is all in the state's now

Here are my picks as I think they will go since this is the Canadian awards


2 yr filly- Somewhereovertherainbow

2 yr colt- Captaintreacherous

3 yr filly- American Jewel

3 yr colt- Michaels Power

Older Pacing mare- Rebeka bayama

Older Pacing horse- Betterthancheddar

2 yr Trotting filly- To Dream on

2 yr Trotting Colt- Slam Dunk, it's Wheeling N Dealin

3 yr trotting filly- Check me Out

3 yr trotting colt- Intimidate

older Trotting mare- Frenchsfrysnvinegar

agree with most but how would rebeka bayama beat anndrovette?


and how is chapter seven not even nominated?

[The Giss]

Guessing only that Toscano's positive DQs him. O'Briens have always been much stricter on that kind of stuff than Dan Patch awards.
2 Canadian starts, a BC win and a 2nd in the MapleLeaf.

Market share was still nominated.

[Elgin]

These are oddball awards: throw logic out the window. A couple of years ago Sportwriter garnered 37% of the vote against Heaven, even though Sportswriter only won one race. Granted it was the NA Cup, but still. Last year Monkey crushed Peelers, taking 80% of the vote off of her BC win and some success in the SS program.

To Dream On won the Dan Patch but I think Bee A Magician wins the O

[The Giss]

Market share was still nominated.

Good point. I am wrong once again.

dnnj1- Anndrovette over Rebeka Bayama, imo.

Chapter Seven only raced twice in Canada. You need to race three times to be nominated. Market Share made six 2012 starts in Canada.

Good call, I thought it was 2 starts
