Congrats to all the winners especially those who are owned by ITS members !

[Elgin]

The 3-year-old colt trotting division was a flawed one with no clear cut choice, still it

[LVGaryD]

I have to agree there Elgin. I saw Man Of Many Missions at Lexington and he is one tough, tough s.o.b.

That was the closest vote of all the categories. Broad Bahn won  45-41 over MOMM

Bad call IMO.

[Elgin]

I chose Foiled based on those extra starts, but if you look at performance against the best in high-end stakes, it was WWS.

In an era where half-mile track racing is discounted, Foiled has made a ton of dough at Yonkers, Northfield, Harrington, London, Freehold, Batavia....Where others fear to tread....

[pezz97]

Foiled Again won 2 big races. Both on half-mile tracks out of 1 hole. We Will See. Much better against tougher competition. Case closed.

Don't let facts get in the way of your argument, FA won the Graduate First over, At the meadowlands Is that a 1/2 mile track? The Indiana Pacing derby is that a half mile track? And the American national, is that a half mile track?

He beat We Will See in the Graduate, Not a half mile track, he beat We will see in the Breeders Crown not a half mile track

So your argument sucks.............

Boy... you and dem pesky facts. Doesn't take long for the BS meter to go off on posters, huh Pezzy?
 

[Elgin]

A vote for WWS is perfectly legitimate. He won the Franklin, Canadian Pacing Derby, Allerage and US Pacing Championship, all against legitimate fields. Foiled, on the other hand, only has one win like that

[Hugh Jass]

Don't have a problem with that at all. I had a problem with it saying that he only won on a half from the 1 hole. Totally false.

If only you had applied yourself to your school work like you do these damn horses

   So Very True

He's like Monk... pretty weird, but an exceptional detective.
