Why Horse Should Win: While this season was a bit on the rough spot for Reflected in Water she has yet proven her title among holding herself strong this year. She had an incredible win in the Belle Victoire Derby as well as the First Lady Cup. The Radiance daughter has even proven herself worthy of a fight remaining at the top of the charts for the dirt track. She only placed out of the money four times this year which in all is quite impressive. This year alone she came to a 74% consistency. She battled alongside rival Battle Wings in many of these races and came in a deadly second in the Dubai Filly Cup. She loves the dirt tracks and has seemed to shine as a dirt mare no matter what is thrown her way Reflected in Water kept up with the challenges thrown at her over the dirt track and will continue to succeed in the efforts of a mare who proudly favors the dirt surface.

Why Horse Should Win: Nightshade is one of those horses that comes along once in a lifetime. She had a stunning juvenile career and then a quiet classic season. She fought for her name as a four year old and this year she claimed the crown that had long since been denied her. Her is a story of talent against trials and overcoming. She's been the uncontested dirt queen against both males and females and has worked hard to get where she got this year. I'm sad to see her go, but I know that she has accomplished all that I ever hoped for and more.

Why Horse Should Win: Ventura officially declared the dirt sprinting world hers for the taking after the departures of Forbidden To Fly and Mastermind from the scene. She excelled this season and truly deserves recognition for her efforts. In addition to sprints, Ven stepped out of her comfort zone and took the Autumn Dawn Treader Cup at nine furlongs, proving her versatility and class.
