Why Horse Should Win: Aquatic Addiction might have had one of the best comeback season's Firestone (or GHF/TW) has had in a while. Going from almost no HOTY exposure or races in his 4 year old season, Theo's season took a turn for the best in February. There is no doubt that Theo has worked the hardest he has ever worked this season, and his results sure prove it. Almost every single one of his races was a HOTY ranked one, and he proved to be one of the best this season had to offer. Win after win, he ran well in the Senior Sprinter series at Green Horse Fields, where he alternated races with stablemate Sophie's Voice. At the end of the season, he headed to the Breeder's Cup, where he was to face the best sprinters the tracks had to offer. He showed his true heart and his ability to persevere through anything, where he just narrowly lost to Ventura in the end. At the end, he will retire to stud and Firestone hopes he can throw some beautiful sprinter babies next season.

Why Horse Should Win: Coming off of what was her worst season, Tears Of An Angel came back this year and set the bar high. She came back to win eleven races, nine of them horse of the year races and ran against the best horses this site has to offer. She outran the likes of Demonic Desires, Silver Serendipity, Turf Triple Sprinter Crown Winner Call Me Crooked, Sophie's Voice and Aquatic Addiction. On top of that this season, she won nine HOTY races and achieved a 50% winning percentage and came back to defend her title as the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Sprint champion.

Why Horse Should Win: A Turf Triple Sprinter Crown Winner, and a winner of over half her starts this season it doesn't get much better than this. Crook took every challenge thrown at her this season and did her very best in every race she ran. She outran the best of her crop to claim the Turf Triple Sprinter Crown, and she also notched a win against older, experienced horses. She also came in second in the Breeders' Cup to a very classy horse. Along with that she never once placed out of the money this season, and the worst she placed all season was third, once in twenty starts. I think Crook should definitely be apart of the conversation when considering who should win this award.
