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.
