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: 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.
