Published Eclipse Ballot Tally
An informal vote total: How seventeen voters see it
Updated: 01/05/07
We here at Equidaily.com have tallied the Eclipse ballots of seventeen voters from around the country that were appropriately bold enough to publish or broadcast their selections.
We thought it might be interesting to see how this intrepid group has decided to honor this year's racing world. And using this tally of seventeen as a barometer, it looks as though some categories will be a slam dunk, while others, such as 3YO Female, Turf Male and Jockey, might prove interesting when the award winners are eventually announced.
The voters' complete ballots are in the charts below [top selection in each category]. The total of their votes looks like this [note that some voters left categories empty on their published ballots]:
- Steeplechase: McDynamo [9], Sur La Tete [1]
