Did anyone watch the program?
Anyone really surprised at the winners?

Here’s a rundown of 2019 winners.

I know there are other year end awards within the entire racing community that get handed out.
Anyone have results of those or have they not been announced yet?

Glad for Bricks and Mortar, of course. Terrific horse, wish him the best in his new job.

I think Maximum Security was a good choice for three-year-old male. Not happy with the actions of his owner, but that is not the horse’s fault and just my personal opinion. For pete’s sake, West, can’t you let it go?

I watched about the last half of it (60 minutes).

Thought it was well run without too many thank you’s taking 10 minutes :lol:

Tickled for Storm the Court. I know the trainer is just one part of the ‘package’ but seeing Brittney on TVG frequently and watching her reaction (TVG had a camera on her) when Storm the Court won the BC Juvenile was something I won’t soon forget. (Rated right up there with watching Kurt Hoover seeing his mare Zuzanna (part-owner) who was claimed for $8000 win the G3 Red Carpet Handicap ).

Was rooting for Vino Rosso and happy he won.

Not as happy that anything Ortiz won I know Irad and Jose are brothers just wish they had a slightly better reputation on the track IMO although they are both definitely talented riders.

Covefefe… such an accomplishment in winning both Female Sprinter and 3YO Filly

Older Dirt Female… 3 good (IMO) candidates) Was hoping for Blue Prize but all three of Midnight Bisou, Blue Prize and Elate would have been good choices.

Loved the montages of TBs after their career on the track.
