Still, not every category has a surefire winner. The finalists were recently announced, and although we weren’t asked to vote, here is how each member of the Racing Dudes writing team would have cast his ballot: Jared WelchAaron HaltermanMike "Slim" SpectorCurtis "Magic" KallewardMike SomichBrandon "B$" BauerRicky PasternakRacingDudes.com Consensus Horse of the YearBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarMitoleBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and Mortar Two-Year-Old MaleStorm the CourtStructorStructorStructorStructorStructorStorm the CourtStructor Two-Year-Old FemaleBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish IdiomBritish Idiom Three-Year-Old MaleMaximum SecurityMaximum SecurityCode of HonorMaximum SecurityMaximum SecurityMaximum SecurityCode of HonorMaximum Security Three-Year-Old FemaleCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefe Older Dirt MaleMitoleMitoleMitoleMitoleVino RossoMitoleMitoleMitole Older Dirt FemaleMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight BisouMidnight Bisou Male SprinterMitoleMitoleMitoleMitoleMitoleMitoleMitoleMitole Female SprinterCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefeCovfefe Male Turf HorseBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and MortarBricks and Mortar Female Turf HorseUniSistercharlieUniGot StormyUniUniSistercharlieUni OwnerKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceGary BarberKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceKlaravich Stables and William LawrenceKlaravich Stables and William Lawrence BreederCalumet FarmGodolphinCalumet FarmGodolphinGodolphinCalumet FarmCalumet FarmCalumet Farm TrainerChad BrownChad BrownChad BrownChad BrownChad BrownChad BrownChad BrownChad Brown JockeyIrad Ortiz, Jr.Jose OrtizIrad Ortiz, Jr.Irad Ortiz, Jr.Irad Ortiz, Jr.Irad Ortiz, Jr.Irad Ortiz, Jr.Irad Ortiz, Jr. Apprentice JockeyKazushi KimuraAngel DiazKazushi KimuraKazushi KimuraAngel DiazJulio CorreaKazushi KimuraKazushi Kimura (note: Aaron would have voted for Karl Broberg [Trainer] and Endzone Athletics [Owner] if given the chance) Did we get it right?
