North American Champion Older Female
No knock on Age Of Scorpio, but is there a reason that there wasn't a vote for this category? I'm very proud of the campaign Silence Suzuka had (https://www.simhorseracing.com//horse.p ... ID=1217160) had, winning 3 Grade 1 races while also being competitive against the top males in the DR division in non-restricted races.

Re: North American Champion Older Female
You *should* be very proud. She never lost against her own gender, and notched 3 Grade 1 wins.
But, those were her only 3 wins.
AOS beat the boys, in Grade 1s, twice, and finished 2nd in her two efforts in races with purses of > $1 million. Your girl finished 3rd, 4th and 10th in similar races.
Obviously they were both outstanding fillies and had your girl won or even gotten 2nd in any of those big 3 races she would have surely made it close enough for a vote.
But, those were her only 3 wins.

Re: North American Champion Older Female
Apples to oranges when you are comparing DS to DR races, and I'm not looking to get into that here. I'm not saying one is more deserving than the other, just that it seems like it should have been included in the voting with more than one outstanding choice in the category running in totally different divisions.Paul Sellers wrote: ↑2 years ago You *should* be very proud.
