I firmly believe the Melbourne Cup would attract the same field at $3 mil. The best Europeans don't even come, and $10 mil is about 10x what they race for over there.

Their adults and they have a child so I'm sure there is interaction between them all the time .
She usually doesn't do pre or post race interviews so it shouldn't be an issue .
The one positive for her is that she will stop getting asked the stupid question "what does OP think of this horse or it's chances".

And why would he need to do that. She has just as much right to be there as he does.

Not sure what your point is there Leggy. Return To Conquer got 20 points for winning a LR race.
At the end of their 2yo season La Dorada had a higher final rating which was the point of difference I was making.
Return To Conquer won at 1100m and 1200m. La Dorada won at 1100m, 1200m & 1400m.
Whilst they never met race day in the G1 Sistema Return To Conquer narrowly beat Landlock by a head. As a comparison La Dorada beat Landlock by three lengths the start prior in the Karaka Millions and beat Landlock by four and a half lengths in the G1 Manawatu Sires Produce.

The sweepstakes shouldn't count towards horse of the year. It should be established group race performances. A couple of years ago the voters went for the sweepstake winner rather than the Group 1 winners and ended up with egg on their faces as I don't think he won another race. Admittedly it was a very poor 2yo crop that year.
The sweepstake should only be used to split two horses if everything else is equal. But I don't think the other 2yo was eligible for the sweepstake so it would be a bit harsh to penalise one horse because he wasn't eligible for a race.
In Australia they wouldn't even consider any restricted entry races when deciding on horse of the year. Sweepstake stakes money doesn't count when determining entry for races like the Golden Slipper.

Why would that be... I am sure she has been able to move on...she is an asset to wherever she works in my opinion.

I can't understand what your point is. My view is Emily M is the consumate professional, at least she has been there done that and has an intimate knowledge of the thouroughbred both from a breeding and racing perspective.

Come on El Vencedor should be horse of the year...he won the most group 1's of any horse in the season...if he does not win then the scoring is rigged...his record was clearly the best all season.

I have decided you are correct. He did win three group 1s from memory. I was tending to under-rate that because he didn't beat much and he failed in HK. But really, he can only beat what lines up against him, and he did. You can't really argue against three Group 1s. So yes, I imagine El Vencedor will be horse of the year, and rightly so.
