Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 3, 2018 Journalists Posted December 3, 2018 I don’t believe that a horse wining the Triple Crown should automatically make him Horse of the Year because that sometimes means they still don’t get tested against older horses. But I still feel that Justify should be this year’s Horse of the Year. He won all of his races so easily and the other horse, Accelerate, had a big year, but he didn’t go undefeated like Justify did. It’s a hard choice. Accelerate had a great year and beat older horses. Accelerate was very good and I think he’ll go on and win the Pegasus World Cup. But I was so impressed with how easily Justify won the Triple Crown that he would be my choice. Turcotte does not have an Eclipse Award vote.
