No, your not the only one who is surprised. My AQHA "FRIENDS" had said a very very interesting line about the whole industry that I couldn't fight. Pm me if you want to know, at first its offensive, but it makes sense.

I'm not. I felt there was a strong case to be made for him, although things might have been a little different if Bayern's Classic win had not been "tainted".
I thought on the numbers it was between him and Main Sequence, so the one thing that did surprise me was that the voting wasn't even close.

No, not at all, I am glad and it was certainly well deserved.
The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.
