Charting the 2012 Horse of the Year race

It’s a long season with many more important races to come, but it is never too early, in my opinion, to start discussing who may become the 2012 Horse of the Year. With that in mind, I took the current Top 10 horses from the most recent NTRA poll, of which I am a voter, and charted all of their results this year. I realize there are some candidates you may favor that are not on the chart, but I kept things clean by only including the current Top 10. It’s interesting to see the  similarities and differences on the media poll compared to the fan's poll right here on HRN. Please enjoy the chart, my corresponding comments, and video highlighs for each horse, but most importantly, I’d like you to join in the debate with a comment, and by voting on the corresponding poll on the right.
