Why not?
She won two Grade/Group 1 races in 2013 which is more than can be said for any 2YO filly in the US, including a runaway win in the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf which was IMO one of the more impressive showings during the entire two days and certainly the most impressive showing by a 2YO filly when you take into consideration the lackluster results of the Juvenile Fillies Dirt with Ria Antonia getting her only stakes victory of the year via the disqualification of She's A Tiger.
If Chriselliam gets passed over in this category, it'll be due to bias against European runners by the American Eclipse Voters and that would be shameful.

SHE WILL GET PASSED OVER BECAUSE OF THE ANTI WORLD SENTIMENT THAT PERMEATES AMERICAN RACING. IM MADE AN ARGUMENT THAT DANK SHOULD BE IN THE RUNNING OF AMERICAN HORSE OF THE YEAR ON ANOTHER FORUM AND THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY, ONCE I LAID OUT HER YEAR COMPARED TO WISE DANS' THAT SENTIMENT CHANGED

I hear ya King!
But I don't see any other viable alternative for the voters. The Juvenile Fillies BC race on dirt was simply a disaster with the top contenders all failing to fire their best shots, the breakdown of Secret Compass (RIP) and the DQ of She's A Tiger which propelled a no name filly into the winner's circle. This would be a perfect opportunity to show that the BC Juvenile Turf races actually mean something by giving the award to the more deserving filly in spite of where she's based and what surface she races on.

I CAME TO THAT REALIZATION LONG AGO. FOR SOME REASON THE TB RACING MEDIA IN AMERICA SEEMS TO THINK AMERICAN HORSES ARE THE BEST DESPITE THE HORSES CONSTANTLY SHOWING HOW MEDIOCRE THEY CAN BE. WISE DAN WILL WIN HORSE OF THE YEAR DESPITE A 2013 YAWN FEST YEAR AND SHES A TIGER WILL WIN 2YO F DESPITE HER STAGGERING IN THE LANE AND INTERFERING WITH THAT OVER HORSE
