Old English Rancho's Acclamation (Unusual Heat) didn't make the Breeders' Cup due to injury, but had done enough in 2011 to be named champion older male at the Eclipse Awards. As a 5-year-old last season, the Don Warren-trained horse won five straight, including the GI Pacific Classic, GI Charlie Whittingham, GI Eddie Read S. The final vote tally was: Acclamation, 95; Game On Dude (Awesome Again), 70; Tizway (Tiznow), 52; Drosselmeyer (Distorted Humor), 21; Flat Out (Flatter), 4; Cape Blanco (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), 3; Wise Dan (Wiseman's Ferry),1; Voter Abstention, 1.
