It was later learned that the one dissenting vote had been cast by mistake and that the voter had intended to vote for Zenyatta in the Older Female category.

The change in voting was made official by the three sponsoring organizations of the Eclipse Awards -- the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form (DRF) and the National Turf Writers Association (NTWA).
