I took a screenshot of the HOTY Showing LB at 2:05 am HEE time.

Here is the Screenshot of the HOTY showing winner? of 177

Here is a screenshot of MY horse at 2:45 am HEE time

And the HOTY Showing LB at 2:46am HEE time (all orig screenshots have time stamps I have referenced

I am quite confused as to how this happened??

Who's horse should be the HOTY SHowing for 177?

The second screenshot of the LB is explained by stuff resetting after RO, so the winner was either your horse or the one listed in the winners. The screenshot of your horse's page doesn't really mean anything as the standings on horse pages are only updated hourly around :50. It does seem like there was some sort of bug though, considering the other horse isn't even listed in your first screenshot.

I can say when I checked HOTY on the days leading up to RO, Cooper was at #1 and Killer Hotrod was #2. I'm not sure where Future Jewel was when I checked. I can't say for sure why Cooper dissapeared from the LB at the time you checked, but I do know he had over 130 points and was at #1 on the days leading up to it.

Looking at this again, I just realized that the first screenshot was taken after awards are sent out. Since the HOTY awards can only be won once it makes sense if the winner disappears from the LB once they've received the award. There likely was no bug, just a misunderstanding.

Thank you Eyrie, that makes sense. It was a very close race. Future Jewel was in the top 5 most of year 177. maybe next time
