Goldikova horse of the Year?
 

Why not I ask..... well deserving after her performance.

1. Blame
2. Uncle Mo.

Those are the only two possibles, and really, it doesn't go beyond #1.

I love Goldi as much as anyone, but I don't think the US should be giving out HOY awards to horses who run here once. It sends out the wrong message about how we value our own races. YMMV.

I know that she can win it and God knows I wish Zenyatta would get some special award but no... Blame is HOY.

The HOF as soon as she is eligible is not bad.

HotY???

She's the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










So what if she can't GO THE DISTANCE :D

I don't get the goat reference man. Why do you keep saying that?

Lots of goats win three Breeders Cup races, so I really see how Smoothie came up with the nickname. Makes perfect sense.

She's the greatest, but I'm not in favor of giving it to a horse that ran once this year in the US.

Shes is great, and Im really happy she is running next year.
With that said, I would give it to Blame, Uncle Mo, Zenyatta and even Quality Road over her. Its a year long award, right? So QR Met Mile, Donn and Woodward have to be worth more...

To be fair, if the connections of Zenyatta just wanted her to win 3 BC races, she almost certainly could have. Does anyone doubt she could have taken the Ladies Classic this year?

Goldikova's accomplishment is taking on the best of either sex, whenever, wherever. Used to love Ouija Board for the same reason, but Goldikova does her one better.

I know facts and bets are your kryptonite, but Goldikova is a group 1 winner going 9 furlongs and was beaten 4 lengths by Zarkava going 1 5/16ths. She's better at a mile, but it's not as though she can't go a little farther.

Another fact...Zenyatta has won ONE 10 furlong race.

lol

Hey Da Hoss. Get it right.

Zenyatta was better in defeat than Blame was in victory. The race you use against her is like holding Slew's gold cup against him.

Ask Haskin. He'll tell you.

What are you talking about? I'm not holding any race against her. I thought she ran huge.

But she was not better in defeat than the winner. I don't care who says it.

Really? Well for someone not holding it against her nice profile pic:)

Thanks. I see it's serving it's purpose.

Thanks for admitting you're holding it against her?

Again if that's the case you're showing her at her finest:)

Thanks for calling the profile pic nice. After the race I said nice things about her. She's a very, very good horse.

What else do you want me to say?
