This is a bit extreme, never mind the whole "everyone ought to think the way I do" rant.
Only one of the 30 voters this week cast a vote for Gun Runner anywhere in their respective top 10s and he was HOY last year, is unbeaten in a single start this year, and owns the highest Beyer of any runner this year. And yet you don't give him a mention.
Several voters dropped Unique Bella from their ballots, too, presumably because she was retired--like Justify and Gun Runner.
Just as your own "one race is enough" perspective is a valid method of ranking horses, a voter arbitrarily requiring a horse to complete (or be on its way to completing) a full campaign in order to earn their present vote is perfectly acceptable.
