I dont think Singspeil should have won it with that record, it must have been a very very weak year. Who was the runner up?

If Foreign results counted then Sahkee should have been horse of the year over Tiznow at Belmont, Tiznow was very ordinary that year.

If Foreign results counted Ridgewood Pearl should have been champion turf horse instead of Northern Spur. I could go on an on.
You completely avoid the question. The question was WHY DID SINGSPIEL WIN IT? Not whether you thought he should or whether you agree with them counting foreign records. And the only answer is because they DO consider foreign records. You can argue forever about whether or not they should consider them but how can you debate the fact that they do?
