Curlin is HOTY... please no whinning by Zenyatta crowd. Fillies and mares participate in restricted races. If Zenyatta had taken on boys in Breeders' Cup and prevailed, she would have earned HOTY.

Curlin won open Grade I races at multple venues on two continents. Zenyatta left California for her lone non-synthetic race and did not even cross Mississippi River! One could argue that she is California HOTY, or synthetic HOTY.
