You'd think that people who apparently covet a Horse of the Year crown would really carefully construct a campaign geared towards earning it. Winning the Apple Blossom and the Vanity is hardly the start to such a campaign and is far too similar to what they've done in years past. Before anyone comes back at me with, "she showed up in the biggest race of the year" remember that a race does not make a campaign and a race does not win HOTY.
If Zenyatta is healthy and standing in her stall during the Hollywood Gold Cup then her connections deserve the same fate they've suffered the last two years.
