Hard to argue with this stellar logic. The Classic is not the ONLY reason Blame should be HOY. It's one of many. Whereas the only case I see being made for Zenyatta is "she did so much for the game". She certainly didn't deserve based on her races this year, unless beating a total of ONE grade 1 winner in her victories (Switch who got her grade 1 the last week of December) is a HOY campaign.
