Personal HOY
There have been some members of this forum that have been racing fans for many years and some are fairly new. What I was hoping to do with this thread is hear from each of you, if you want to, who you would have voted for HOY in each of your years if you had a vote. It's pretty clear that most people not in the media did not support Zenyatta for HOY yet she still won the title. I know she gets the official title but to an individual that didn't vote for her, does he still recognize her as the champ? Personally, I don't. I think of the champion as the one I would have voted for. I was curious to see how many other times your vote would have been different than the actual winner.
Tear this apart is you feel like it but here's mine:
1986-Manila
1987-Java Gold
1988-Alysheba
1989-Sunday Silence
1990-Go for Wand
1991-In Excess
1992-Paseana
1993-Kotashaan
1994-Holy Bull
1995-Cigar
1996-Alphabet Soup
1997-Formal Gold
1998-Skip Away
1999-Artax
2000-Tiznow
