IMO, for one of our turf horses to be in the Hall of Fame -- they would need to be persumed good enough that if they went to Europe they could likely emerge as the best horse campaigning there.
I think that's mainly what people voting in the poll aren't getting -- turf accomplishments are viewed with much less importance than dirt accomplishments. Historical precedence... and it's not exactly like our top class turf horses have done anything in the last 15 years that should change that discrimination.
