Rapid Redux has been the most consistent winner all year by far. He now has the opportunity to break PP and Zen's record of 19 straight wins. Because of the level he competes at he could never win more money than most G1 winners. He's becoming more popular but not like the freight train of Zen's popularity.
Rapid Redux is too blue collar to win HOY. If he did win I imagine those 'ole Kentucky folks would have a coronary.

i don't know if anyone knows the criteria. zenyatta's win last year was a pathetic joke, which makes me wonder if it can ever be taken seriously again.
apparently whatever owner does the most pr-wise will win hoy for his/her horse. i suggest lots of fan friendly photo ops in the coming weeks. or dancing lessons...
