Okay good.
Just wondering about a couple of things...
1. If Goldikova was considered last year or the year before (in theory) or had won this year and was considered... why is it okay to consider a horse with one run (and I am not objecting to this) BUT it's such a joke to consider a horse like Acclamation?
I don't have his record in front of me.... didn't he win 3 Grade 1's in a row this year as well as 2 G2s?
If this is west coast bias than why is Tizway, who i think had 2 wins this year and both in NY (out of how many starts? 4?), being talked about?
He did travel but he didn't win at Charlestown or at Gulfstream so if that is going to be argued it's pretty weak... no?
Again I am not saying Acclamation deserves it by any means... only pointing out that I think the debate is a little unfair (!).
Stay Thirsty is, as usual, being ignored and while he wasn't stellar this year none of them were really. I'm surprised no one is talking about him

He makes more sense than most anyone else.
Right now, I think the only three that make any sense at all would be HDG, Capo Blanco or Acclamation. HDG is almost a certainty to win it.
