Untapable was 4-4 in Grade I races against her own sex.
This idea that Horse of the Year needs to go to undefeated horses has become pervasive and it is just awful in my opinion.
Realistically, it's a silly award that jumped the shark four years ago. A large group of non-betting social media titans seem to choose one horse each year, abandoning reason and projecting their opinion on all others. This year they reject Bayern because A) he had the audacity to lose a few times and B) they accept him as the BCC winner about as much as the Democrats accepted Bush in 2000.
