New Hall of Fame

[King Glorious]

Ok, by now u all know me and know that I like to come up with crazy ideas. Here is the latest. What I'd like to do is see if we can come up with a new horse racing hall of fame. What I'd like to do is have the members of the forum weigh in with their opinions on what should be required to gain entry. As it is now, it's totally subjective. I have no problem with it being subjective but it leads to so many arguments. How can we say GZ or Smarty shouldn't be in there because they raced so sparingly when Ruffian, Majestic Prince, and AP Indy are in there? So I'd like for all of the forum members to list what would be their requirements for making the hall of fame and then we'll try to come up with a consensus opinion on the matter.

I looked all over and the best I could find was a list of champions going back to 1940. I'm sure some of u have better lists than the one I found. So what I would like to do is include only horses that raced from 1940 till the present. We'll figure out another way to deal with horses prior to that.

What this thread is NOT for is listing horses that u think should be there. All we are doing here is coming up with a consensus on what should be the requirements. Then what we can do later is go through the members that are in there and see who meets the requirements and who doesn't.

I'll start it off. My requirements to enter the hall of fame would be:

-a horse has to have been named a divisional champion in more than one season or HOY at least once.

-has to have won outside of restricted company. For fillies, they don't have to beat the boys but they do have to have won outside of the just 2yo or 3yo restricted races.

-if 10 or less career races, has to have won 70% and been ITM 90%

-if 11-20 career races, has to have won 65% and been ITM 80%.

-if 21-30 career races, has to have won 60% and been ITM 75%.

-if 30+ career races, has to have won 55% and been ITM 70%.
