At times I think the logic here is to say let's punish a horse for not travelling all but for 2 races and let's reward HOY for the mediocrity in QR and or Blame have shown in their last 2 races especially if they do not go on to win the BC Classic. Are these 2 more deserved of HOY? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Anyone who would vote for any horse other than her if she wins the BC Classic has an axe to grind.

There's nothing similar to the situations that prevent a BC Classic winner from winning HOTY in place this year. I mean if Proviso wins the Mile (which will lead me to have a heart attack) then she should get some admiration but the vote ought to be unanimous.
