Under this 10 finalist and 4 get in format ... the smart thing to do would be to get the deserving old time horses on the ballot.

Hermis isn't in the Hall Of Fame ... here are his accomplishments:

Quote:
U.S. Champion Three Year Old, 1902.
U. S. Horse of The Year, 1902.
U.S. Champion Handicap Horse, 1903.
U.S. Horse of The Year, 1903.
U.S. Champion Handicap Horse, 1904.
Twice matched Saratoga's track record for 1-1/8 mi
He won 28 of 55 career starts. Horse of the Year at age 3. Horse of the Year at age 4. Won the Suburban and was champion handicap horse at age 5.

At least he will keep a jockeys name off the list.

Esposa is one of the great racemares of all-time. She's not in the Hall of Fame.

I can come up with a lot of horses who would have kept Borel at this year, and more of those jockeys out in the future.
