It was you that said it should go to the best season, not me. All I did was point out that there have been many times that the award went to who the voters felt was the best horse and not who had the best season. I am not sure why it’s such a ridiculous thing to point that out. Arazi was a HOY finalist off one race, a restricted 2yo race at that, but it’s somehow crazy to think Omaha Beach should be considered for top 3yo.

The funny thing to me is that some people will act as if it’s such a ridiculous thought that he should win.....then vote for him second.

On ATR, Mandella indicates BC Sprint is his early lean.

If Omaha Beach wins the BC Sprint, he is in the discussion for the 3YO champion, and probably finishes second to Code of Honor ( discounting, for now, Maximum Security winning the Cigar ). Keep in mind, this year's BC Sprint, as of now, is shaping up to be the strongest in years, and includes ( at least IMO ) the only legitimate challenger for Horse of the Year to Bricks and Mortar in Mitole.
