Commentator

[zippyneedsawin]

Thanks for posting the 'resumes', Phil.. All 4 are impressive and each deserves consideration for HOY based on their accomplishments this year. Looks like the BC will definately determine who gets it.

Commentator could absolutely be HOY with a win in the Classic.

If Curlin, BB, Commentator, and Zenyatta got in the gate, the winner gets HOY.

Of course, that showdown won't happen, but it would certainly be interesting.

Curlin's dubai races shouldnt count.

I dont know if they 'officially' do but people seem to take them into consideration. It shouldnt count anymore than the HK races do for a Euro that comes here and wins the BC then goes there. It is a North American award

the purse money over there shouldn't count towards north american earnings either.

It's not a North American earnings record that Curlin set. It is an earnings record for North American based horses. Thus the DWC counts.

I hope Curlin, BB and Commentator run in the BC Classic and finish in the last 3 spots. And a bunch of ATW horses run 1-3. Maybe they'll get rid of the crap.

(just wishing)

zenyatta is looking strong for horse of the year... there are many horses who are " poly,cushion" whatever horses, if one of them wins the classic, and zenyatta wins the distaff, shes champ

She has a chance, but I'm still not sure there will be enough support for her over BB or Curlin, even if one of those two don't win the BCC.

If she were to run in the classic and win she would have a chance of being HOR. Otherwise.. not happening. Curlin gets that honor.

Agreed, she has to run in the Classic. Her romping home in LC over a synthetic surface at 4/5 is going to be a total letdown (unless I hit the Hi-5).
