Give it up. It's not worth defending him, for one you won't win the argument and two there is no definitive answer.

Just so you know, for my money, Big Brown is HOY unless Curlin wins the BC or if Curlin doesn't, then Zenyatta has a chance to steal it with a dominating Distaff or even moreso with a Classic win.
