If someone said Point Given was the best 3-year-old from 2010 going all the way back to Holy Bull ... I wouldn't even attempt to argue.

He was not a joke.

He did not do enough to be in the Hall of Fame. Not even close. I'm losing respect for you thinking he belongs.

He's arguably the best 3yo since Holy Bull. He won the Travers with a 117 Beyer wearing a bar shoe in his final lifetime start.. that to complete a four race sweep of the Preakness, Belmont, Haskell, and Travers.

He wasn't exactly a bad 2yo either ... he missed winning the BC Juvie by a nose despite being 14th and last on the turn. He went by good 2yo's like they were standing still. Macho Uno and Street Cry, the 1st and 3rd place finishers of that race .. were very good 2yos.

You think Lookin At Lucky was better?

What does Lookin at Lucky have to do with this? Nothing. Fact is Point Given didn't do enough. It's all about what you think constitutes a Hall of Fame career. If you want to dumb it down like a standardized test, go ahead. When I saw he got in, an obvious nod to a Baffert love affair in this business I decided it didn't matter who was in the Hall from here on out. Meaningless.
