What's laughable is that people think Gio Ponti and Lookin At Lucky have a great shot of getting in.

What's laughable is that so many jockeys and trainers are in .. there should be about five or six of each per century.

You can't name a single horse in the last 15 years who was unquestionably better than Point Given as a 3-year-old .... I can name about 50 3yo's over that span who were much better than Lookin At Lucky.

So from some dumb link about Lookin At lucky you have hypothesized that lots of people thinks he belongs? There are idiots all over it doesn't make them right. I'm glad you give credence to Bar shoes. Still waiting for Leroidesanimaux or whatever it is getting in after his gutty mile effort while wearing a crutch.

He was one hell of a turf horse.

Obviously he shouldn't come close because he's a turf horse.

It took all the way until 2008 for Manila to get in. Gio Ponti is not exactly Manila.

Yup and he doesn't belong either.
