Shireffs-- Zenyatta is HOY

[DaTruth]

It comes as no great surprise that her connections still think she is HOY. Less defensible are the racing journalists who said she was HOY regardless of what happened on Saturday.

Who said that? I'll be honest, If she beats Blame by a head, I don't think she would of gotten the vote. I think she needed to dominate Blame. If people think this close defeat cost her the HOY, I think they're mistaken. It would of been close, but I think Blame still would of gotten HOY.

This is also stupid. She would have been close to unanimous had she won. Thankfully the NFL doesn't have a vote on the end of the year champion or else the 07 Patriots would have won been the Champions despite losing to Giants in the SB.

I dont know or care. Horses awards are fairly clear cut most of the time, including this year.
Blame will be HoY and Older Horse
Zenyatta will be older filly/mare
Goldikova will probably win turf champion
Blind Luck will be champion 3 yo filly
Looking at Lucky will be champion 3 yo colt
Awesome whatever will be 2 yo filly
Uncle mo will be 2 yo colt
I suppose Big Drama will be sprinter

Shirreffs sure used the word "if" in that article a lot. I agree with Vic on HOY.If you beat her,how can you give it to her?Shirreffs doesn't understand the award is not for "doing good for the business".
