Jones on HDG and weight

[blackthroatedwind]

The comments are so hilarious it makes it sound as though they don't believe she deserved Horse of the Year.

I just hope the Obeah is under allowance conditions.

Sigh.

It's such a burden having a reigning HOY.

You people have no idea.

If you look at Dream Supreme's final two races you can make a case that her assigned weight was the reason she lost.

In the Ballerina(G1) she visibly tired in the stretch, giving 9 pounds to the winner Shine Again, and finishing 3rd, 2 L back.

Her final race, 2 months later in the First Flight(G2), saw her giving 5 pounds to winner Shine Again in a 2nd place finish by a head.

they are hilarious. obviously they're fishing for low weights.

the sad part-it'll work. then if she has another good year, they'll turn around and politic for a repeat as HOY without having earned it.
