On top of that I think horses like Bayern, Tonalist and Shared Belief will have all done more if any of them wins the BC Classic. Even Close Hatches… If she were to win the Keeneland G1 and the Distaff I think she would be more deserving this year.

He's admirable that's for sure. But I did not think he was as impressive Derby day even before the set back.
Plus its not even a negative stance that Im taking on him. I just think if any of the horses I mentioned wins the Classic they will have had better overall years. Has a horse ever won the Belmont, JCGC and Classic or Haskell and Classic with a few other big wins and not win HOY?
