HOY - Main Sequence , Untapable???

[letswastemoney]

People seem to be counting Untapable's female restricted G1 wins as equal to any open company G1 win, which I wouldn't do. But it seems like popular logic.

What Main Sequence has managed to do is quite remarkable but unfortunately it has come without much fanfare, lost in the 3yr old talk with SB, CC and Bayern. Horse of the year will go to Bayern and deservedly so, but what Main Sequence did this year should not be lost on us especially since we have been looking for our American turf wonder to take on the supposed superior Euros.

That had to be the criteria to give it to zenyatta the year she 'won' it. She never beat an open company field that year and was still awarded HOY despite losing head-to-head to the horse who deserved it. That award was rendered meaningless to me after that.

I felt the same way when Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich beat Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream for the Best Actress Oscar.
