I couldn't agree more. It's like we are desperate to laud praise in this industry.

Maybe they need to tweak the system somehow since we've run the gamut on most of the 'historical' entries. Perhaps voting/entries every 10 years or so... and really it should be *no less* than a 2/3 majority vote.

I think Blind Luck, Grace and Gio were really nice horses, but HOF? Eh.

That’s a horrendous group of “Hall of Fame” jockeys.
