Multiple Gr1 winner ? - Giacomo HOY ??

[lemoncrush]

Ha-Ha...
I'm not criticizing the post, I just think it's funny that it's about the 4th time you've started a new topic about a horse being HOY. Giacomo beats a small field of maybe G3 calibur horses for his first win in over 14 months, and you're thinking HOY?
Come on. I'm all for letting Giacomo and his fans/connections enjoy the win, but lets not get carried away.

I picture midget wrestling.

if giacomo wins his next three races, that would be defeating lava man and PD in the PC, and that overrated flower alley in the BCC, then the award would be between Giacomo and Invasor.
and since Gi won the KD, by sentiment he would be HOY.

sorry if that disturbs you..

Flower Alley is not overrated. What about Bernardini? Barbaro would also get it before Giacomo (a grade 2 horse at best).

Honestly, I don't think Block was claiming that Giacomo WOULD or SHOULD be HOY if he wins the PC and BCC. Just stating that IF he wins those races, it could be a possibility...

But I think that IF (and that is a big IF) LM; PD; Bernardini, FA all fumble, and if Giacomo wins those races, Boldruler is right, HOY goes to Barbaro if not for what he did on the track for sentimental reasons.

Buffy, but the same could be said for most ANY horse. Anyone who wins 2/3 Grade 1s including the BC Classic could win HOY. Giacomo is going to have trouble winning again this year for two reasons. 1. Not all races are going to set up for him like the Derby and SD Cap did. 2. In future races he'll be chasing down better horses than the tiring Grade 3 runner Preachinatthebar.

buff, he wins his next three he will hjave defeated all the contenders and should be HOY. if he wins the PC, which is a good posibility, and then he goes east and wins say the Jcgcup, he will have prolly defeated flower alley there and invasor, maybe commentator. then he would race the BCC and if he wins that he would have defeated everyone of consequence.

Barbaro might get 3 yo hoy. he's a lock.

your post is factually inaccurate, he is in fact already a grade 1 winner, at best.

He isn't a 3yr old anymore. There are no fluky races where a mediocre horse can win a grade 1. He is now just a grade 2 horse at best. By your reasoning then Funny Cide is still a grade 1 horse, which he is not.
