So suppose a horse swept three huge purse races while beating noone of any real value? Just like lava man!!!! That makes him HOY? Well lets see what happens when he comes east.

My theory is he doesn't have to go east
let someone else do the dirty work
but...in most years yes, you're right, he hasn't done enough
this year however, winning those races certainly puts him #1
because there's not a horse out there with a resume who comes close
at least not in the Classic division
