Who Is Horse Of The Year?

Fixed that for you.

Seriously, man, why can't you just admit that you're anti-Rachel Alexandra? I know you keep saying that you said she was deserving of an Eclipse for horse of the year before Saturday, but I can't quite seem to find that post. You've been trying to find somebody - anybody - to take the award from her for three months now, and while you've finally found a horse with credentials good enough to potentially do it, the actual horse in question has nothing to do with your argument. I'd bet even money that we'd be seeing the same argument from you if Gio Ponti had won on Saturday instead of Zenyatta.

There are 53 people thus far that also believe Zenyatta has earned HOY so I am hardly alone here, frankly I don't care what people believe, I know am being truthful, I can wake up every morning and stare in the mirror. Again if one stands against RA for HOY, they must be a hater or have some hidden motive. This is getting way too old...

Just you, actually. Nobody else has the anti-Rachel Alexandra track record that you've got going for you.

Gimme a break, you would advocate pro-censorship. I dare anyone to find one post of mine that ever said Rachel was not a good horse.

Just 1, until then just zip the inquisition like convo.

No, only the people who have been acting like haters for months for no good reason. Those people are haters, not everyone who thinks Zenyatta should get it. The hidden motive, or at least the most apparent hidden motive...is being a hater.

Important difference.

Do you know how easy it is to make up another account and vote multiple times? I call for all Zenyatta voters to own up and let us know who you are. Or Steve can go in and take a look and see how many people voted yet have no posts on the board.

I voted for Zenyatta and wonder how many people voted against her just because they hate poly. The Classic was open to Rachel and no doubt was a far tougher field than the Woodward. Seeing Zen wait for Twice Over to clear and then going outside to catch Gio does it for me. That said I'd fully support co-HOY's.

Ghosts in here padding the Zenyatta stats no doubt.

I'm sure it will balance out the amount of people who voted against Rachel because of her connections.

Zenyatta vote here, because I remember RA's defining race as the Breeders Cup Classic her owner hide from. No guts no glory.
