I really hope you're not comparing those four races to the snooze-fest leading up to the Classic that Zenyatta ran this year...

Nope. It just proved that the Triple Crown races are not the barometer that the writers used.

Ask horses like Silver Charm and Afleet Alex what their exciting Triple Crown campaigns meant to HOY voters.

Sorry those races were snooze-fests for you. What was the Mother Goose?

The way a HOY should win when beating a snoozefest field is what the Mother Goose was.
