Thankfully that won't be happening.

However, I still remain hopeful that one day the Hall will recognize Dynever.

Based on the last six weeks trainer Rudy Rodriguez should be eligible for the hall.How can a guy with zero experience win at 30% while veteren trainers like Gary Sciacca go zero for the month of May? Not one winner in a month.What a great job the drug testers are doing in N.Y...

I'd be willing to make a friendly wager on that one.

If Point Given got in... Smarty Jones is getting in.

There is no love affair with Servais vs. the constant adulation that Baffert gets.

I would make a friendly or unfriendly wager. He got zero support this year. The day horses that win two legs of a Triple Crown and never race again make the Hall of Fame is the day all sanity leaves this sport.

That would have been a fun race to watch if they could have hooked up....I think Point Given was better but the two styles would have made it a good race.

You mean Street Cry, it would have been interesting had he been around for the triple crown, would Point Given had even made the Hall of Fame? Think about it...We know who the better sire is.

I always liked Street Cry going back to his 2YO season, but how is this relevant to anything? Some of today's top sires were not champions on the track (i.e., Distorted Humor, Smart Strike, Indian Charlie), but outperformed more celebrated race horses in the breeding shed.

He was on the ballot this year? I didn't know that.

However, I don't see how PG's overall record is much better that SJ's.

What do you think of Ghostzapper's chances?

He was eligible to be on the ballot this year.

If only Smarty had taken down Burning Roma in the Haskell by a head, he too would be worthy.

The hall of fame voters probably will consider the fact the Ghostzapper was on steroids, morphine, EPO or any other drugs that the great Bobby Frankel was using at the time.

Yeah, but he brought all this excitement and thousands of new fans to the sport or something. Look at 'em...they are everywhere.
