Borel In Hall Of Fame?

[Kingturf]

But I would hope they stop basing the Hall Of Fame for Horseracing based on number of wins. I think Russell Baze would fit my argument.

Silky Sullivan Handicap (1981, 1988)
California Derby (1981)
Golden Gate Fields Handicap (1982, 2000)
Bay Meadows Handicap (1982, 1995, 2005)
Oak Tree Invitational Stakes (1984,1989)
El Camino Real Derby
(1984, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2007)
Del Mar Debutante Stakes (1986)
Longacres Mile Handicap (1988, 2003, 2004)
San Carlos Handicap (1990)
San Gorgonio Handicap (1990)
Oak Leaf Stakes (1990)
Bed O' Roses Breeders' Cup Handicap (1991)
Oklahoma Derby (1996)
Jim Beam Stakes (1998)
Lane's End Stakes (1998)
Bay Meadows Breeders' Cup Sprint (2002)
Bay Shore Stakes (2005)
King's Bishop Stakes (2005)
Sunshine Millions Dash (2005)
Churchill Downs Handicap (2006)
Aristides Breeders' Cup Stakes (2006)
Azalea Breeders' Cup Stakes (2008)
California Oaks (2009)
Lost in the Fog Stakes (2009)
Sunshine Millions Classic (2010)
San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile 2010

Over 10k wins and have not won nothing to write a special book on.

Watch Russell Baze ride today and if the young riders can still put in the effort that he does to win they to will deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, provided that they dont act like Cory Nakatani.

You give Russel Baze the horses that other Hall of Fame riders had and Baze would have also won with them and if the roles were reversed I dont think a single rider in the Hall would of got the wins Russell got with the horse he rode.

Answer this; How come when Russell Baze a.k.a Baze Meadow or Russell Gate Field showed up in BC or triple crown races he did nothing? Hell I recall several top notch horses he had mounts on did absolutely nothing. Before Ron Hansen was found on the rocks below the Golden Gate bridge. Baze was just racking up wins on the fair circuit and low level 5k claimers. I will always have a lack of understanding how this guy made it into the Hall of Fame. Then again, this was the first year you did not have to pick one from each category.

Decent rider yes....great rider....hell freaking no!

Borel should be in the Belmont Park Hall of Shame
