You can't name a single horse in the last 15 years who was unquestionably better than Point Given as a 3-year-old .... I can name about 50 3yo's over that span who were much better than Lookin At Lucky.
So from some dumb link about Lookin At lucky you have hypothesized that lots of people thinks he belongs? There are idiots all over it doesn't make them right. I'm glad you give credence to Bar shoes. Still waiting for Leroidesanimaux or whatever it is getting in after his gutty mile effort while wearing a crutch.

He was one hell of a turf horse.

Obviously he shouldn't come close because he's a turf horse.

It took all the way until 2008 for Manila to get in. Gio Ponti is not exactly Manila.

If Deshawn Park still leads the nation in wins as a black jockey based in West Virginia .. after not riding the first two months of the year and missing enough time to cost me 10K due to breaking his foot ..... does he deserve to get in?

That's good.

For a second there, I thought you were trying to wrestle away dumbest poster of the year away from a couple of Z fans.
