At times I think the logic here is to say let's punish a horse for not travelling all but for 2 races and let's reward HOY for the mediocrity in QR and or Blame have shown in their last 2 races especially if they do not go on to win the BC Classic. Are these 2 more deserved of HOY? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

In my opinion if Blind Luck or Proviso were to go on and win their respective races, they would have had as good, if not better years than Zenyatta. They traveled and faced better competition more consistently. I don't believe in rewarding ducking.
Sitting out, while the best run against each other, then sweeping up at the end doesn't do it for me. Just my opinion and I'm sure I'm in the minority. That's ok.
