I'd vote for Uncle Mo.

If the case for Uncle Mo is pressed strong enough ... Blame and Uncle Mo will split enough votes and Zenyatta is sure to win it... which is good with me.

Blame is simply not deserving of HOY at all .. it's either Zenyatta's or Uncle Mo's as far as I'm concerned.

Great point Drugs. Uncle Mo may have a great future ahead of him. It was a very impressive race.

Blame had a pretty cowardly campaign as well.

He ran just five times this year ... with long gaps between starts.

He won the Whitney and the Breeders Cup Classic .. easily the two best fields assembled this year. So he has that going for him.

He also ducked the Woodward and ran like **** in the JCGC.

I think she will still get it...even in defeat.

The award is for horse of the year. This year. Blame will have finished this year 4 for 5 and won the BC Classic. Zenyatta will have finished the year 5 for 6 and finished second in the BC Classic. It's one of the wierdest statistical oddities I've ever seen that she won't ever win horse of the year but unfortunately that's the way it's going to shake out. Imagine you owned Blame. How would you feel if you beat one of the all time greats and they gave HOY to the horse you just beat. That would be totally unfair.

I strongly agree again... Blame is a slow, grinding type... Congrats on the 3 Grade 1's this year... Id much rather see Z get it, even if its more of a lifetime type deal. I would feel better w/ UM getting it over Blame.
