With the U.S. government pushing amnesty and citizenship for illegals isn't it time a foreign horse 'Goldikova' get HOY? She not only beat the boys she destroyed them. Best performance of the day at least, by a ton. BTW Uncle Mo was a trailing 2nd. Being a 3 time BC champ (only horse ever) it should be her's but know it won't and can't happen.

And for those pushing for Blame? Didn't he barely hang on to a mare who never ran out of Cali and on poly (sans) Arkansas? Or is she now good enough to give reason to naming Blame HOY? Can't have it both ways and the only strong supporters of Blame should also be strong supporters of Zenyatta. To the haters he barely beat a mediocre horse and the rest of the field had to be horrible to finish that far behind her.

You're not making any sense.

There's really nobody else who can win besides Blame. . . Even if one were to have a negative opinion of him.

Lots of sense-making going on in this thread.

Not taking sides here but that was a pretty sweet set up. Well done!

As for the topic, Blame certainly deserves HOY. There really is no debate. I still cling to the notion that Zenyatta should have been HOY in 2009 but that is a moot point as well.

Goldikova was the best horse to run in AMerica this year and isn't that how you determine it?? She's HOY and it's not even debatable.

I cant' believe I have been posting in the Paddock the last 24 hours. It is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life.

So how dumb am I really. Be straight and not funny with me? How does my dumbness hurt the historical integrity of Derby Trail??
