And it's terrible, idiotic, completely unjust thinking if you believe she should get it as a lifetime achievement award.

I think I would agree Blame had a better year. He beat QR on the square... He won the CLassic. I would not have any problem if they give it to Z though. I think its legit that it could happen.

How on earth do you write these two sentences in one post about HORSE OF THE YEAR?

You know what Im trying to say.
Its an injustice if she never gets a HOY awards. Blame is slow and would be the worst HOY I can recall, likely ever.... Give it to big Z.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

This post caught my attention, when I think back to last year, I didn't think Blame would have made a good training pony for Summer Bird, now obviously he has improved this year, just adding Gomez was improvement enough. But had Summer Bird not been hurt last year, and yes I know I may be somewhat biased, he would have cleaned up the male division this year. He was still improving as a 3 year old and at 4 with those connections, wacky owner and all, he would have had a campaign that would have made Cigar proud. There would be no question who the HOY would be for 2010.

Actually under the current trend of projecting accomplishment rather than achieving it SB may be the upset choice to be older horse this year. Zenyatta did beat him after all.

I think it could happen, but it wouldn't be legit.

Really? The horse was babied a bit, but 9 for 13 and never out of the money in his career isn't disastrous. He beat older's twice on two different surfaces quite easily at 3. He's pretty good.

You have to start thinking with your head instead of your heart.

Why did the Moss's decide to send Zenyatta to the BC? Answer - a win would sew up HOY. That's been their frustrated quest for the past 3 years. She didn't get it done. Should she win HOY based on lifetime achievement? That isn't what HOY is about, and you know it. Her races prior to the Classic were not worthy of HOY contemplation. A loss in the Classic, regardless of how close she came to winning, is not a good enough reason to vote her HOY. I would be surprised if she does win. Not saying it's not possible - just not probable.

This is a truly bad opinion. Get some perspective man, a lot happened before 2003.

It's funny you think Quality Road and Lookin at Lucky would be worthy, yet Blame literally knocks Lookin at Lucky out of the way, and a search party is looking for Quality Road and Blame who urinated on both of them
isn't worthy?
