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?
