You probably just wanted one more face-off between Blind Luck and HDG and figured the only option left was seeing who brought more in the ring.

I'm glad HDG is back next year, too.

Game on Dude as HOY? That's about as likely as And They're Off winning an Oscar for Best Picture.

I have no idea what the criteria is as far as needing to run classic distance. I would say Caleb's Posse.

I agree with this. 10-5-1-1. Two G1's, a G2 and a G3, wins from 6F to 1 1/16. In a year where no one stood out, his resume looks better than the rest.

If Uncle No opted to go in the Mile where he had more of a shot to win, then he could be in the running for it

If you believe that then Caleb's Posse should be a lock.

I remember a movie some years ago, I think it was "Brewster's Millions" and Richard Pryor was trying to convince people that none of the guys running for president were good enough so he started a campaign telling people to chose "none of the above". I think that would fit horse racing this year. If pressed, I think I'd lean towards Havre de Grace but I find myself increasingly considering Game on Dude.
