Uncle Month! Someone is typing on their blackberry...

In any event, I think it would be a travesty if Blame isn't horse of the year, but come on, guys, does anybody really think that is going to happen?

The connections made their bed. I hope they are more gracious and applaud the deserving winner this time around.

Video at the end of the article - Post race news conference. I thought Hancock and Stall were particularly classy in their comments about Zenyatta.
But, I guess it will be fodder for further argument.

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.

Something does not feel right with a horse like Blame getting HO anything...
He is best older horse and thats only because they all sucked. He is the best of a terrible, terrible group.

so...zenyatta is part of a terrible, terrible group now? you hater, you.


but i can't help but think that had zenyatta won, this group wouldn't be considered terrible. she would have achieved great things vs a deep field.

I was never one of the people saying how great this group was. I thought QR was really good, same with Lucky. But as a group, ugh.

Right, and he beat the piss out of both of them yesterday. So Blame is undeserving because you don't like him?

I would rather see them give it to Z as more of a lifetime thing, no way she does not deserve to be named HOY.

Blame beat the current HOY favorites in both of his biggest races this year - QR in the Whitney and Z in the Classic. Everyone needs to get a grip. There is no debate.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THE AWARD IS FOR. Seriously. This isn't going anywhere good. Go back to believing what you write.
