If Dini beats older horses then he's the Champ in my eyes. So ole Barb ran some good races ok but Dini hasn't even been challanged in his last 3 or 4. Just because you win the Yum's Brand Derby doesn't mean you get the 3 year old HOY.

I think Barbaro will get some votes based on his performance on the track. Deservedly so. And I'll think he'll get some votes for his determination off the track, God willing he pulls through. Deservedley so.
I think his ordeal off the track merits consideration for Horse Of The Year Voting. |

If Bernardini wins one of the big fall races, 3 yo honors should undoubtedly be his. How can anyone argue that?
Barbaro was an excellent horse but we arent talking could haves or should haves we are talking about "dids" when we are naming a champion. Bernardini, in my humble opinion may have already done more without beating older horses. |

i am also talking about Bobby's will to live off the track. That, plus his on track performance deserves my support as #1.

Thoroughbred horses are very fragile animals ... and are susceptible to serious leg injuries at any given time. Do you seriously believe that it's one of "life's tragedies" when it happens? |

I tend to see things of this nature like you do. I didnt get sad over Barbaro and i really dont miss a step when a horse gets injured at the track. I wouldnt get upset about the neighbor's dog dying. But at the same time, I try to be respectful to the people who feel diffferently. The only thing that gets me is that people think that Barbaro should be named champion because he got injured. If the neighbor's dog was killed and he was entered in a contest before he died, should he then automatically be named best in show? |

You know nothing of my personal life ... other than that I claim to be 63 years old. And wouldn't you think ... if you were capable of thought ... that someone who has lived for 63 years would have experienced at least one ... if not many ... personal tragedies? Shame on you for making so public your ignorance.. |

Sorry folks, but all that Bernardini needs to do is to win one more race or perhaps run 2nd in the JCGC and BCC and he is the 3year old champ. In fact, he has a chance to be horse of the year. If he wins both those races then he horse of the year. Barbaro will not win an award this year.
