Gio Ponti or Lookin At Lucky in the Hall of Fame?

If Point Given can get in, does it really matter if any horse ever gets in? I mean its a joke.

How is Point Given getting in a joke?

Are you ****ing serious? There was a whole thread about this when you were in the bathroom for 4 months.

If someone said Point Given was the best 3-year-old from 2010 going all the way back to Holy Bull ... I wouldn't even attempt to argue.
He was not a joke. |

He did not do enough to be in the Hall of Fame. Not even close. I'm losing respect for you thinking he belongs.

He's arguably the best 3yo since Holy Bull. He won the Travers with a 117 Beyer wearing a bar shoe in his final lifetime start.. that to complete a four race sweep of the Preakness, Belmont, Haskell, and Travers.
He wasn't exactly a bad 2yo either ... he missed winning the BC Juvie by a nose despite being 14th and last on the turn. He went by good 2yo's like they were standing still. Macho Uno and Street Cry, the 1st and 3rd place finishers of that race .. were very good 2yos. You think Lookin At Lucky was better? |

Did Curlin do enough for you?

Yes. Older seasons matter. And winning the BC Classic on dirt against older matters. Last I looked, show me Point Given's win against older? Or should Landaluce be in the Hall...I mean she was 5 for 5.

And you act as if you should give bonus points to the horse for being a cripple, aka beating Burning Roma by a neck at Monmouth and winning another race with a bar shoe. I like my horses sound. They don't get bonus points for winning hurt. That;s harness racing.

Corinthian won the Dirt Mile the day before with a 119 Beyer in blowout fashion for his final lifetime race ... that was the first year of the watered down Breeders Cup Program. I'm not saying Curlin won't get in or isn't deserving ... but Point Given had a better 2yo season and better 3yo season ... it's not Curlin's 4yo season was utterly spectacular either. After retirements by Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday, Corinthian, and Street Sense .. who was left besides him? |

I can't help you if you don't want to help yourself. Even my arch enemy thinks Point Given in the Hall is laughable. Get a grip.

Point Given would have laughed at Curlin as he was running away from him.

What's laughable is that so many jockeys and trainers are in .. there should be about five or six of each per century. You can't name a single horse in the last 15 years who was unquestionably better than Point Given as a 3-year-old .... I can name about 50 3yo's over that span who were much better than Lookin At Lucky. |

Gio's 1000x more deserving and he's not even remotely deserving.

Neither of them deserve it right now, but even though I dislike Gio, I 100% agree with this.
