Horse of the Year
Say Big Brown does win the Belmont, becomes the first TC winner in 30 years, and (obviously) immediately retires to Three Chimneys. Say Curlin stays in training for the rest of the year, wins another race overseas and then say, a second BC Classic and becomes the leading money earner of all time.
I don't know about anyone else, but I will be extremely urked/pissed if Big Brown gets HOY. Pity if his owners ideals about taking advantage of Curlin's potential to showcase Kentucky and our horse racing get overshadowed by a brilliant 3YO who goes straight to the shed...
