You are from New England?

That does it, I'm going back to Cali.

The article doesn't state if Shirreffs was asked if Zenyatta was deserving of HOY. I'll bet he was. Was he supposed to have said, "NO"?

"The voting Turf Writers Assn. of America has a big responsibility here. If it accepts the argument that whichever horse wins the Breeders' Cup Classic is horse of the year, then it confirms that racing will always be a good-old-boy network, with the only thing that matters is what comes from, and happens, east of the Mississippi.

A vote that way also says that there isn't even consistency in the bias, since last year's Breeders' Cup Classic was won by Zenyatta, and she was second to Eastern horse Rachel Alexandra in the horse-of-the-year voting.

A vote for Zenyatta indicates recognition of her racing results and the positive intangibles she gave her sport."


oh boy...
