Nothing wrong with that, he is great..... I just dont love him for HOY. Honestly, if POE comes back and wins the BC Turf I give him older turf horse over Wise Dan, even if Wise Dan wins at Keeneland and then the Mile.

well, now.....

how do you reconcile this in your own head? do you really think that it makes sense? the horse does nothing but win. you say he's great, but in the same sentence hold 'he's a miler' against him. flat out is an enjoyable horse; he's also very much a belmont horse. i would see putting money on him for the jcgc, but i'd be hard pressed to use him away from belmont.
i think right now it's between wise dan and game on dude, but still racing left.

what i don't like is what chuck mentions, people using the bc to cast a vote, and not knowing a thing about the rest of the years races. some absolute head scratchers make the ballot.
