Oy vey - this is a complete joke. The fact that HOY judging procedures have to be debated (more accomplished on the track or more popular off it) really has rendered the award as absolutely meaningless

Totally agree the old bird has no merit. Horses have won the BC Classic and havent won the award and some have won 3 races in one year including the Classic and have gotten the award. Really she wouldnt know a good horse if it hit her in the head. It is a totally meaningless award in the grand scheme of things.....Congress people have got shot in the head and U.S soilders are dying everyday and people are worried about an animal with a worthless award that does nothing to better the lives of Americans.....shame on em all.
