Should Goldikova be HOTY if she wins the BC Mile again?

Dumb question this early in the year.

But, the answer, not if that is all she wins here.

[Spalding No!]

If she's even being considered right now, it's because those people are taking into account her entire career, particularly a presumptive 4-straight BC Miles.

That's the same grotesque error most of the maniacal Zenyatta fans were guilty of last year.

Currently, she has all she can handle in Europe with Canford Cliffs and Frankel among others.

My prediction - she will not even run in the BC this year, and might not even make it through the year without retiring.

You heard it here first....unless, of course, she comes and win it again! :rolleyes:

not a big fan of a miler winning hoty, even less so with one race stateside.

I think all your options are going to be fillies/mares.

I think it's going to be between HDG, blind luck and goldy.
