Now some want to give her the award because they also want to count races from other years for HOY 2010 
That the JCGC counts as much as the BC Classic
That a head victory doesn't really count - I guess you have to win by open lengths
That restricted Grade I's are as important as open Grade I's
And Zenyatta should be given HOY because she had too much dirt kicked in her face. Yeah, that's convincing. |
All good points. Since only wins by open lengths count, I suppose we can really only count Zenyatta's Apple Blossom... Maybe Quality Road should be HOY after all!
