Blame wins HOY. Sorry, Blame "should" win HOY. Zen's much better than I ever appreciated, but I don't think she deserves HOY b/c of her schedule.

Z

Even though Blame beat her, he doesn't feel like the HOY.

She does.

Ought to be interesting.

If there's an award for Horse of the Past Three Yrs, I'd vote 10000000000% for Zen.

He doesn't "feel" like the HOY? How does a HOY feel?

I think that is what this year's HOY vote will be, a Lifetime Achievement Award. I am ok with it either way, but that seems like a sure thing.

Blame doesn't have the same gravitas (fashionable word lately) that Curlin and Rachel did. Zenyatta earned more love and respect in defeat than Blame did in winning and she'll get the sympathetic votes. Therefore, it's probably Zenyatta.

HOY

The head says Blame.
The heart says Zenyatta.

Blame should be HOY, 4 G1s, one loss, BCC winner, beat Z. If Z would have come east more often this race may not has had as much meaning, but she didn't.

Having said that, I think they will vote Z HOY.

Agree with this - I think Blame SHOULD be HOY, but people may just end up voting with their hearts.

One thing to keep in mind is the year isn't over yet. There is a big race at Churchill, drawing a blank, and there is the NYRA Mile.
