We'll see if I'm right.
Looks right to me, considering how much importance many voters place on Breeders' Cup results. Too bad, as horses like Sassy Image (Female Sprinter) and Dubawi Heights (Female Turf) had better overall campaigns than the Breeders' Cup bombs.
ReplyDeleteSassy Image lost any chance when Musical Romance won since she was a big bomb. I don't think will even be Drosselmeyer since his two wins won't be enough IMO. People are joking that Rapid Redux is HOY, but there is no way that they give it to a horse whose running against basically bottom of the barrel claimers. Claimer of the Year yes, but HOY? No.
