Yeah, I'm sure he'll get it barring injury but that barring injury is a big part of it. We've had 3 of the last 4 HOYs come back the following year and the first two were retired with injuries before the end of June. The one who did retire wound up breaking down on a stud farm. Not the best track record going right now.
