For me this is the feel good story of the year, these connections and horse make it very easy for any racing fan to root for them.

You can certainly make a case and it is very sporting on Ice's part, but I think Rachel controls her own destiny as far as HOY goes. She'll most likely run twice more this year? If she wins both, the Woodward being one of them and perhaps the Beldame being the second, shes a lock to win this award. She already blasted Summer Bird in what will be their only head to head matchup and shares 1 triple crown race win with Summer Bird.
