Singspiel was named turf champion in 1996 even though he never won a race in this country. As long as the only criteria is that a horse must have started at least once in North America, if Sea the Stars were to come over and win, he'd get my vote. If you think Rachel is the best horse, then vote for her. But to me, it would be stupid if you believe that Sea the Stars is the best, that you would not vote for a horse that is qualified.

i'd have to go back and look at the other candidates for the years mentioned, but i think euros generally only get more attention in years when we don't have viable candidates for hoy. this year is far from that scenario.
as for people talking about zenyatta in the classic, don't get your hopes up. and as for beating 'the birds', mine that bird hasn't won since may-just how good is he really, when he's yet to back up what is looking more and more like a fluke win? and beating summer bird and mine that bird puts you on par with rachel, not ahead of her.
