OK by me. And to be complete, layoffs could be relevant to HOY if you are laid off so long you can only make 3 or 4 races that year. In that case you are backing yourself into a corner.
But I don't get the excitement about RA laying off, for example. If she needs to wait until June to come back, then she does. As I said, that might make a 2010 HOY difficult, unless she came back ran lights out in some top tier races.
Zenyatta's problem was that she ran in only one race that anyone outside of insular CA racing fans cares about--and that one, like all the rest, was on plastic. It was just too limited a campaign.
By contrast, RA ran in several races that everybody cares about--the Oaks, the Preakness, the Haskell, the Woodward. Everybody knows these races.
And they are on dirt.
To me, that is pretty much all there was to this choice. The rest was hot air.
