If they had a filly sprint championship dont you think Safely kept would have won 3 times?
These 2 horses were a combined 39 for 52 with 49 in the money placing's, virtually all in graded stakes.
If these aren't hall of famers then the hall of fame shouldn't bother anymore.

We just have different ideas on what a hall of fame should look like. I don't want any horses in there that cause debate. I only want entries that are no-brainer choices for the vast majority. I want a horse that, if you have a room of 10 people and you go around the room and ask all for a yes or no vote, you get at least eight yes votes without hesitation. Not one that gets six yes votes, two no votes and two others that say they need to look at the horse's record real quick to make a decision. So it's just a difference of opinion on what should make a hall of famer.
