I think who is going to win is different than who should win. If I had a vote, I would have voted for Blame.

Blame should win, but I'll be shocked if Zenyatta doesn't win HOY.

Blame should win and I have a really strong feeling that he will win HOY.

The ONLY one of my predictions that is wishful thinking is Champagne D'Oro as female sprinter. I'm pretty sure she won't win - it will most likely go to Dubai Majesty. I'm just wishin' for CD'O. I'm a sucker for any MD'O kid.

I think the margin of votes in Blame's favor will be much more than expected.

If Champagne wins, I'll riot.

I think there are too many who are afraid to vote against Zenyatta. The Zenyatta PR machine has been in full force all year, and they take no prisoners.
