This certainly makes the Derby a LOT more interesting and adds to the end of year questions.

I cant see California Chrome not being horse of the year. When its close tie goes to the derby winner, no?

thats true but i guess it depends on the true definition of horse of the year... kind of like an "MVP Award" is it just the flat out best horse by opinion or the Most Valuable to the sport... i.e. news worthy and story of the year... etc..

I think HOY is horse with best record, like Main Sequnce, 4 for 4 in Grade 1 races, hard to beat perfection!!!

That would be the only explanation for Zenyatta winning it over Blame.
