![]() 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..

![]() From DRF's Toronto man Ron Gierkink..
Lexie Lou vs. California Chrome The possibility of this year's Queen's Plate winner Lexie Lou meeting this year's Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby on the grass at Del Mar Nov. 29 would be a rare matchup between the winners of these two prestigious events. Woodbine's crack media office staff has determined that the last time the winners of these two races met was in the Grade 1 Woodward at Saratoga in 2006, when '05 Plate winner Wild Desert wound up sixth, ahead of '03 derby winner Funny Cide. Perhaps the most famous such meeting came in 1998, when Awesome Again, the '97 Plate winner, outran '97 Derby winner Silver Charm to take the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill. Trainer Mark Casse said he has Corey Nakatani lined up to ride Lexie Lou in either the Hollywood Derby or against older females in the Grade 1 Matriarch Nov. 30 at Del Mar.

If I had a gun to my head though, even though I know Shared Belief is the better horse, I'd probably give it to Chrome. Bayern, he's had too many crappy starts, and was gifted the BCC. Remember, I like that horse too, as he was my Derby pick after Shared Belief went down. |
