McKinzie leapfrogged Catholic Boy for me with the Malibu win. I think it's inarguable that beyond the Triple Crown winner he was the most talented sophomore.

The best 2-year-old filly is Newspaperofrecord. She would be my 3rd choice for HoY. I have seen plenty of Jaywalks and Monomoy Girls and Roy H's etc. Newspaperofrecord is why you watch, the time when every so often, a horse competes at an entirely different level from their peers. She might be my number 2 choice for HoY.

I am personally biased towards Newspaperofrecord, but I understand why Jaywalk is going to win, but I actually think this is probably the most compelling argument for Newspaper ( and, as much as I personally like Freddy, I rarely agree with him ). Horses like Newspaperofrecord are memorable in ways that most horses are not.

Best moments of 2018 in no particular order:
1. Army Mule's Carter 2. Newspaperofrecords BC 3. Discreet Lovers JCGC 4. TC 5. Enable BC 6. Catholic Boys BD To me, those were the best stories and horses of 2018 the rest is just bookkeeping. All the upcoming winners had wonderful years and I am sure mean the world to their respective connections, as they should.

I’ll probably be ridiculed for this being a weak opinion, but I’d say Imperial Hint’s win in the VANDERBILT ranks up there for me. May the laughing begiiiiiiin haha The way he powered down the stretch was an awesome thing to be watching. And although their second meeting cost me BEAUCOUP BUX, the Catholic Boy/Analyze It stretch battles were really entertaining.
