I think winning the Whitney by 5 is beating up the the boys.

Apparently, you forgot that the statement you made was beating up on them ALL YEAR. Beating up on them in one race is not beating up on them all year. At least I don't think so. I'm no expert though so I could be wrong.

She was, but that alone is a KNOCK OUT

Ok. If beating up on them all year is winning one race and losing the rest, I stand corrected. And I'd like to officially change my selection for 3yo champion to Da Tara since, according to this way of thinking, he beat up on the 3yo division all year.

I agree Da Tara for 3yo champ and HOY!!! Cuz he went 10 for 15 this year and won 8 grade 1s just like the Iron Lady!

Lets just go back to your original post where you lumped Lady's Secret in with Azeri who never stepped out of her division. Just calling the comparison to her and the latter 2 ludicris. She actually stepped out of her division and showed up every time.
All Zenyatta had to do was run third in the classic and shes HOY.

If you bothered to read what I said, it was that Lady's Secret, like Azeri, only got HOY because no older male router on dirt stepped up and cemented the award. In no way did I compare the two as horses or compare the seasons they had. The same will be true of Zenyatta if she wins it this year. If Curlin had won the BC Classic, there would be no discussion. But because he didn't, the door is opened for her to win it. This is exactly how Lady's Secret won.
