He must be the best horsey ever.

He lost way too many races as a 2YO, whether he was best in them or not, and while he won some big races, and was a very good horse ( better, in fact, than the greatest horse ever, Big Brown ), he had an injury shortened career. He never faced olders.

Next.

yeah, that's true.
but i think we'll continue to see horses that probably don't belong in there-because what alternative is there, other than to see none inducted in future? i don't even get much excitement at the thought of tiznow going in-he had his moments, but he doesn't have an overwhelming career.
isn't that what they should have?
