The hall of fame is a seriously flawed HOF when compared to other sports. Whether SBD or Sky Beauty is better should be immaterial. They should be compared to the hall of fame standard which both certainly exceed. The process which puts in jockeys that are still riding seems silly especially since virtually every NY or CA jockey eligible with any standing is elected. Not to mention the annual steeplechase elections. The real tests which will likely make induction to the HOF as a horse a virtual travesty is when the Barbaros and Smarty Jones' of the world are put in despite having inferior credentials to virtually everyone else elected in history.
