If you are going to elect Smarty jones and company you better go back and reevaluate these horses

I think to some degree you're knocking Best Pal for continuing to run way beyond his prime.
On paper, he was one of the most accomplished 2yos of recent memory and he was definitely in a zone as a 4yo in an abbreviated season.
That said, I don't think he should be in the HOF if some of the others you mentioned aren't.
