Classic winner, or whomever finishes ahead of whom, between Invasor, Bernardini and Lava Man is HOY.

No way Barbaro gets HOY. If 'Dini doesnt get it, Lava Man should. To me, each have already done more in their careers than the Derby winner...

The award will go to either Lava Man or Bernardini depending on who finishes ahead of who in the Classic.

We all love Barbaro, but it's probably Bernardini, Lava Man or maybe Invasor for HOY .... BCC will sort things out.

i agree that the classic will play a huge part. all 3 could finish up the track and that puts Barbaro back on top.

Do you honestly see a scenario where all 3 are out of the money?

What if Sun King wins the Classic? Or Perfect Drift? Do they get any consideration? Because you'd conceivably be putting all the major contendors for HOY in the same race. So if Sun King were to come out on top... would you give him HOY?

maybe not out of the money, but more like not in first place. my choice is Barbaro for HOY...he did a lot, was injured. could have done a lot more.

why hold the injury against Barbaro ? i don't, that's why he's my HOY.

Barbaro is probably out of HOY running and his only shot for 3yo champ if for Bernardini to run up the track in the Classic.

If Lava Man wins the Classic hes horse of the year. That being said I dont think he stands a chance, hes still had a hell of a year out on the West Coast. I do think hes a cut below Bernardini, however I think hes on par with Invasor.
