I think he has many valid points, except for HVG. If you want to say that she was 0-2 this year at the 1 1/4 miles, I might buy that. But don't say she ONLY beat the boys once. She ran a real campaign this year and wasn't disgraced today. So if she ran in the Ladies Classic and won, she still only would have beaten the boys once, right? You want to punish them for going in to the big race? Her connections should be applauded for the way they ran her this year.

I think it's just a little west coast bias/wishful thinking from Vic. Just because the 2nd place horse in the Classic wrongfully won the award last year, doesn't necessarily mean it should happen again this year.
