"She's still got another year ahead of her," said Jones. "We'll keep her in Kentucky for a little bit then send her down to the farm in Florida for six weeks, after which she'll rejoin our barn this winter at the Fair Grounds."*>>

Really? That's all kinds of awesome. I could've sworn she and Blind Luck were both going to auction. Maybe with all the ones who are, I just threw her in there in my head. Weird.

You probably just wanted one more face-off between Blind Luck and HDG and figured the only option left was seeing who brought more in the ring.

I'm glad HDG is back next year, too.

Game on Dude as HOY? That's about as likely as And They're Off winning an Oscar for Best Picture.

I have no idea what the criteria is as far as needing to run classic distance. I would say Caleb's Posse.

I agree with this. 10-5-1-1. Two G1's, a G2 and a G3, wins from 6F to 1 1/16. In a year where no one stood out, his resume looks better than the rest.

If Uncle No opted to go in the Mile where he had more of a shot to win, then he could be in the running for it

If you believe that then Caleb's Posse should be a lock.

Based on a win in a made up stake and the Kelso?

I think that Repole would of went on an all out campaign for HOY. I mean HOY doesnt mean best horse of the year, just look at what happened to Blame last year
