Overated / Underated... the anti-HOY Awards (so far...)

[Suffolk Shippers]

Over rated: I'm tempted to say Bernardini because of his loss today, but the fact remains this horse NEEDED to be challenged. For his sake, I'm sure they had hoped it happened in another race. If Bernardini takes the tracks again, he will be a better horse because of what happened today. With his talent and ability he will be a very good champion horse, but no super horse. The true over rated horse this year was Lava Man. Don't get me wrong, he is a great story and he is dominant in Cali, but outside his element he's not even average. They should have a match race anywhere but Cali between Lava Man and Funny Cide, just so FC can win one. I'd also throw Tagg's two year old in this, Nobizlike Showbiz or whatever the 'eff his name is.

Under rated: The Tin Man. Need I say more? Just keeps knocking at his age, winning the Arlington Million. You NEED to give credit there. Just a great game horse. Vastly under rated. Not saying he's a globe wide talent, but just a game fighter.
