![]() Didn't Best Pal take the 93 Hollywood Gold Cup as well? And the 95 San Antonio? I'd give it to Best Pal...Point Given didn't race long enough....Tiznow might deserve it as well....But I want to see Best Pal get this

![]() Totally off topic, but how are Point Given, Best Pal, and Tiznow up for the Hall of Fame while Black Tie Affair will never get consideration in about 1,832 years?

All in all, Silverbulletday's final seven losses came either to males or older females in graded stakes races. I've personally believed she was overrated for quite some time, but the two she's up against might not be enough to keep her from getting into the Hall. NT |

The three times Sky Beauty was not more than 0.40-to-1 outside of age restricted races - she got wholloped each time as well. Sillverbulletday didn't win those good races against older - but she ran quite fast in all but one of them. Her Beyers of 109 and 110 in defeat look pretty good when you consider Azeri only twice reached those levels. Silverbullletday won the Alabama by 9 lengths with a 115 Beyer. Sky Beauty got just a 98 Beyer in her Alabama win by comparison. Silverbulletday won 11 straight Graded Stake races against members of her own sex - and ran a triple digit Beyer in each one. She also shipped well ... which is why I think she gets the slight nod. |

![]() are they voting in horses and folks at this point just to have entries into the hall of fame each year? they're possibly not worthy, but hell, we need to have a ceremony?

She was 0.35-to-1 against Inside Information that day ... her 14-for-14 lifetime record at Belmont Park had a lot to do with that no doubt. |

![]() Best Pal is long overdue to get in, just as Manila was last year. He was a Grade I winner at 2, 3, 4, and 5. Who's the last horse to have accomplished that feat? I still vividly remember him winning the inaugural Pacific Classic as a 3YO, defeating Twilight Agenda, Unbridled and others.

![]() The HOF has been suspect at best. From constantly changing-up the nomination and voting policies, to allowing some very questionable talent in, it seems to have lost its punch versus what the HOF means in other sports.
I respect and truly enjoy steeplechase racing, but when they toss in three or four every other year or whatever it is, it seems lopsided when you compare # of t-breds versus steeplechase horses, and their respective participants. |
