Best Horse of 2006
Ok, so who was the best horse to race in the United States in 2006? I'm not asking who would get your vote for HOY. Many of u have certain standards that u want to see met in order for a horse to be HOY (ie wins in certain races, money earned, number of starts, etc). I understand and respect all of those opinions. But I was just thinking about what the Eclipse Awards actually state as their criteria and all it says is that u have to have at least one North American start to qualify. That's why we've seen so many European winners win our turf championships off of only one start here. It's why Arazi was one of the three finalists for HOY in 1991 off of only the Juvenile win here. So in that vein, I'd like to know simply what horse people think was the best horse to race in this country this year. Last year was an easy one as Ghostzapper was the clearly the best one even though he only ran once. Who is it this year? My vote goes to Discreet Cat.
