HOY : The Captain Or Bee A Magician ?

[Jeremy]

Ummmmmumum......think there is a poll selection awaiting revision!!!!!

FOILED AGAIN

you can only take 2013 into consideration for horse of the year

[MichiganDale]

In late October I suggested a tie, co-horses of the year...my thinking has changed. While I love watching the Magician and favor trotters I now favor Foiled Again.  The horse is a machine....just keeps on going.   9 years old and still winning with such gutsy performances against the top competition makes FA Horse of The Year in my eyes.

As great as Foiled Again is, it is BAM that is the only horse that can be horse of the year.

As great as Foiled Again is, it is BAM that is the only horse that can be horse of the year.

I like things that are objective, like 1st horse under the wire wins; not subjective, like voters' opinion. But HOY is a subjective endeavor so who knows how it will turn out.

3 reflections I have:

1. BAM is so much better than anything in her class that it's hard to see her light shine. She  is a monster.

2. The Captain has been good for the biz... brings excitement to every start.

3. FA is absolutely my kind of racehorse. 9 yo whoopin' up on everybody. Most certainly qualifies to be HOY.

The TVG finished with 9 horses under a blanket of 4/5 sec. Amazing

If you wanted to look at it objectively like when they have the driver of the year criteria, Bee A Magician is tied for 8th in total wins, 1st in UHRS and 2nd in earnings.

Foiled Again is the horse of the decade, but another horse in his division took two world records this year, and there was some talk that if Pet Rock won yesterday that he may be the older horse of the year.

I don't think I have seen a night of racing as awesome as the Meadowlands were last night!!!   If they had drivers of the year John Campbell and David Miller would have to tie!  Absolutely my favorite drivers EVER!!!  Altho I am not Burke Brigade fan, To keep the old war horse Foiled Again sharp to end of the year is just awesome!  That horse has such a desire to win he would crawl on his knees to cross the wire 1st.  Absolutely Love that horse!!  I don't think it matters who is HOTY.  it is a matter of favorites to the ones voting.  How could you separate BAM,  The Captian or FA for tha matter.  flip a coin or give all 3 of them HOTY.
