Commentator
Was thinking about resumes for the year, can Commentator possibly steal Horse of the Year if they run him in the Classic and he wins?
[hypothetical] Commentator: NTR GP 1 mile 1:33 3/5, Richter Scale (G2), 2nd Met Mile (G1), Whitney (G1), Mass Cap, [BC Classic (G1)] Curlin: some G3 in UAE, Dubai WC (G1), Stephen Foster (G1), 2nd Man o War (G1), Woodward (G1), [JCGC (G1)], [2nd BC Classic (G1)] Big Brown: Florida Derby (G1), Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1), Belmont debacle, Haskell (G1), Monmouth Stakes, [2nd BC Classic (G1)] Zenyatta: Apple Blossom (G1), Vanity H. (G1), El Encino S. (G2), Milady H. (G2), Clement L. Hirsch H. (G2), [Lady's Secret (G1)], [BC Distaff (G1)] I don't normally get too jazzed up for the Eclipse Awards but I'd be over the moon if Commentator won HOTY. |

I don't understand why people think there's any chance that Commentator runs in the classic. . .

"Commentator has trained over synthetic tracks at Keeneland and he loves them," Farmer said. "To me, the fact that the Breeders' Cup is being run on a synthetic surface is a plus for him." |

I LOVE Commentator, but a mile and a quarter just seems a tad too far. Nice to see him rate in the MassCap. He's never been better.

Distance has never mattered for Commentator, it is how much pace pressure he is under and at 10 furlongs he should get a nice pace setup. |

Thanks for posting the 'resumes', Phil.. All 4 are impressive and each deserves consideration for HOY based on their accomplishments this year. Looks like the BC will definately determine who gets it.

Commentator could absolutely be HOY with a win in the Classic.
If Curlin, BB, Commentator, and Zenyatta got in the gate, the winner gets HOY. Of course, that showdown won't happen, but it would certainly be interesting. |

Curlin's dubai races shouldnt count.
