It's a tough call but the 2 wins, (1 v. 3yo restricted company), are just not enough in comparison to a complete January-November season which includes as high profile an International win as there is available. Arrogate can win his HOY in '17. Chrome deserves this nod, especially in light of how uncertain things were for him at the end of 2015.
