While it's pretty obvious that there is a strong debate over who is that arguable best horse along with Big Brown and the candidates (Denis of Cork, Casino Drive, and Giant Moon) are all worthy.......getting a little serious, it's kind of a shame that Colonel John is being overlooked. If he were able to win the Classic, it would give him a strong hand for the award. In many other years, a horse that would have wins in the SA Derby, Travers, and BC Classic would get serious consideration. It's just too bad for him that the BC and SA Derby are both on synthetics and also that both are in California. He would be 1-1 with Big Brown and although he would trail him 4-3 in grade ones, and 2-0 in classic wins, the Travers is often considered a fourth classic race and the BC would be over a world-class field of older horses. Just a thought.
