They would not say I didn't necessarily make some fair points....but that my argument in its entirity was unsound and I was only making it because Nick is my close friend.

They would be right.

For the internet record....this was analogy....I don't believe what I was suggesting. Todd and Jerry Hollendorfer were the only two deserving candidates.

I'm just a little confused Andy, are you implying that Ramon just didn't have the stock? God knows he had the numbers, and plenty of backing. I also thought this trainer category was completely skewed, Baffert and Shirreffs had no business being nominated, I would have put Hollendorfer and Mott for the record, both won major races, but yeah, how could you deny Pletcher with a Derby and 3 Breeders Cup races? I'm not trying to be difficult, just not sure what the analogy is, I guess I don't see this big advantage that Garrett apparently is supposed to have over Ramon, where and when, and from whom?
