@@bandovreal22 Uh no EQ will get it, he has a better record for champion 3yr old male than Medina does. EQ won all but 2 races in his 3yr old year, with wins coming in the Southwest Stakes, Blue Grass Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Jim Dandy Stakes and Travers Stakes. Medina Spirit had a break between May and August, and he only won the Robert B. Lewis Stakes, KY Derby, Shared Belief Stakes & Awesome Again Stakes (beating weak fields in 3 of his 4 wins). Medina also only ever won races when he was loose on the lead the whole race, he couldn't win unless he had the lead or was pressured (as shown in the Preakness). Beating another horse or not isn't even really considered in the voting bc it all comes down to the horse's record for the year. EQ won more prestigious races than Medina Spirit did this year, and it'd probably place a very negative light on the sport rn if they were to give the award to Medina Spirit, when his Derby win isn't even official yet

Horse of the year is settled. But 3 year old horse of the year has heated up more. Would Medina Spirit be in the running even if he is more than likely more than likely to be dq'ed as the KY. Derby winner? Would it matter if each times he has faced EQ and HRC that he beat them? To be continued.

@montanamountaingarden476 2 жыл бұрын

Medina isn't likely to get the 3yr old honors for the fact that you mentioned, it would shed a very negative light on the sport due to the fact that his Derby win is still under scrutiny. Medina also has beaten very weak fields in his other 3 wins this year, while EQ and HRC both ran against top quality fields all year and dominated them. A horse beating other horses doesn't really factor in here bc it's more about the individual's overall record on the year. If HRC and EQ had embarrassed themselves in the Classic and completely not run at all, then maybe Medina being champion 3yr old would be more realistic. But bc EQ and HRC both put in strong efforts to be third and fourth, they likely still outshine Medina for the honors. EQ has also won more prestigious races this year than Medina did. Medina only won the KY Derby, while EQ won both the Belmont and the Travers
