Since Tanis is once again on the ballot for HOF (thank you) and it was pointed out that people are/were unaware of her awesomeness, I have summed up her fabulous career for the voters.
Tanis (22 YO Appaloosa mare): 23:18-3-1, earned $848,500 on the racetrack. She won the Simmy for 2 YO female, Simmy 3 YO female, and the Simmy older female. Won the SC three years, 3rd in a 4th SC before retiring. Winner of 14 stakes races (excluding SC wins, total of 17 stakes wins), undefeated in her first 9 starts.

Re: HOF voting
Even though my guy Lion's Song was in the same category - I voted for Tanis. She ran at a time when it was so much harder to make the big bucks and she excelled at pretty much everything she took on. Hope she gets in for you this time, Leigh Ann.

Re: HOF voting
Thanks Lori. I just want everyone who votes to LOOK at the horses instead of saying "oh I recognize that name." To be honest, Special Dynamite may be the strongest contender IMO, but I do love me some Lion's Song.Lori Hamill wrote: ↑4 years ago Even though my guy Lion's Song was in the same category - I voted for Tanis.

Re: HOF voting
And a big thank you to everyone who voted for Tanis. I promise I won't harp on another of my horses anytime soon (probably).
