He won the Triple Crown undefeated after just starting his career as a 3 year old. His career started 2/18/2018 and he was the first horse to win the Kentucky Derby without starting as a 2 year old since 1882.

Re: Omaha. I'll also note that Discovery beat Omaha by ten lengths the one time the two horses met that year (Omaha finished third in that race). I'm sure that had something to do with Discovery being viewed as the best horse of 1935.

I figured that's what you meant but I guess it just isn't a deciding factor for me.

As it should have. The vote was pretty lopsided. Comparing the accomplishments of a 3 year old and an older horse is apples and oranges. That's what makes HOY unique. They are both outstanding and both got the awards they had coming.

Will Accelerate win his last race tomorrow? Maybe, but it's not a slam dunk.
