Is Acclamation the Horse of the Year?

After Breeders' Cup chaos, maybe it is Acclamation who could be the big winner...Read More

likin sparks · I was looking at the possibilities about 3 hours ago and I chose Acclamation he really got into a groove and shame we didn't get to see him in the BC. Rapid is awesome but since he doesn't race in the stakes they'll probably overlook him, shame. · 205 days ago ·

stevebiscuit · Acclamation is the obvious choice for Horse of the Year. He is tied with Havre De Grace in Grade 1 wins. The tie breaker? All of his were against open company plus he also had two grade 2 wins. Winning the Pacific Classic proved that he was not only the top turf horse, but the top older male as well after setting a new track record. Had Havre De Grace won the Classic I'd give it to her no question. But she got beat fair and square by a suspect group of horses. If we're going by the facts, Acclamation had the better year. He is your 2011 Horse of the Year! · 205 days ago ·

Winplacsho · My vote would be with Game on Dude. I know Acclimation beat him in the Pacific Classic, but he's a 2 time Grade 1 winner on dirt, 2nd in the Classic & the Hollywood Gold Cup. Even though Acclimation beat him head to head, it was only poly & I just think Game on Dude's total body of work is better. · 204 days ago ·

Mary Z. · No, I changed my mind today. He should not be an accidental HOTY. His year doesn't seem to have been planned out with year end honors as a goal from the beginning of the year. More like trying different options, some which were inappropriate for him, in order to achieve some measure of success as he had fallen into somewhat of a bad slump before starting his win streak in May. The experimentation continued after the streak began with the gr.1 9f. Read instead of the perhaps more fitting in length but lower grade Sunset, and the synthetic risk that paid off in the PC. But he had all of his turf wins in CA which has lower purses which do not attract top nationwide competition, and he did not make a BC appearance. So, in 2012 he can go after top turf male/HOTY from the start, which that goal stated as the intention. And he can embark on a campaign in which he takes on the best. If that means the streak ends, fine, as long as he is challenged at top level so there are no questions as to the quality he faced. HDG year was planned with top older female honors and then HOTY as goals. She didn't duck top competition. I thought of the Obeah as a Del Cap prep, maybe others don't. She was not disgraced in her BC appearance. I'd be happy if she won and I could not enjoy anything but very temporary happiness over Acclamation winning because truly, he left too many questions this year. I will love watching his speed that lasts 9,10, 11, and 12f. this coming year, if we are all lucky enough and he is still running.. · 203 days ago ·
