I don't see any definitive candidates outside Beau Jangles, Louprint, Yo Tillie, and Miki And Minnie, and Lexus Kody will get some looks. I think those are the strongest candidates. Politically tough to give it to Beau Jangles, but politics aside, which you can't do, LOL, he should get it. Yes, we all know he didn't race in the US. But, he did show up to the big dances and beat the best in class on more than one occasion. Should he be punished that he did it north of the border? Should he be punished that the Metro and the BC were north of the border? I get it. Aside from that, it's rare for any 2yo to be named HOTY anyway.
