No denying Max, Sec. 3 yr. old Horse of Year.

Omar received some more sour grapes last night when Maximum Security won an Eclipse Award for 3 year Horse of the Year. Not sure what the vote final tally was but the first place votes were overwhelming for Max. verses Code of Honor 217 to 8. These votes come from those within the field of racing to include sports writers. Now that's a broad spectrum of different opinions and analysis.

Yes some vindication for his KY. Derby DQ however I still think he was the best horse who was mugged on that day of a by a decision that isn't apply on an everyday basis in the sport of horseracing.

Additionally some vindication for those of us who think this is a great horse. We don't hold against the horse what the owner does or says. BTW if he wants to take that to court etc. that's his right to do so.

This link is an article reference his HUGE award for 3 yr. old HOY: Huge because the foaling was probably around 25,000 and only one horse receives this award or wins the Derby. BIG accomplishment!! Much more than beating a field of 12.

As the 2020 year and growing season is upon us I would like to wish OMAR and everyone for that matter fresh grapes and many winners.

Onward,
