Caleb's Posse enters the Horse of the Year debate

I normally stay out of these kind of discussions but listening and reading all the stuff on who should be the horse of the year based on all the what ifs and what might have been's, it is clear to me that Caleb's Posse has the clear cut edge on the honors.

His record has had its up and downs for sure, but he has won four graded events at four different distances (mile, two sprints and a mile and sixteenth), all his wins have had Beyer's over 100 and took down top horses in each event. Those victories have come at three different tracks, and has shown versatility and the ability to win the big ones.

While not a dominating horse, but one that has shown determination to come back and win, no matter the distance, grade level or track. That makes him Horse of the Year in my book.

Window Boy in the 8th at Parx Today - Analysis

In the 8th race at Parx is 2YO allowance race for non winners of one other than maiden, claiming or starter, or Pennsylvania bred not winning two. It’s going a mile on dirt for a purse of $47,000, field of six.

For me there is only one contender in this race and it’s the #6 Window Boy at a ML of 7/2. Not a ton of value but should love going the extra distance, breeding say’s so, and looks primed to find the winner circle right back. Nice Beyer of 66 on his second effort, two key races also here. The place horse went out to break his maiden next outing and Mr. Bowling repeated a winning effort. John Servis has a good record with winners last out (21%) and he keeps Arroyo on board. The #1 will go to the lead, but I believe Window Bay to be faster and can easily overhaul him, and getting 4 pound weight break only helps.
