More Reasons Why
With a total of 16 HoTY wins in his three year career, Speak Easy was a huge force to reckon with in the classic dirt colts category. His two year old season was undoubtedly his worst, however he managed to win, place, and show in many races including a second in the HoTY-heavy Breeder's Cup Juvenile. Sonny's three year old season was marked by improvements, including a win in the Kentucky Derby against the likes of Baciami, Ultimate Revenge, Saintly Touch and Dancing Fool. Following his TC run, Sonny was a solid competitor in all of his races against older horses. His 4yo season was uncontestedly the best he had, only placing out of the money once and only raced in one undercard. All 9 of his wins were of HoTY quality and he topped his season off with a win in the Breeder's Cup Classic, one of the most prestigious races in North America.

I'm sorry hon I'm voting no for him. He had an amazing four year old season, no doubt, but I don't think his record is strong enough as a 2 and 3 year old in HOTY wins to push enough consistency for HOF. Competition and superstars are gaining huge ground of late, he's an amazing boy and I adore him, but in my opinion I think he's just not quite there for HOF.

Cruisey I love Speak Easy he's a charm. Yes he's an incredible horse with high standards and he's won some good races but not enough for the title. Sorry Cruisey he is awesome though.
