Coming as no surprise whatsoever, Texasace’s magnificent Horseshoe Bay enters the Hall immediately in his first year of balloting.\u00a0\u00a0Known as “Bay Bay” for short, many\u00a0recognize this great titan of the turf’s\u00a0career\u00a0as\u00a0the best-ever in the game’s history.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No one can forget “Bay Bay” breaking Sunnybank Memorial’s\u00a0consecutive Grade 1\u00a0victory streak in 2005.\u00a0\u00a0 Then a sophomore, Horseshoe Bay counted the Derby de English amongst his\u00a0electrifying win streak, bettering his predecessor’s record to\u00a06-in-a-row.\u00a0\u00a0 Horseshoe Bay would go on to collect the first of what would be two\u00a0consecutive Breeders Bowl Turf\u00a0trophies that season, claiming Sim Eclipse Awards titles as well as the coveted 2005 Sim Horse of The Year prize.\u00a0 \u00a0He dominated the Long Turf Division as an older horse at ages 4 and 5 too, winning the Turf Horse title again in 2006.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Horseshoe Bay\u00a0retired\u00a0last December with $10.5 million in\u00a0lifetime earnings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
