Why does it matter what races she runs in?? Obviously it must matter as there are about 8 million threads on it. I can't defend what races she runs in with any logic. I can defend the backhanded slam that she's only run 18 races in 4 years of running with complete logic. That is false and I simply stated it. I was correcting something that was stated as an obvious slam toward her.

Would it not be fair to say this is her fourth season of running? I think it would.

Yes, absolutely. Her 4 seasons of running have taken place in a 2 year and 9 month time frame. You just have to acknowledge that 2 seasons of running in the sport can certainly take place in a 2 day period as well. It certainly allows for liberal interpretations of time. So, yes, I'm 100 percent defeated, Zenyatta has run for 4 seasons. ( I best go back to making an idiot of myself on the sporty threads!)

Ghostzapper won a total of 9 races in 4 seasons of racing. If you want to be consistent, is this also not true?

And Ghostzapper's schedule also sucked, but that was because he was an exceptionally fragile animal. Ghostzapper is like 10 today and I'm pretty sure he could come out of retirement and at least finish top three in the Breeders Cup Classic this year.
