I think Zenyatta is the single most overhyped entity I have ever encountered in my life.

I thought the same thing. The funny thing is the answers are very similar to things many of us have said about her this year, yet we're labeled 'Zenyatta haters'.

I agree. She's a really nice mare and definately one of the best fillies or mares to run in my lifetime. Its a shame I've allowed myself to not care so much about her because of a few posters.

No it is not wrong,it is spot on.And Rachel has nothing to do with this.

It may convert a lot of the new eyes however I fear alot of folks will lose a lot of money they don't have on her which will have the opposite affect. Just my 2 dimes.

Doubtful

BC I...........rating 5.1 (highest)
BC XXVI ....rating 0.6 (lowest)

There is also the money issue. None of those left coast f & m races has a purse of more than 300K. Why would an eastern dirt mare ship there to run on a plastic surface for a 150-180 K pot? :zz:

Eastern f & m purses...Phipps...300K, Lady's Secret (one time only)...400K, Ruffian...250K, Del Cap....750 K, PE...300K, Beldame...350K

Wow, you have a short memory

Might have to bump a few of those old RA threads and articles from last fall and winter

Talk about overhyping…

The RA hype is stomped into dust by the Zenyatta hype, and it's not debatable.

Yes, I will give you that, that RA was massively overhyped. I said it back then as well.

The Zenyatta hype though, it moves like a tremendous machine.

That's because there are less reasons to hype her this yr, it's not even comparable to last year, if my memory is correct I was the only one that even dared to critique her record, and as silly as it sounded at the time to some, she was overhyped and yes I will include the same Sentiment to those that are premature in their declarations of Zenyatta being the greatest before Sat's race. Something I have never said BTW.

You're out of your mind. The Zenyatta hype is unlike anything I've seen in my lifetime.

Your memory needs some refreshing then. Ie. Post Woodward threads 2009. The ironic thing is if she had retired, she would be the one being mentioned alongside of some of the greats of the game right now.
