First you asserted that "Zenyatta was probably a turf horse". You don't even sound convinced of that yourself. I guess you're saying if she WAS a turf horse, her connections are worthy of being held up as ducking "major turf races". Surely you could have found a better example of ducking than connections who ultimately ran a mare against males in two BC Classics. Your point and intent would have been stronger if you'd found a horse that was more a turf horse than "probably", and one whose connections had ducked a race in the past 8 years. But Zenyatta and her connections are still such popular targets...
