I think by an overwhelming majority, the fans would have rather seen her in the Classic than in the Distaff.
Getting back to your earlier question, I don't just want to see her race any males. I wanted to see her take on the best. A lot of people make a big deal out of Personal Ensign beating the boys. I don't. I mean, it was Gulch and King's Swan. I respect Gulch but beating him at 9f at that stage of his career wasn't an overwhelming accomplishment. And it was a three horse field. If I could have known in advance that for sure they'd bring Zenyatta back next year and they'd try her against the males and the males are Mast Track and Two Step Salsa and some of those other second rate horses out here in Cali, don't bother.

So you think the horse is in her stall stomping around since she didn't get a shot at the Classic? She was absolutely placed in the race she belonged in the most. She beat Cocoa Beach by around a length. That seems to be forgotten around here.
I think you need to brush up on the merits of Gulch and King's Swan....and compare them to the mediocrities mascarading as Grade 1 horses these days. In any way comparing them to Two Step Salsa and Mast Track is grossly unfair.
Now, I'm going to get back to stomping around MY stall.
