Plenty of times in racing, the result is not as clear cut as it may seem at first glance.
In this particular case, you seem to be taking the defensive, as if I'm saying that Hystericalady is a better horse than Zenyatta is when I'm clearly not saying that at all. But I've seen way too many situations where an inferior horse is allowed total control of a race and beats a superior one. I believe that had the Lady's Secret been on dirt, that would have been the case this year. It has nothing to do with how good I think Zenyatta is.

There is nothing in this exchange that would put me on the defensive, KG. Simply a difference of opinion. If you wish to believe the results would have been different in the LS had it been run on dirt, please go ahead and indulge yourself. I think you are seriously underestimating how powerful Zenyatta is on the dirt. True, she's run on it once, but what a race that was. Lord have mercy. I don't doubt what you think of her, KG. We just see things differently. I'll just rock on in my non objective world where she is concerned and enjoy her.
