We just see things differently. I'll just rock on in my non objective world where she is concerned and enjoy her.  |
Hardly. I think she is even better on dirt. That Apple Blossom was major. In a fairly run race on dirt, Zenyatta still beats Hystericalady. I don't doubt that for a second. But I also know that on dirt, HL doesn't stop like she does on sythetics and she's a top class mare that if allowed to get an easy lead through soft to moderate fractions, would be VERY hard to run down. It can be a dirt race with fair fractions or a pace battle and Zenyatta could probably beat HL by more than she did in the Lady's Secret. I'm only considering how that particular race played out though.
