If Zenyatta comes east for the Beldame and beats Rachel and then goes on to win the Breeder's Cup Classic, wouldn't she have to be horse of the year? Not likely to happen (I know) but as great as today is for racing, it cannot possibly have definatively settled the horse of the year question.

In addition to totally dominating her division, she has defeated last year's Belmont winner, and the winners of this year's Derby, Belmont, Travers, Whitney, and Foster, New Orleans, and Oaklawn Handicaps. What more can we ask of her? She has beaten everything in her path this year.
