I agree with you that MTB is not the same horse right now. You get no argument from me there. But I don't know how you come to the conclusion that Zenyatta would not be a great horse on the dirt. She ran once on the dirt and she ran great. She blew Ginger Punch off the track in the Apple Blossom. She ran really fast that day too. The Oaklawn Handicap was that same day and she ran faster than the boys did in the Oaklawn Handicap. The Oaklawn Handicap had a strong field that year too. Macho Again would have been 25-1 in that race and would have had no shot of hitting the board.
