Horses don't run to their competiton.
If you put Zenyatta in with claimers ... she would bury them by a wide margin.
Both her and Life Is Sweet were against unfavorable paces in their preps - they both got more distance to work with, more pace to set them up, and their trainer had them both peaking at the right time.
Running to competition is sillyness. You don't have to bet very long to figure that out.
