She is no doubt custom made for ten panels. But she really did have a good run through the pack in that all the holes opened-up when she needed them. Yeah, she had to go and get them a bit, but she's good and that's what good ones do.
This whole HOTY debate is tough because people think you're knocking one or the other, which isn't the case at all.
Zenyatta was awesome on Saturday and it really saddens me we couldn't see her do that in a few more exciting spots. And unfortunately for them, and this is not a slap on their character at all, but I think it costs her Horse of the Year in the end. We'll see.
