It's not a counterpoint to what Zenyatta did, it's a counterpoint to the implication that we don't fully appreciate everything that she is by saying RA's year was worthy of HOY. It's absolutely ridiculous to be down on either horse. It's like asking someone if they'd rather have the wealth of Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. Zenyatta is magic. I still wouldn't give her the trophy over RA.
I think this is a good post. It might end up RA got horse of the year but Zenyatta gets the better horse label when the career is over.
