Please understand, in the RA vs. Z war, I'm RA all the way. But Zenyatta's last two performances have really got me wondering if I jumped on the right bandwagon.

Yep, that stuff doesn't show up in the numbers.

I've been watching thoroughbred racing for fifty years.
Zenyatta is near to equalizing my fun and adulation of having watched Secretariat.
