The thing is, if she runs in the 2002 BC Classic, she has a very good shot at winning. She was in peak form at that point and that was a pretty weak BC Classic. Instead, they wait until she is past her peak and throw her to the wolves against Ghostzapper and Rosesinmay.
Still, I think Zenyatta is a better mare. I think the dirt/synthetic thing is way overblown with this one. Chuck, is there a horse out there right now besides Quality Road that you would bet even money on against her in a full field 10f race on dirt?
