Maybe. There are more question marks this year than last. The biggest one is the surface. The competition this year competes primarily on dirt and Blame has 3 wins out of 4 starts at Churchill, never been out of the money in 12 starts and a running style comparable to Zenyatta.
The JCGC is not a big blemish on his record considering the horse that won is now 5 for 6 on that surface.
I think the "love for Zenyatta" is more hype than it's made out to be and based on a few radicals on message boards and the guy in the white tank top.
