It is a huge accomplishment to win that many races in a row, especially with her running style. But in horseracing the strength of schedule and margin of victory are just as important. She can win the BC Classic and retire 20 for 20 and have her special place in history. But those believing that her overall racing record places her with the greats of the game just don't have a very good understanding of the history of the sport.

Yep, I understand this and it is a fair criticism. The term Zenyattaturd is such a generalization that I really don't know what it means anymore. Regardless of her competition I have seen enough of her to know she is a special horse, I said earlier this week there is still 1-5% of me that needs confirmation, and that's what brings us to the classic. Sheriffs and Moss have made their beds, if it comes down to one race to define her, win - lose that is what we have. Unfortunate as most horses throw in clunkers now and then, but it is what it is.
