Can we blame Michelle Boniface for the historical perspective that led to the "greatest filly of all time" designation? Or did the CBS producers opt for that?
We need a drinking game. Every time they call her the greatest (including ads for the show) do a shot. When they show footage of her dancing, drink. When someone goes to snuggle with Zenyatta or kisses her on the nose, keep drinking til they stop. If anybody implies or expressly states she might be greater than Secretariat, drink everything you've got.
I want to watch and enjoy Zenyatta, but I'm concerned about the risk of diabetic coma. Might need to tape it, then watch after the Classic. If she wins, it makes the piece feel less saccharine. If she loses, it's bittersweet but still great that racing got the press.
