What other horse in the last 20 years has drawn the crowds that she does in non-classic or BC events? The longer she runs, the better it could be for racing.

call me crazy, but i'd rather see top horses face off then have one horse taking on a bunch of nothings. yesterday was her first face off with a gr 1 winner. her owners thought before yesterday that she merited hoy consideration- i find that laughable. the best two races this year were when blame met quality road, and yesterdays classic. zenyatta should have broken new ground this year-she should have been in the big cap, the pac classic.
and smarty jones drew more fans to oaklawn to watch him run the belmont on tv than has showed at zenyattas races this year.
