There have been very few American turf mares to beat boys lately on the grass than there has been dirt mares. The fact that the connections of top horses seem to have an aversion to competition won't help. I would have loved to see Zenyatta on the grass (real grass I mean). Hard to believe she wouldnt have been one of the few american horses of the last 30 or so years that may have been good enough with enough stamina to have a shot in the Melbourne Cup
