The song about Zenyatta being better on dirt has been sung. Unfortunately her connections disagreed or else they might have tried her more on it.
Zenyatta barely beat Dance to My Tune (1 1/2 lengths) on a :47 3/5 pace. Zenyatta barely beat St. Trinians on a :47 2/5 pace. The paces in those races were decent yet she still didn't win by much. If she can barely beat those horses and she is better on synthetics as you guys say, she wouldn't be able to get within 10 lengths of Blame.
