We all have our opinions but ask those that are far more credible than most of the posters here. Some of the best minds in the sport are in the camp that she was deserving and was the best horse running last year.

i'm not sure why you and others feel zenyatta is being 'discredited' by anyone. the fact is, that zenyatta has ZERO wins in 2010 in open company. blame's wins all occurred in open stakes company. that fact alone suggests that he had a tougher campaign. it's not a discredit, it's not opinion or conjecture. again, had she been any mare other than zenyatta, she'd have never garnered a vote, let alone win the thing. everyone knows why she won-and many disagree with giving horse of the YEAR to a horse who had to campaign three years to receive that award.
