She was good for the sport on the days she ran but how many of those screaming little girls that came out on those days are going to remain as fans once she's retired? How much long term good did she really do?
Strangely enough, a lot of the pretty horsey people I know who were only paying attention to racing because of Zenyatta have turned their affection towards Switch.
