Blame saved the historic integrity of the sport
We can now finally put the rest the ridiculous notion that Zenyatta is the greatest American-raced thoroughbred ever.

There was a lot of hyperbole being thrown around. Her connections denied her the chance to prove her greatness by emphasizing the 'wins in a row', when she wasn't facing the toughest competition. They gambled a repeat win in the Classic would overshadow a year of bloodless races and they lost.

Somehow Moss and Bailey still came away with the impression that she's easily the best female racehorse of all time. Even if she had run last they would've found a way to bestow some other completely undeserved crown on her head.
It's unfair to her. She's a fantastic racehorse. She's not the best anything of all-time. That's nothing to be ashamed of.

Blame won a horse race today. Nothing more, nothing less. He saved the integrity of nothing. He beat the best synthetics race horse of all time who is also a very good dirt race horse as she pretty much proved today.
Personally I think she's just as good a race horse at 19 for 20 with this head loss as she would be if she were 20 for 20 with a head win today. Last year was only because she ran on her home track as the nay sayers bombarded everyone with. She ran on blame's home track today and very nearly won it. She didn't. Blame should be HOY despite the lamentations of Shirrefs as she didn't run any other big dirt races or the Pacific Classic or HGC at home. She had a much better case last year than this year, so I just hope no one caves and votes her HOY. Historically, I think she stands up ok.

Give her just credit! You haters comon man!
Ok this is getting crazy! Blame saved the sport are you kidding me! Why such hate? You don't think she was good for horse racing in general? Did you hear the crowd roar when they saw her! She was so far back and was flying to barely miss at the wire! Give zenyatta her just due. 19 for 20 on any surface is awesome. She is what makes horse racing great. So quit hating and realize she is good for the sport. Also don't get me started about morning line. I was yelling wheres the wire instead boom went my pic 3 and 4 and not to mention my win ticket! I love fly down missed barely in travers and looking forward to him racing next year. Maybe next year zito will have some luck! Great breeders cup!

Who you calling sparky! What about the fact that she came 6 wide and almost caught him. Why the hate you don't think she is good for horse racing! Comon man! lol By the way i liked blame and had the tri! But would have loved to see her win and hope she come back so you people can go on hating an amazing athlete. By the way she beat up ginger punch on the dirt so don't give me that crap about being a synthetic horse. Just think one more head bob and she wins and you would all still be bashing her! lol

To me, that makes her no better than Peppers Pride, who checked out a perfect 19 for 19. I don't even know how you can think Z is in the same league as PP.

He deserves HOY and entry into the Hall of Fame for all he did for racing history today. You know, kinda like how Zenyatta is the best horse ever because all of what she's done for racing.
