I was amused by the way the DRF has framed Zenyatta's win streak "at an elite level" in order to exclude the New Mexico horse from the likes of Citation and Cigar:

On Friday, she can match the feat of 16 straight wins at an elite level that has characterized the careers of Citation, Cigar, and Mister Frisky.

Calling it a "feat" instead of a "record" is clever, too.

Didn't Mister Frisky rack up most of those wins in Puerto Rico?
