As I've said before, it's nice that she has brought in some fans and she's a very good horse, but the level of her competition precludes me from getting much excitement out of her races since, regardless of her style, her winning is just about a foregone conclusion. I'm excited by races where the outcome is in doubt beforehand.

This does not mean I don't like Zenyatta. Quite the opposite. I think she's awesome, and I wish she had more opportunities to prove it. It's not the horse I dislike, it's the way she's handled, and I think her campaigns do a disservice to her. I think most feel the same way. At the same time, her winning streak, which so many fans cling to as irrefutable proof of her greatness, is meaningless to me since there's such a controlled environment in most of her races. I can't call her great based on what she's done on the track, even though I think she has great talent, and that's unfortunate.

Oh, and not this again.
