If you can't understand that she isn't winning by more than the margins she is because of pace and trip issues .. you're hopeless and borderline retarded.

If you ran the Clement Hirsch - and removed Zenyatta from the race - the pace would have been a hell of a lot more contested as the riders wouldn't have all been trying to turn the race into a perverted 2.5 furlong sprint that was a disgraceful eyesore to watch.

Yes, in a truly run race, Zenyatta would have won the Hirsch by a significant margin (no less than 3 lengths - possibly as many as 6 or 7 if Dance to My Tune and Rinterval really knocked heads and softened each other up)

Normally - I would call anyone who tries to make a case of running to competition by comparing morning workouts with Grade 1 stakes races a complete imbecile ... but yeah, that's pretty much what all of her stakes wins this year save the Vanity have been .. glorified paid morning workouts.
