The anti-Z's will see a massive underlay who's reputation is essentially based on a losing performance.

The pro-Z's will see a great horse that had it's heart ripped out by an even greater one.

Or do the pro-Z's desperately want St. Trinians to do well next year so they have another name to type besides Twice Over and Rip Van Winkle?

St. Trinians is an outstanding synthetic female. I don't think her reputation is based on a losing performance ... she was 2.00-to-1 going into that race off of a 100 day layoff - and facing Zenyatta at 9fs at Zenyatta's home track.

Nothing was made of how she broke into the side of the gate and stumbled at the start - or how she was excessively wide on both turns for no other reason than to avoid being trapped by John Shireffs other horse in the race. More was made about losing a shoe on the far turn.
