I am not speculating anything. Did you once read where i said anything about Zenyatta beating Blame if it wasn't for the track?

YOU speculated that he would have won anywhere. I am merely saying that we will never know and when the difference is that small, things obviously could have gone differently. Maybe Blame wins by more on another track. Maybe he loses. I just don't see the win as being emphatic enough to say that "blame wins on any track in america". If you do, that is your perogative.
