Once she wins the Woodward and Beldame ,with or without, Zenyatta she will have stamped her ticket. Assuming she wins both those two races she will be forever known as one of the very best race horses to ever run. This is not to say she is the greatest of all time or even the very best filly, just one of a select group of animals that depict the best the breed has to offer.

You bring up a good point of discussion, since the inception of the BC, has there ever been a horse considered great without running in it? Even if they didn't win.
