I wouldn't have brought it back up if you hadn't said to me that I'd be proven wrong.

Nowhere in my post did I say that Zenyatta was not a great horse. I simply said, and maintain that greatness is not attained with one effort. She has had a tremendous career and capped it off with an effort for the ages. However, the nod for HOY shouldn't go to her because of the one performance, in my opinion, at least not in a year where there was another horse like Rachel Alexandra.

I disagreed with the statement that the classic was the only non ordinary thing she has done

the CD race is not relavant to this discussion, where are you reading that they are trying to make it part of it?

Someone says that she shipped to scratch....now that is what I like to hear from my competition.

I was just trying to get a rise out of you. I was totally joking.
