I think Zenyatta is the single most overhyped entity I have ever encountered in my life.

I thought the same thing. The funny thing is the answers are very similar to things many of us have said about her this year, yet we're labeled 'Zenyatta haters'.

I agree. She's a really nice mare and definately one of the best fillies or mares to run in my lifetime. Its a shame I've allowed myself to not care so much about her because of a few posters.

Wow, you have a short memory

Might have to bump a few of those old RA threads and articles from last fall and winter

Talk about overhyping…

The RA hype is stomped into dust by the Zenyatta hype, and it's not debatable.

That's because there are less reasons to hype her this yr, it's not even comparable to last year, if my memory is correct I was the only one that even dared to critique her record, and as silly as it sounded at the time to some, she was overhyped and yes I will include the same Sentiment to those that are premature in their declarations of Zenyatta being the greatest before Sat's race. Something I have never said BTW.

You're out of your mind. The Zenyatta hype is unlike anything I've seen in my lifetime.

Your memory needs some refreshing then. Ie. Post Woodward threads 2009. The ironic thing is if she had retired, she would be the one being mentioned alongside of some of the greats of the game right now.

Nope. Not nearly the same. She was never called the greatest horse ever by otherwise reasonable people, she never got a 60 Minutes special, etc. You're delusional as usual.

That's not true at all. I said it was lunacy to say RA was an all time great, or even a better filly than Rags to Riches.

Ok fair enough, then good on you. All I remember was taking it from all sides, for daring to question her record and Jess's actions of shutting her down with 4 months of racing left in the year.

He had every right to shut her down. She actually ran a taxing campaign.

She was better than Rags To Riches IMO.

Not in my eyes. I could never see RA beating Curlin, under any conditions other than her getting a 5 length lead going real slow.

Even then, I doubt it.

I think the reason RA looked as good as she did was the atrocious level of competition she faced.

I think they would have had a great match-up if they battled going 1-1/16 or 1-1/8.

At a 1-1/4, I would give the advantage to R2R.
