Just imagine if Shirreffs had got brave and daring and ran Zenyatta in races like the Hollywood Gold Cup against the legendary winner Awesome Gem. Or the Pacific Classic against the legendary winner Richard's Kid.
Such victories - instead of narrow ones over Rinterval and St. Trinians - would have surely had to catapult her into the top five of all-time.
However, Shirreffs is a very patient man - and didn't want to risk having Zenyatta extend herself too much until the big day. It's all about the one big day a year and the win/loss record.
