Surely you could have found a better example of ducking than connections who ultimately ran a mare against males in two BC Classics. Your point and intent would have been stronger if you'd found a horse that was more a turf horse than "probably", and one whose connections had ducked a race in the past 8 years. But Zenyatta and her connections are still such popular targets...
She was bred to like turf, she ran like a turf horse, like many turf horses, she ran very well on synthetic, but she never ran on turf. So yeah, there is room for some for doubt. The rest of your post is nonsensical.
