So you're bringing up complaints made by basically no one that is on this message board 7 years ago and somehow comparing them to this situation?

I remember a lot of those being from Azeri's second West Coast campaign, where, after her perfect '02 season, she was handled much like Zenyatta. To be fair, she was between the same rock and hard place, given that the BC was in her own backyard.

Of course, the whole b!itchfest became moot once she got beat in the Lady's Secret.

Yes, that was unfortunate, she got hurt and then beat by a horse she drummed a month earlier, thats racing, you got to take your shots when they are there, cant wait till next year.

Correct! Its just too bad Zenyatta didnt do that.

Directly opposed to the NY Times poll, the poll done by Bloodhorse has Zenyatta 60/40

Did you read any of the comments made by the people in Zen's camp below the poll. Its absolutely sickening to read the arguments they made for her. Makes me wonder how some people, who really have no clue and are completely ignorant about horse racing, find bloodhorse and post 1st grade level arguements for her. I should be laughing at them but they really made me sick to my stomach.

Just a couple that multiple people posted.
- Shes 14for14 what more does she have to do.
- Shes won G1s on dirt and Poly
- Zen beat MTB by 10 and Rachel only by 1
