If they really thought she was as good as Secretariat, I'm sure they would be running her against the boys more often.

not sure why you brought up secretariat, i didn't, and if they didn't, what's the connection? i only mentioned personal ensign...
however, i do know that they were angry and disappointed that she didn't get that eclipse, and know shirreffs commented on it recently. if they wanted that, they should have done more to get it...the horse could have done it, had they entered her where they needed to. they didn't, but wanted the reward anyway. i give them props for going to the bcc, i didn't expect it.

as for her being a mare and being treated like one, i'm not sure what that's supposed to mean....this sport, more than any, is where the girls can take on the boys, with success. i do not believe for a moment that taking on the opposite sex can be more of a detriment than staying with your own. zenyatta is a big girl, she can take care of herself. if they wish to play it safe, they can't expect to be treated as taking risks.

also, neither rachel or goldikova are secretariat reborn, and they take on males.
