EVER. zenyatta isn't fit to be mentioned in the same thread as most of those horses above.


and this, this is akin to blasphemy:

While I currently put Ruffian ahead of Zenyatta, it is getting very close to the point that I will decide to move Zenyatta above Ruffian. My thinking is I probably will make that switch if Zenyatta remains undefeated and manages to win a second Breeders’ Cup Classic this year.

ruffian lead at every call of every race she ever ran in. she never gave up the lead until she gave up everything.

Isn't there only one call that really matters in racing, the one that has 17 straight "1"s in it for Zenyatta.

I realize its hard to believe, but when you have people like Jon White and Steve Davidowitz saying that Zenyatta is the best mare or one of the two best mares they've ever seen, shouldn't that make you look at and appreciate Zenyatta rather than continue to degrade her and her performances???
