Who beats Zenyatta if the BC was at SA this year?

I know what you are saying about lack of proven synthetic runners, but she is barely beating absolute pigs now. Nobody stepped up last year, but that doesn't make it a cinch nobody would this time around.

She's barely beating total pigs because of the way these races are being run.

If you put her in a race like the BC Classic on syn - it's going to be a big field - and it's going to have a lot of pace in it, it's more ground to work with. That suits her a whole lot better than slower paced races at shorter distances.
