BEYER: Defining Zenyatta's historical role

She also deserves (and gets) credit for winning races on three different types of synthetic surfaces and dirt. A lot of good horses can't do that, and she can.

Okay fine. She's a really good horse. Nobody really disputes that.

It is only when people start saying she is one of the best ever that her supposed "detractors" rightfully begin to raise points against her.
There is a big range between "blows" and "one of the best ever." In my opinion, she fits somewhere in that range.

Hey I agree with you she is a very good horse. I never said she was the greatest ever. His post basically said she is comparable to a AAA baseball player. She is much better than that.

I never said that she is a AAA baseball player..I compared her to the plight of a guy who is always better than a AAA player but who never gets an extended shot in the majors to show how good he is or can be. She's proven time and time again obviously she's deserving of taking on bigger and better things but she never gets a chance because of her cowardly connections.

Well lets drop it. Good luck on any bets you make today! Can't wait to see if Twirling Candy is the real deal

She's also a fantastic dancer. I can't wait to see her strut her stuff in the paddock. Hopefully I can hold back the tears this time.

That's a terrible thing to say about a horse.

Calling her just a "fantastic" dancer seems to leave open the possibility that you think some other horse might actually be a better dancer.

That's ridiculous. Please desist in this obvious smear campaign against her.

She is obviously the greatest four-legged dancer in the history of earth, and any suggestion otherwise is a disgrace to the sport.

Point taken, I apologize. Maybe after she retires they'll ask her to be on Dancing With the Stars.

Now that Rachel is retired, maybe the new forum rivalry can be Zenyatta vs. Dancing Merengue Dog. I think it's clear that Zenyatta is second-best four-legged dancer in the history of the earth.
