I'm a huge Ghostzapper fan and think he was among the greatest horses I've seen in my lifetime, but he had one of the softest life time campaigns imaginable.

His entire reputation was made earning inflated Beyer figures (yes IMO a few were too fast, but it's a long discussion) while beating up total non entities racing a few times a year.

Then he was life and death against St Liam before he had even hit his best ride.

Then he won a great Classic, but while controlling the pace from the rail.

Of course I can make a better case for why he was great, but the point is you can't love Ghostzapper and also trash Zenyatta's campaigns over 3 years.
