Other than Mike Smith's unapologetic declaration about her being the greatest horse ever should she win the Classic - better than Secretariat, blah, blah, blah, I didn't find it so bad. It was indeed a puff piece geared to the unwashed masses of non-racing fans. It might draw a few people into the sport. Emphasis on the word "might".
Despite John Sherriff's less than white teeth (maybe it's from his share of Guinnes Stout), I like him. He loves his charge and isn't afraid to get all gushy about her. I find nothing wrong with that. I did kind of smile when Mike Smith said through misting eyes that no stallion was worthy of her. C'mon folks, lighten up. It's hype, and it's only the beginning should she win the Classic. Get used to it or just tune off everything horseracing, because 99% of it will be slathering over Zenyatta until well after the Eclipse Awards.

Does anyone seriously believe she has any chance of running down Quality Road ? Come back from Fantasyland.

The nice part about Fantasyland is that we eventually get back to reality - well, some do, some don't. Next week this time, it'll be backpeddling by a lot of people who think their picks had a lock.

All a matter of perspective. I'm certain the Zenyatta fans thought it was just wunerful. Another racing forum has not one negative thing to say about the show. Go figure!
After laboring through Secretariat without walking out of the theater, I can pretty much sit through any flavor KOOL-AID the TB industry/media/and entertainment shows choose to heap on the masses.

You said "I'm certain the Zenyatta fans thought it was just wunerful." Not all of them did, and it occurred to me to share the ones I knew of because they instantly came to mind. I don't care what forum you're thinking about in your head, I wasn't referring to whoever those people are. I spoke to my own experience and referred to two people I thought would have thought the special was God's gift to television. They didn't. I don't really care if Forum X has nothing but sugary things to say about Zenyatta. I'm not a member of said forum I'm sure, so why do I care?
