No, the losers are clowns like this:

All debate should end over who is the best horse of all time if Zenyatta does what she has always done: win for the 20th and final time on Saturday in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

How can anyone argue she isn’t the best horse with a record of 20-0?

I’ve watched her since she was a 4-year-old, and what’s most remarkable is that in a sport where there are no sure winners, she is.

She always starts last and somehow always rallies to win. She runs only as fast as her jockey needs her to run. She has faced speed horses, come-from-behind horses, traffic troubles, won on dirt, won synthetics, won at six furlongs, won at 1 1/4 miles. She dances before races, she poses after races.

Secretariat was great, but Zenyatta is greater because she has never lost.

I wont go off saying she is the best horse ever but she should be considered as one the great horses IF she wins the classic again.

If she wins the Classic for the first time on dirt, she might compare favorably to some, but not all, of the prior Classic winners on dirt.

serious question...is tiznow one of the greatest ever? if not, why should zenyatta be should she manage a win saturday?
and there is a far, far cry between saying she's not on a short list of all time greats and being a hater. if zenyatta is the most mentioned word here these days, hater has to be second. it's really ridiculous.

that's a shame. secretariat had horses like sham and forego to run against, and beat the clock to boot. zenyatta had gio ponti and rinterval. yeah, she's way better than him.

Two of the talking heads on ESPN's Around the Horn said something very similar today. Because other greats had lost and she hasn't, she must be the best of all time.

I guess to someone who has no clue about the game it might make some sense. if you have no perspective of how good some of the horses she is being compared to really were, the "she's never lost" arguement probably makes sense. I can understand people not following the game having such a flawed opinion.

What I'll never get is people that follow the sport thinking that.

That is what is so alarming about it. People who should know better are spouting such nonsense.

Since such simple arguments are made in her favor, perhaps simple arguments should be made in response. There is absolutely no way she even sniffs Secretariat's track record on Saturday; that just proves Secretariat was the superior animal.

I hope the Jap horse wins the race by 15 lengths,
