Not to mention being wired twice by 2 horses who would be called good, AT BEST. Funny Z never got wired. Pace was against her many times, lone speed and everything, she always ran them down.

I know you understand the difference between a speed horse getting loose on dirt and on synthetics.

That is precisely the reason why many people argued that Zenyatta's ability to overcome negative pace setups would not be nearly as strong on dirt and would lead to her having lost a couple of the races she pulled out.

Why we're arguing about what they did in 2009 with regards to HOTY is beyond me.

I do understand the difference. Like you said, I know you do.

Its hard for you to discuss this the right way, without bias. Nice avatar.
