That's been my point from early on.

For the record, Gallorette ran 72 times compiling a record of 21-20-13. She ran against her own sex a whopping 17 times. 17. One more time for clarity... SEVENTEEN. Versus females, 17/8-4-5 including:

Acorn Stakes (1945)
Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (1945)
Delaware Oaks (1945)
Beldame Stakes (1946)
Top Flight (1948)

She ran against males 55 times with a record of 13-16-8 against them at distances between 6f and 10f. She faced Stymie regularly. Assault. Pavot. Conniver. Among her wins:

Metropolitan Handicap (1946)
Brooklyn Handicap (1946)
Wilson Stakes (1947, 1948)
Queens County Handicap (1947)
Carter Handicap (1948)
Whitney Handicap (1948)

The notion that Zenyatta is even an equal of Gallorette is utterly preposterous.
