The reason we don't know "where Z stands" in terms of all time greatness is because she was not challenged to take on the best runners out there, every time, every race.

If you take "Zenyatta" out of the mix and St Trinians (or "Brown Mare") beats up on Be Fair, Taptam, Rinterval and Switch all year. She never takes on Life at Ten or Unrivaled Belle. NONE of her primary rivals are even considered for a try in the BC Distaff. Now she heads to the Classic and loses, by a head to the best older male in the country. Would anyone in their right mind be considering her for HOY?
