I'd rather be wrong and say Black Caviar is a much better horse than Zenyatta.

And quite frankly if Zenyatta shipped to Ascot she would get drowned in a route race.

But again I'm lower on the know it all food chain so I digress.

Edit: removed a bad word that offends superior folk.

To be somewhat fair, Zenyatta lost on dirt by a head in the best dirt race in the world at the age of 6, and she easily won a very prestigious G1 race as a 4yo in her 4th career race. I hate how she was handled, but she was more than a synthetic horse.
