The whole Zenyatta thing has gotten distorted for a number of reasons. One, nitwits on the internet ( and this is a big one ). They have annoyed many rational people so much that the sane folk become insane. Two, and this is related, the insistance ( often by the same nitwits ) that she was robbed of HOY despite the obvious has further frustrated sane people ( believe it or not, many sane people who believe Zenyatta is better than Rachel also believe the clear and correct choice was made last year ). Three, her tepid campaign this year, on the heels of last year, has further frustrated many. But this shouldn't mean people should fail to recognize her enormous talent, and further diminish her.
Unfortunately, some of Zenayatta's supporters have this disorder that compels them to establish the case for Zenyatta's greatness ad nauseam.

Get down on your knees right now, AlreadyHome, and thank your maker that you're alive to watch this great racemare try to break the consecutive win record. lol


What’s "puzzling" to me is how anyone can knock Z's 2010 campaign at this point.

They held up their end of the bargain and showed up for the big race at Oaklawn.

Now she has a chance to break a record that has stood for what, 60 years … so why not let her try to do it in a G1 at her home base?

Makes sense to me


By the way, as many of her critics seem to think, a win in the Vanity is not a foregone conclusion. This Trinians beast looked very good at Anita earlier in the year and will be a formidable opponent given the big weight break that she'll receive.

Z (and Smith) will have to bring their A game...
