When the quality of the field that Zenyatta beat in the Classic is called into question, her supporters often point out that a Derby winner and a Belmont winner were in that field. Usually forgotten is that Azeri also beat a Derby winner (Funny Cide) and a Belmont winner (Birdstone) when she ran 5th behind Ghostzapper in the 2004 Classic.
