I think the point people are missing is that Zenyatta runs on the astroturf of horse racing while every single other horse mentioned in this thread ran their entire careers over a natural racing surface. When pro-ride or tapeta or polytrack go the way of the dodo bird in the next 20 years, we will really have no idea how good Zenyatta would have been good over dirt or grass.
The handicap division now sucks so much more than it did when Personal Ensign or Lady's Secret were running. I think that's a major reason why so many bombs are lobbed her way, because by running against Switch and Rinterval 17 of 19 times she's hit the track, who is she really avoiding? Richard's Kid?
