Not at all.

Stardom Bound stunk... she was slow and beat nothing fields in unimpressive fashion.

all of IP's dirt races have been huge and Zeyatta would have to find a lot better.

Are you using the synthetic figures to make that statement?

Yes ... obviously.

Based on synthetic form, there is no conclusive proof that Zenyatta is better now than she was at that time.

In fact, I took a lot of flack for saying Zenyatta was better than Nashoba's Key at the time.

Her dirt race at Oaklawn also wasn't as good as a lot of people seem to think.

so where would you rank her in terms of the filly horses, you know based on talent?

In my opinion Careless Jewell is a very exciting prospect and most likely the next best filly in the game, however I wouldn't throw her to the wolves of Zenyatta and RA just yet, she's only had 2 races on dirt and is still relatively early in her progression. Get her battle ready with a few more races and then take on the big girls, she won't disgrace herself.
