Crist: Zenyatta needs to earn title on track

[Merlinsky]

An ad just came on during Letterman for the 60 Minutes piece on Zenyatta, and they say "Is she the greatest filly of all time? You bet she is!"

I gagged. She's the dancing queen, but c'mon. There's more to do here. This before she even runs in the Classic at Churchill. If she loses, it takes the thunder out of their proclamation, so I understand why CBS's doing things this way. Still waiting on that 60 Minutes special on Gallorette. Doesn't mean Zenyatta's not a Hall of Famer. It's just ridiculous hyperbole right now, aimed at scoring viewers.
