2. This goes hand in hand with point 1. Zardana was undefeated prior to today on dirt. Unrivaled Belle has one loss, in which she went to the shelf immediately afterwards.
To me, she's the same horse she was last year, and I think her training schedule and race riding has helped expose her alleged greatness (all time), as has her competition.
What the hell happened today with Zardana anyways?

All good points especially about the competition. However she ran three (maybe four) huge races last year that were historic in what she as a 3yo filly did accomplish. Her place in history will be appreciated much more 10 years from now. Same with Zenyatta.
