Of course, that doesn't have to mean your statement is incorrect, but Zenyatta doesn't exactly "drown" very many horses, and I think Banshee Breeze might be a whole lot better than some horses Zenyatta hasn't beaten by much.

To me, she also seems better than a couple of horses that beat RA this year. I'm not saying I would bet Banshee Breeze over those two, but it doesn't seem like that big of a stretch to compare her on even terms with those two. Does it?.
