This is likely.

Because years from now people will say things like, "hey, that 3rd-level allowance race that Anabaa's Creation ran 5th in before almost beating Zenyatta wasn't so bad after all, right? And those 15 straight races that Dance To My Tune lost before almost beating Zenyatta weren't so bad, right? I mean, give her some credit, she won a race in 2007!"

Problem is that Got Koko and Sightseek were actually good horses with proven records. Trying to compare them to the garbage that Zenyatta has beaten is laughable. And to try to think that "years after Zenyatta is retired," everyone will forget just what was behind Zenyatta is even more hilarious.
