Well, she was much better than Pepper's Pride.

Without a doubt.

I actually caught a little flack from Tector for overrating her back in the day ... but great? my jaw dropped.

I think Hallowed Dreams faced better horses in most of her ungraded LA races than Zenyatta has in almost all of her Grade 1's.

Here was the point when I got caught up in overratting Hallowed Dreams. She had won 23 of her first 24 career starts, and broke into the side of the gate and was rushed in her lone defeat.

As entertaining as it is, you are going to blow an artery soon IDS, every veiled comment you make just shows us she has clearly gotten to you. I know it's sadistic of me to say this but it's really been fun watching you try to pick her apart and you are still at it. Honestly I love it.

Zenyatta wouldn't have had a chance against Hallowed Dreams at six furlongs and probably at seven furlongs. Among Hallowed Dreams' open company victims at FG during the 2000-2001 meet were Roxelana, Fiesty Countess, My Alibi, and Steal A Heart.

They're actually just big fans of The Police album. Picking Zenyatta to win was really a giant hunch bet for those guys. They had no idea she was actually the best horse.

What baffles me about all of this is after she won the BC classic even the staunchest Zenyatta doubters said "well ok that finally proves she's a great horse". Since then she's won three more and now she sucks again. How can that be
