Zenyatta's winning margin last 9 synthetics races: 1 1/4, hd, 2 1/2, 1 3/4, 1 1/2, 3 1/2, 1, 1/2.

Her lone dirt race: 4 1/2 lengths - then another 3 1/2 back to Ginger Punch.

I only have her last 10 races.

I don't know why I'm bothering responding to you seriously considering your ridiculous bias on the HOY subject, but you honestly think winning margin has anything to do with the tea in China when we're discussing two different surfaces? Then again, for some reason you think it's easier for a horse to 'get away' on synthetics than on dirt, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

So then, tell me:

Why do you think you know better than Z's jockey and trainer (who also is on record as saying Z is better on dirt) that she is not better on dirt?

Talk is cheap. They could've proved their assertion, and again and again they refused to do so. It's just hollow lobbying for HOY and an attempt to quickly defer questions about her dirt ability. If you have half a brain you can see this. Unfortunately, your bizarre pro-Zenyatta/anti-RA bias doesn't allow you to admit it. Which is why I said this is getting embarrassing.

Z has won on both dirt and synthetics -- that is more than RA can say.
