Obviously the races would have been far more likely to attract respectable horses without Zenyatta running.

However ... the horses she has been beating have been mind bogglingly bad even with that considered.

I know, it does not make for compelling racing...there are way to many races around the country but usually the Apple Blossom is kind of the king of the female spring races. Even when a horse like Azeri ran, and Azeri could give Zenyatta everything she would want, there were good horses that showed up. Yesterday...not so much.
