OK. I don't have time to read through all 13 pages of this thread, so I apologize if someone has already made this points.
Zenyatta is a very nice mare. She's done nothing wrong, answered the bell for every race and deserves high accolades. However, the company she's kept the majority of the time has been suspect at best. She did beat Ginger Punch (an eclipse winner) in the Apple Blossom.. she gets credit for that one. She did win the BCC.. kudos for that.. It's pointed out that the race was in her backyard on a surface the majority of the field was unproven on.. that's valid.
to me, the BCC win was terrific, but I can see why others knock it.
The bottom line is her connections could have sent her to the Foster last weekend.. she would have silenced her doubters with a win in that race.. but they didn't.. In my opinion.. if she beats Quality Road, Blame or Rachel ( I believe she's back in form now).. she deserves to be put on a pedestal. Hopefully she gets that chance in the BCC.
