Sooner of later, Proviso will have to run in a FAIR race, and she'll get crushed.
At risk of sounding anti-Zenyatta, when dealing with her 2010 races, I don't think she has run against the dynamics of any of her races. Whether the same can be said about Proviso is a different issue.

I doubt too many horses run down St. Trinians -- certainly Proviso doesn't. But that's fine, as you're probably correct for 2010. Zenyatta has something like 12 WIPEOUTS in 17 races. All but 2 of which are on POLY -- which is no where near as conducive to wipeouts as dirt is (especially wet dirt). Proviso has yet to run her first.

What does this have to do with who accomplished more? Why are you letting him suck you in?

Of course, we're comparing a turf horse vs. a horse that has mainly run on synthetic tracks.. that would be like comparing a dirt horse to a sythnetic one..

Your question was clear, so far who has done/accomplished more. I dont even think its really a question, and IM A HUGE ZENYATTA FAN.

Proviso is a nice little horse but has had candy trips in her last three races.
