My favorite moment from the TVG Zenyatta telecast..

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.

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.

I remember fooling myself into thinking she was one of the best female sprinters in the country because of her record and her performances... and later taking abuse for it when she finally lost a step or two.

That wasn't an unreasonable position to take at the time. I wasn't a big fan of her until that FG meet when she won for fun in the Pan Zareta and Victoria Lass.
