What's kind of amusing - is that all of Zenyatta's Beyer figures this year have been unquestionably inflated.

I'm not talking 1 or 2 points - more like 4 to 8. You've got races where everything behind her is running a new lifetime top and thats what it takes to get her to 100.

I've never seen anything like it.

To be more accurate the entire field in the Santa Margarita ran a new beyer top except for the last place finisher and Switch ran a new top. Other than that no horse she has run against has been given a top lifetime figure.

Rinterval got a lifetime top for the Hirsch.

So if the beyers are accurate the last two fillies who finished second to her ran the race of their lives.

Just from her last race at Del Mar - Rinterval and Princess Taylor both were.

St. Trinians broke into the side of the gate - got a horrid ride - lost a shoe - and still equalled her lifetime top - which was a race like 5 back.

Gio Ponti hasn't come within 9 or 10 points of his BC Classic fig this year.

Obviously - none of that has anything to do with her figures being inflated. There are other routes on these cards.

Sry, missed Princess Taylor too. Gio Ponti has nothing to do with this years races. St. Trinians is another example of a horse who finished second to her and supposedly ran the race of her life.

Maybe a little bit of her greatness just rubs off on everyone around her.

Not on her fans on the internet.

Unquestionably and Arguabley are the only one's that Zenyatta has to fear all the rest have to come and get her in the Classic. OOOHHHH on dirt, the only surface that she wins with day light between her rivals.

He bet against her yesterday?

St. Trinians is the only horse she's faced all year who isn't a complete joke - and anyone with any sense knows St. Trinians was the better horse that day.

I agree with your overall point, but I think the Baffert filly who ran second yesterday is actually pretty decent.

Switch is a Sadler filly.

I'd like to see her run on dirt again - Devil May Care beat her by 9 lengths at Gulfstream in the Bonnie Miss.
