You mean Secretariat never raced against and lost to Zenyatta in the Breeders Cup?

Zenyatta changed her tactics in that race - and opened up a big early lead out of the gate.

Secretariat - was closing fast on the outside - but missed.

Zenyatta used that race as a prep for the Indy 500 - which she won in a tight photo next time out.

It was refershing to see John Shirreffs run Zenyatta against real competition - Big Red and Indy Cars - instead of Dance to My Tune and Taptam.

You don't think Gio Ponti or Switch are as fast as Big Red or an Indy Car?

I guess this is one of the "spoilers" that Scav didn't want to give away.
