She would have won that also, no questions and would have finished ahead of Curlin and been HOY then.

and there you have it folks. don't take into consideration the competition, or lack thereof. the surface, the locale. if zenyatta did it, it's great.

but you're perfectly right, she's one of the best lately. thanks for proving a point that a lot of people have been fruitlessly trying to make for the last couple of years. as for the curlin bcc, that's pure speculation-that and fifty cents will get you a cup of coffee.

A hopped up Curlin would have crushed Z.

A non hopped up Curlin would have beaten her easily.

That's on dirt.

No, I disagree. Curlin tailed off at the end of his last year. What was so strong about his Woodward? His Classic was ****. Z has never tailed off.

First off, Z has never tailed off because she's been handled with kid gloves. Even you know that.

Second, a tailed off Curlin would have been able to at least be competitive with a non tailed off Zenyatta.

Can you be serious? Curlin almost lost to that plodder... I forget his name now, I think it was an Indian Charlie though. His Classic was **** and Im sure Z beats him and Ravens Pass.
Curlin was brillant 3x in his career, congrats. I think Z has proven to be something special, Im not trying to be annoying w/ it, but your being a total hater.

Past The Point? Some plodder. Didn't Curlin win that race by open lengths?

How out of touch are you?

Why does she beat Raven's Pass? Because she beat nothing but turf horses the following year?

Huh? The Arkansas Derby, Preakness, Belmont, JCGC, BC Classic, Dubai World Cup, Stephen Foster, etc.

In what races was Zenyatta brilliant?
