It's too bad Zenyatta got beat by Blame.

Than she would have been HOTY.

But I'm sure you have something to blame for that piss poor showing.

I guess since Zenyatta didn't lose by open lengths, it's as good as a win.

Then again, if that were so, Zenyatta's record is more like 4 wins and 16 seconds.

so who is the better horse?

well when you look at who won when the two raced against each other..

Exhibit A


My actual opinion: Both horses are fairly equal in ability, though using different racing styles.. both very nice horses. And nobody would rank Blame in the top 50/100 of all time.
