![]() I understand why you posted this so I will bite. Zenyatta at 11? I am not sure she is the 11th best filly of all time if we are going to include horses from the 1800's. I'm anxious to hear why she is better than Kelso or Dr Fager who doesnt even make the top 20????

![]() Zenyatta is like Andy Pettitte. Pettitte is the all time winningist playoff pitcher in baseball history. He was a really good pitcher. But no one is calling Andy Pettitte the 11th or 12th best pitcher in history.

When you sit down and write down her list of accomplishments and compare to others she is usually dwarfed in achievment. She won a bunch of the same old, synthetic races in CA over and over. The Apple Blossom is NOT big race in this country. |

![]() True. They both raced against the local farmers' donkeys a bunch of times and people made a big deal out of them emerging victorious.

![]() The ancient horses get extra credit because they raced at longer distances. As great as Secretariat was, he was unproven at four miles.

![]() The funny thing about Zenyatta is that she is stricty an Americn vice. The year end Int'l weights had her at 125 which was 3 pounds less than Quality Road and Blme.

![]() Evening Attire is high on my list. He was really, really old for a racehorse and came from behind and still won. That has to mean something.
