Zenyatta became memorable when she was beaten. It was in her loss to Blame that one could truly see her heart, her determination. The same could be said for Rachel, with her win in the Woodward. (Sorta--though I much preferred Rachel's 3 year old year.)
These were, by far, two of the greatest performances of this era. For whatever reason, I'm not sure, but Arrogate hasn't had the impact on me, not at all, that Rachel and Zenyatta had.
