You are trying to impart mythical status to Zenyatta's runner up effort. But it was no great shakes.

Well remember, we only get to this point by pretending her other Classic didn't happen.
But no, it will likely be a long time before another mare wins or finishes second in the BC Classic. Over time, you will be forced to revise your opinion.
