I agree Monmouth Guy---they're more concerned with being able to say Z was 14 for 14 (or whatever the final tally is) than that she won anywhere other than So Cal (and one race at Oaklawn). I think "gutless" is too strong but to me, shipping to Churchill, Saratoga, or wherever and/or running a game second or third vs. males would say more about her greatness than smacking around weak five-horse fields over and over. There may be a day when the polytrack craze ends, and then people will say "Yeah, she went undefeated but almost every race was against a tiny field on fake dirt."
