I couldn't get further than this sentence:

"There is little question that the best horse racing story of this era, or any era for that matter, was Zenyatta’s amazing run of 19 straight victories before barely losing to a horse named Blame in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic in Louisville, Ky. "

What IS an era anyway? I guess what ever it is, it doesn't cover 1973.
