MS.RACHELWAS ALWAYS MY CHOICE 4H.o.Y,BOTH OF THESE 'GIRLS' DESERVE EVERY ACCOLADE THEY HAVE GARNED BUT MS.RACH IS SUPERIOR,MY PROBLEM WITH THE ECLIPSE AWARDS IS THAT NEITHER NAVIGATOR,SMITH NOR BOREL WERE EVEN NOMINATED FOR THE AWARD FOR JOCKEY?!? THE PIANO DID NOT WRITE THE CONCERTO!? NEITHER OF THESE AMAZING ANIMALS CROSSED THE FINISH LINE FIRST WITHOUT THE ATHLETICISM,KNOWLEDGE AND PROWESS OF BOTH OF THESE JOCKEYS?!

although she is not running on any surface in the breeders cup ill have to give it to her regardless of what the rest of the champions do she is amazing vs fields that her owners chose to put her in. i dont like how they dont even want to try on the synthetic she might like it or get beat but they can always use that as an excuse like curlin i dont think a loss on the synthetic will tarnish her greatness at all my hats off to her shes beat the BEST.

I say MAYBE another horse has it but her campaign this year is one of the greatest racing seasons ever. Undefeated this year beating probable champion three year old(SB or MTB). Maybe if Zenyatta goes crazy, wins the classic, another race against boys and this "Matchup" happens and she wins, MAYBE then.

interesting--i think the unprecedented year rachel has had as a 3 yr old filly should also be considered--the historical, not likely to happen again for a very very longtime. just another factor to throw into the mix:)
