Rachel in my opinion would definitely BEAT Zenyatta because she is faster and stronger. Rachel beats the boys and colts by loads of meters. I don't think Zenyatta could beat Rachel.
@sylvesterseye Listen dude, I have no beef with you. If you truly think that rachel winning a grade 2 against allowance horses means "she's back" then you're entitled to think that. But if you think that I, as a Zenyatta fan, am somehow threatened by the "real mare", then think again.
Thata not why shes back, shes back becase she got the highest Beyer of the eyear with that race, and her time being better than Quality Road's. Carry-on :)
@queenluciaa well I guess you got me there. Because beyers are the end all for indicating a horse's ability right? If Rachel is the same horse this year as she was last year then what does that tell you about Rachel? That she was dominant simply because of very weak competition? Haven't you heard that she just got beat by an allowance horse? Enjoy your beyer speed figures because that's all you can point to this year. I'll stick with the horse who's gone 18 races without defeat.
Err... "I'm going to stick with the horse who has been undefeated in 18 races.."
Its such a shame there are very rare true racehordse horse fans aymore. Having to pick sides and bash the other. I love Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra equally. In my opinion no horse in the world in the world is better than the other. Whats the difference between RA/Zenyatta to my 19 Year-old QH?Lives yes, Minds? No. They are all horses, with the same wants. Thats the best way to classify them IMO.
@queenluciaa so if I'm a fan of Joe Frazier instead of mohammed ali, does that mean I'm not a fan of boxing? Or if I like the Lakers and hate the Celtics I can't possibly be a true fan of Basketball. I guess anybody who decided to take sides in the Sunday Silence vs Easy Goer rivalry mustn't be true fans like you. Taking sides is part of what makes the sport interesting. If everyone was took a middle-of-the road perspective, rivalries would have no flavor and thus become stale.
@queenluciaa I seriously doubt that your horse has the same mind as Zenyatta or Rachel. Sure, all horses share the same instincts, but like people they are all individuals. Champions know they're the best. Zenyatta knows it and I doubt that Zippy Chippy had the same mentality. If you knew anything about herd mentality, which I assume as a horse owner you do, there is a ranking system within a herd. They're not running some hippie commune where everyone is equal. Zenyatta has no living equal.
@sylvesterseye she wasn't exactly up against a bunch of world beaters today. I was surprised she didn't win by more considering the lack of competition.
I do love Rachel but and Zenyatta but I have to say Zenyatta will beat her. She has way more stamina than Rachel. I hope she gets back on her feet. I also wish she didn't pull out of the Apple Blossom.
Sitting here with my eyes watering...she'll be back. :) It's not just the winning and losing, it's everything this girl signifies. Wonderful video and testimony.
Rachel is so cute when she looks at the crowd/camera after the race. Her eyes look like they're saying, "I tried my best, but you'd bet I'll be back." Thanks for sharing.
Hey im Wesley from Little Rock and her last work just showed that she's back and going to be herself for the rest of the year, her brilliant self, I will be there on Oaks day waiting to see her destroy Zardana in the La Troinne. Believe that.
@dubby300 You are awesome. I'm only going to Churchill if Rachel goes. I'm worried about what Careless Jewel will take out of her - Rachel will scoot by Careless Jewel, just worried about that early impact. But I worry about everything. Great to hear your commentary.
