Rachel’s campaign was great but she was mostly sucking wind after her tough races while the big mare was barely breathing hard. Those that give Rachel an edge tacktically because of her speed is probably right below 9 furlongs but mythical race or not, I don’t see a younger weaker Rachel beating a mature stronger Zenyatta past 9 furlongs and definitely Rachel has ZERO chance at 10 furlongs.

Zenyatta and Racheal have not faced each other. If they were to race the question is who would win? This is the only relevant question when judging which is the greater race horse. If I were to bet, I would bet on Zenyatta. The Racheal camp avoided a showdown at the Breeders Classic because they feared Zenyatta. They wagered they would still win horse of the year anyway.
In my mind’s eye I can see Zenyatta coming from behind to nip Racheal Alexandra at the wire.
Zenyatta is the one.
