She ran second to Zardana at the Fairgrounds....Now we have Zenyata coming up at S.Anita in about 15 min.

Clearly was not ready. I do not care who you are, if you are not ready, you can be beat. I am more upset they forced her to run just to do a rush job for a race against Zenyatta.

Let them both naturally tell you when they are ready & meet up later in the year.

Watched it RA was not back to form...Really pressing her after the 3 yr old campaign she had was asking the world of her..I still think she comes back and beats Zenyatta in a few weeks

Zenyatta was always clearly better anyway. At least now we can stop talking about that RA fraud. Don't understand how many people didn't get this after the Classic.

Solid job by the 'horse of the year'

A 100% Rachel still beats Zenyatta. Anyone who thinks she is a fraud is a fool & knows nothing about horse racing. Zenyatta faces chumps on the West Coast, never really travels yet people want to ignore what Rachel did.

She clearly has not been in a normal training regimen & still ran a respectable effort. Get a clue

Love the east coast bias, keep it coming. Can't wait to get a better price on Zenyatta, if it happens....RA team might not want further humiliation though.

Both are great, but I've thought Zenyatta was better for a while now and still do.

This is the TRUTH

Have owned horses for 15+ years...Currently have 10 race horses...and whoever thinks that Zenyatta record beats RA is NOT a racefan...What RA did this year is UNTHINKABLE....She went EVERYONE took on COLTS Multiple times and Beat them with ease

She is now 4 and barring a training injury will beat Zenyatta.....Guys Zenyatta ran ONE race(Yes it was special) but it was on the ONLY track she loves...She now returns to the "other" track she has one on and this will be a REAL TEST

SYNTHETIC is 100% Different than DIRT...If you don't know that I want to book your horse action

This race will never be fair unless its run twice. Once on Syn and once on Dirt.

It's like comparing clay and grass players in tennis... you just don't do that.

Either way I'm west so Go team Z

Rachel wants nothing to do with Zenyatta.
I dont think she will run against her.
The connections of Rachel know better.

Come on Zardana.Who trains that filly???
She couldnt hold a candle to the greatest
filly EVER, Zenyatta.
If Rachel wins a breeders cup Classic please bump this thread.

Although i agree with a lot of your statements, I don't think a race with 5 runners is a fair race to judge RA. I need at least 7 or 8 to get a good understanding of where RA is at. She did not look in form at all.

And again Go team Z

All Rachel backers have no progressive thinking.Rachel was bought after her 20 length victory in Ky Oaks AND a rat named Mine That Bird beat the best 3yo colts in Derby.I think if the perfect storm did not happen no one would have known Rachel like they know her now.Yes she won the Prekness 2 weeks later and had a clear advantage of pace and all these 3 yo that ran 2 weeks earlier were all "topped out". The reason I make this point is all Derby horses had from 4 to 6 weeks off before the derby.She chose the weaker 3 yo race against colts again(listen to Jerry Bailey after BC Classic of last year) to beat Summer Bird and Munnings? in the slop.She beat absolutely nothing in the Woodward (Macho Again-Bullsbay) by getting weight to boot.
NOW MY POINT!!!!!!!!
She goes out for remainder of year because she cannot beat top line older males and nothing left in her division.Jackson will not run on poly because his broken down Curlin got beat on it. They have 6 MONTHS to prepare for a campaign this year and she is not ready?

Zenyatta has been brought along perfect for 3 years why do all Rachel fans shoot her down.????

Rachel is only great because she was put into perfect situations for a 3 month period.Zenyatta has been perfect for 15 starts and 3 years.

My opinion is Jerry Moss should tell the world Zenyatta is staying put and winning 5 Gr. I in California and then going to Churchill Downs for BC Classic. He does not need the money and because Jesse Jackson is such an idiot ,who, by the way bought this horse along with Curlin should ask every one if you want some come to California.

so RA should go to Cali but Zenyatta shouldn't go anywhere?? WTF

RA has raced in SIX different states

Has the fastest EVER Mother Goose fractions at Belmont..Oh and was the only Female ever to win the Woodward...She WON 4 Grade 1's in A ROW ALL Over MALES

Zenyatta raced against Boys ONCE A Great Race, but come on we ALL know ONE race doesn't make you the best...She beat Plenty of Fillies and Mares

BUT RA Beat Plenty of Colts...Zenyatta has not AND she only races on Poly

I'm sorry but 90% of all tracks are Dirt not Poly....In order to be compared to the best ever you have to race on dirt (AS ALL the past Champions ahve)

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Zenyatta win the Apple Blossom in 08.

I could be wrong (but I'm not) but thats a dirt race.

Rachel WON on poly didn't she? OK Rachel backer hang your whole discussion on winning the fastest Mother Goose in history.

I will give you a little tip when it comes to horseracing- Time is only important when you are in jail.
