That's just all plain nuts, and you know it.
In a fairly run race at 9f (you say 10) Rags probably wins more often than not. In a typical paceless 9f race, yeah, RA would have a big edge.
Going 10 or longer, RA would have to have everything go her way. Rags certainly would have beaten her in the Preakness Saturday.
