Its a very nice win but I usually want to see how they do against older horses. How many three year olds have won the BC Classic or the Distaff? Its not many and some of those years the older horses were very thin.

You're missing my point. I'm not saying that Rachel is better than Zenyatta or who would win. But this idea that Zenyatta's done everything a mare can do and should be allowed to dictate the terms should the two meet is ridiculous. The Preakness may or may not have been an all-time field, but like I said, it's a more nationally significant race than anything Zenyatta will ever win swatting away the same 5-6 horses at home all year. Zenyatta's connections would never have the guts to try something like Jackson did with Rachel, and she passed with flying colors.
