It would be pointless. That article shows his bias and provincialism clearly.
People are so caught up that they are forgetting the fact that while Rachel is the first to do this and the first to do that, it's not like she's the one that's been successful after so many others have failed. Look at the Woodward. No 3yo filly had even run in the race in the past 36 years. She's special. There should be no question about that. And she's deservedly put herself into the conversation of best of this or best of that. As more opportunities are given, you'll see these kinds of things start to happen more and more. Take Eight Belles, for example. When she ran second in the Derby, a huge deal was made of it. Then Rags won the Belmont the next year and Rachel wins the Preakness this year. Suddenly, Eight Belles' accomplishment doesn't seem so incredible.
