It's a closed case already but if Zenyatta were to beat a field that included Summer Bird and Mine that Bird and Macho Again (the same males Rachel beat) in addition to Rail Trip, Einstein, and whichever of the top Europeans that come over (especially if Sea the Stars was in that group), she'd get my vote if I had one. She wouldn't have accomplished as much during the entire season but I'd think she'd have proven she could beat the same horses as Rachel and even better ones.
