gander is the voice of reason. who cares? its the opinion and vote of a bunch of people. they are not racing each other. both sides have made me laugh. the thread where rachel is better than ruffian is a hoot. considering ruffian broke more records than zenyatta and rachel combined. but anyway there are good reasons for both winning. that being said, i had to vote for rachel. i kind of see horse of the year as a fan thing so any horse that runs on different tracks at different states would get my vote. yes , her campaign was planned to win this by summers end, but she won them all. plus, both races have there weaknesses. the woodward was second rate horses and the breeders cup "classic" is called a "classic" on pro ride where the dirt horses don't seem to have a shot at all. bottom line rachel exposed herself to more fans, more races on different tracks and won them all. the lesson should be "take it on the road or stay home and shut up when you are passed over". both are great horses though.
