Not that it's her fault, because she can only run against those that line up in the gate against her, but Rachel never competed in a race where one of her rivals was a quality speed horse that could go a route of ground. (Big Drama certainly doesn't fit that bill, and his pre-race antics at Pimlico only hurt his cause further.) I have always wondered what the outcome of the Woodward would have been had Nick Zito's entry in the Woodward been Commentator rather than Da' Tara. (Yes, I know he was retired by that point, but he's the type of horse that I'm thinking of.)
