Clearly the best races were Rachel's in 2009. HoY is based on accomplishments not on subjective opinions of who is better.. Shoot, the best horse in 2009 wouldnt have had to race then..Rail Trip might be the most talented horse of 2009..I dont think he is but couldnt I argue with Ron Ellis if he told me Rail trip would kick all there butts?
As for your question I can only speculate..Zenyatta ran once on dirt again i would yield to the subjective Sherriffs as he is probably the only one who thinks he knows with any true reality!
I am not sure if she would have beatin Rachel in the Woodward.. Gun to my head I think Rachel would be lost the Woodward to Zenyatta..Shame Zenyatta wasn't there...
