because she has strecthed out and looked impressive doing so. plus, i believe distance is a factor for "rachel". i don't think she will go more than 9 furlongs and hold on against zenyatta. heck, if the pace is fast she might get caught at a mile and 1/16 but that shorter distance helps rachel out. yeah, zenyatta has won at the distance but her best race by far was at 10 furlongs. some of the shorter distances were closer races. when they finally found the guts to send her to a big race with classic distance she won like no one could beat her. that horse can run all day from what i've seen, i can't say the same for rachel.
