For the umpeffingteenth time, no one's dismissing her or saying she's overrated. But she's won all of one truly quality race, and she did it on her home track on a surface many dirt horses don't take to. I don't think anyone's "ducking" anyone, but Zenyatta's connections have mapped out a completely chickenshit done-to-death schedule for her, and the onus is not on a dirt horse to prove herself against a synthetic horse on synthetics. Dirt is the proving ground, the equalizer, and that's why I wouldn't ship Rachel west either.
