Zenyatta just got up the other day in the last steps, do you honestly think that she will reel in Rachael after 24 48 fractions that she will set on an uncontested loose lead? Like I said it will settle nothing.
but isnt that why E and EP types are better than closers as race horses, I have always felt that way. Just because Zenyatta has collapsed every pace scenario does not change that, she is a bit of a freak in that regard.
