I'd bet my lungs on Zenyatta against her on that crap until I see a race from RA on it that impresses me.

On real dirt, I'd give a very strong edge to RA with her natural speed. Zenyatta's lone dirt win came at the expense of the lousy Brownie Points - Ginger Punch was in there but didn't fire - and Zenyatta's final time wasn't as impressive Tiag-slow's in winning the Oaklawn Park Cap on the same card.
