Its my opinion that Rachel is better... just think if she continues to improve and races as a 5 year old, like what Z is now..

But I guess its impossible to prove until they race each other in a real race (not a match race - Rachel would have the obvious advantage). Shoot, when you really think about it they arent even running in the same division (not talking about age or sex).. one runs on turf alternative and one runs on dirt... makes it even harder to compare.

I'll tell ya what, even if Z doesnt race against Rachel... but if Z runs against boys in a grade 1 (hopefully on dirt) and wins, then I'll re-work my opinion (though I still may come up with the same answer).
