as for her having a nice go at 3, but not being undefeated, she was undefeated at 3. not in her career, but last year, her year was just as perfect as zen's. and with more starts.
As far as weight goes ( some will say that its not a factor) it is considered that 1 pound equals one lenght when the assignment is above 121 and the distance is over 1 1/8 miles. Zenyatta just seems to be right at home going 1 1/4, while I see RA being best at 1 1/8 and shorter.

Yesterday RA ran her race (I havent looked at the numbers) and it looked like all of her races, except no one ran a new top to beat her and she ran her same race.
