Rachel would probably get eaten up in either sexes' Classic ,
however if she faced Zenyatta now, with a bunch of allowance horses filling out the field, I think Rachel would run off with it.

I dont see the point of Zenyatta shipping elswhere when their prize is on the BC at SA. If RA is going to run in the BC Classic then wouldnt it be nice if she gets a synthetic prep. If not she will always have the "never ran on synthetic" excuse if she loses in the BC this year.

you ought to know by now that there's ALWAYS an excuse. now...whether it's a good excuse, or a believable one is another story.

She won an N2L allowance at six furlongs, running the third slowest race of her career. And that was polytrack, not Pro-Ride. This means nothing regarding whether or not she'll be able to handle the Santa Anita surface.
