I don't think Z could beat even the moderate crew that has been taking turns out there are year (Einstein, Rail Trip etc) but if she did, and beat Sea the Stars -esp if he ran huge in defeat- I'd give the nod to the mare.

I agree. The Classic looks like it could be the best field ever assembled if the Europeans come over. It is sort of a shame Rachel is not running in it because if Sea The Stars came over and Rachel and Zenyatta were also in there than the race would be incredible. How funny would it be if Mine That Bird got a rail trip again and won the Classic against those horses.
