She has done this more than once--finished in 22 and change, and for the poster that said pace will beat her--she runs the same--fast pace or slow, and it may not be redundant to say that a closer getting up by a head after the speed crawls may excel a pace horse lasting by the same ..

As far as competition, no one can say with a straight face that the male division is any different except for their parts ...

And yes, with the exception of Summer Bird going shorter than his best--someone had to win those G1s ...

actually, i'm a bit of a cheerleader of hers as well. but my issue is with any poster who acts as tho zenyatta is a great horse whilst rachel is a bum-or as someone wrote, the east coast version of pepper's pride. that i find ridiculous, whether pointed toward the filly or the mare.

as for the male division....some say that it's not as tough right now-so why is rachel the only one who can claim a win? if it's sooo easy, why isn't anyone proving that point? why isn't anyone else showing that it can be done?
