I was on the Rachel side of the Rachel vs. Zenyatta (who is the better horse) issue. However, after what I saw yesterday, I can honestly say there is no way to decipher which horse would win matched up. But horse of the year, which is an award based on what a horse did this year, should go to Rachel. I honestly believe that if it were a forethought and ambition from the beginning, Rachel could have won the triple crown. And I also believe Zenyatta can beat Rachel in the context of a normal race at classic distance with the main discrepancy obviously being the surface. But when you cancel the woulda/coulda/shouldas, Rachel wins HOY>
