NO way could RA lay back and win No matter what the pace is and Zenyatta has done just that.

14 times she went to post any did just what it took to win, if they went 5 lenghts faster she would of won.

Zenyatta got 1 to 3 pounds where RA got 5 and just hung on to win.

Zenyatta closed the final 1/4 in 22 and change to overhaul this years Classic field and they were not backing up.

I would of liked to have seen her run at Churchill Downs, but it rained and her owners didn't want to take the chance.

Jess Jackson stayed at home and played it safe, even though RA has shown she will run on synthetics.

Jerry Moss said today that Zenyatta was done racing after what was her biggest highlight and when asked if he thought she should be horse of the year he said "She is his horse of the year and thats all that counts to him and his wife." Pure Class!

You sound like the folks that call WFAN sports talk radio in NY..If you dare suggest A Rod is great it must mean you are dissing Jeter.. They are both awesome and your guess that Rachel wants no part of 10f's or if she could handle zenyatta on dirt or rubber is just an opinion that will never be able to be justified on the track.. Rachel will get 10f's and currently nothing in the male or female ranks can touch her as Zenyatta is retired. Understand she still has to winter well and come back that isnt always a sure thing

I think the debate is great for our sport. At least we are in the headlines for something very positive.
