By the way, it is faulty to think both horses make up are identical. Rachel runs hard all the time, it doesn't matter if she wins by 20 or by a neck, she only knows one way to run. I think by now we would have learned that speed figs don't apply to a horse like Zenyatta, she does what is necessary to win and she did just that in the AB, well within herself.
