Best Victory over Males

[Thunder Gulch]

You can shoot holes in all of them if you want, but I think I'd take Rachel's Haskell because she beat the Belmont/Travers winner, and it was such a dominating and fast performance. Was it aided by the track?

Rags beating Curlin is great, agree. For her to hold that monster off was really something.

Zenyatta's was great, but it is just so difficult to translate everyone's form to that surface. The best names in the race were turf and dirt horses. Gio Ponti was the turf champ, Rip was a turf horse, Summer Bird was the 3yo champ for his dirt effort.

Rachel's Woodward was amazing considering the fractions she faced and the way she put away challenge after challenge. Holding on by a diminishing head vs Macho Again doesn't come close to telling the story.
