It would be the ultimate revenge if War Echo did upset Zenyatta.

Not saying it's possible, but if the unforeseen did happen, it would be ironic.

I have a better idea, the utlimate revenge for Rachel would be for her to do it herself, not Zardana or War Echo. Ect...

I was amused by the way the DRF has framed Zenyatta's win streak "at an elite level" in order to exclude the New Mexico horse from the likes of Citation and Cigar:

On Friday, she can match the feat of 16 straight wins at an elite level that has characterized the careers of Citation, Cigar, and Mister Frisky.

Calling it a "feat" instead of a "record" is clever, too.

Didn't Mister Frisky rack up most of those wins in Puerto Rico?

I had the same impression.

I guess El Commandante racetrack is a candidate for permanent venue for the Breeder's Cup.

The announcer for the Apple Blossom put a new twist on it. He said Zenyatta had equaled the record of 16 straight wins of horses running in unrestricted races, joining Cigar and Citation. Adios Mr. Frisky.
