I disparaged only the horses who have been finishing 2nd to her.

However, one has every right to disparage several of her performances. Her win yesterday - which should generate no more than a 95 Beyer - was not impressive at all to me.

I was a lot more impressed with her previous victory over Brownie Points.

The facts are Zenyatta is every bit the champion Rachel is, and in my opinion, she's better.
Do you really think that z could beat Summer Bird at 9-12 furlongs on real dirt?

There are a lot of horses I would wonder whether she could beat at 9-12 furlongs on real dirt, but Summer Bird is not one of them--nor is ANY horse racing today ...

You would have to reach in time and quality to find a FEW that I would question that she could beat, but what is out there today, she does beat-damn the Beyers .

It was a great period when folk could read a stopwatch and interpret how a track played on their own .

Now some have to wait for Bias to tell them how fast or slow a race and a horse are .
