Looked even more impressive the second time I watched it.

She was obviously running against the clock and the wind ... but that performance was really something.... to say the very least.

I'd love to see her hook up with Zenyatta on a real dirt track at 9 furlongs later in the year.

Speed always has the advantage and she has more than Zenyatta. Since Rachel's owner thinks fillies shouldn't run against boys, I guess we won't see her in the Classic this year. Since she'll be in the Distaff, Zenyatta will be in the Classic this year. That's going to be her best chance to win another BC race.

It just too bad that we will never know how good she is. Owner stated boys run against boys, girls against girls.

With the handicap division this year, she could beat the boys in the Classic.

since the best older horse in the country is a female...you can't really knock them if they take on zenyatta.

two best horses racing right now (til the next tc winner wins the derby tomorrow ) are fillies.

well, one is...the other presumable top horse hasn't run in over six months.
