She beat synthetic specialists and the best dirt horse in addition to the Euros. Now she was lightly raced (4 races to RA's 7) but do you really think she couldn't have put up a more formidable challenge to RA in the Woodward then Macho Again?
And one more thing. Zenyatta was the Champion. Why does so many fans think that SHE should have came to HER? Look, maybe there was some ducking going on on both sides. But RA and Zenyatta in a 12/14 horse field going 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 (dirt or fake dirt)? I'll go with Zenyatta every time. And you'd have to be foolish to think anything else. Zen's ears were pricked going past Gio Ponti! Have you any idea what that represents?

Nonsense Rachel Alexandra>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zeny atta
