You throw around great like nerf balls.

Rachel and Zenyatta would have drowned Banshee Breeze.

Andy, based on what? Class, speed? I have BB pp's right here and it all looks pretty similar.

If it makes you feel any better ... I'd probably take Banshee Breeze and the points.



She always fired ... and even her 3 defeats at the end were ok. She got beat giving Beautiful Pleasure 11 pounds at 10 furlongs in slop for the first one - Keeper Hill rode a good rail at Keeneland while BB was wide in the Spinster loss - the BC Distaff loss at Gulfstream wasn't bad either.

THanks for posting this, I tryed 2 LOL.
Im kinda suprised a throwback like Serling would say Rachel and Z would have destroyed this one... I have a list of about 15 more just in the last 15 years... A thread is coming tomorrow.

was banshee breeze that much better than keeper hill? she was more consistent, but when both were on their game i dont think much separated them.

careerwise, sure. and banshee breeze was a hell of a lot more consistent. she always showed up as you said. im just saying when they met, a neck separated them in the cca oaks and kentucky oaks. keeper hill finished in front of her in the mother goose and spinster. behind her in the personal ensign and bc distaff.

i just dont think they were that far off of each other when keeper hill was on her game. banshee breeze was always on her game.

Wasn't Banshee Breeze's performance in the Apple Blossom in '99 more impressive than either of Zenyatta's trips there?
Of course, that doesn't have to mean your statement is incorrect, but Zenyatta doesn't exactly "drown" very many horses, and I think Banshee Breeze might be a whole lot better than some horses Zenyatta hasn't beaten by much.

To me, she also seems better than a couple of horses that beat RA this year. I'm not saying I would bet Banshee Breeze over those two, but it doesn't seem like that big of a stretch to compare her on even terms with those two. Does it?.
