On synth, Zenyatta would beat her, not because Zenyatta moves up, but because everyone else seems to move down on those surfaces. But nothing is for certain.

but...zenyatta has wins on multiple surfaces, while rags does not. of course rags wasn't able to run much past her belmont score, so who knows what might have been? but i'd say a horse who has a 9 start, 9 win streak, on two surfaces is nothing to sneeze at. and i don't think rags could beat her in a match up. of course, that's pure speculation.
zenyatta beat a deep field in the bc distaff. regardless of the surface she was on, she ran a heck of a race-and it certainly wasn't just dirt horses in there against her.
