I don't care one way or other in terms of being a "fan" of either horse...it's just funny to see the nonsense spouted by Zenyatta's fans about Rachel's campaign when if they really want to see a chicken **** campaign all they need to do is look in the mirror. Rachel was a 3YO filly last year running against Triple Crown 3YOs as well as Top Notch older horses. Zenyatta was running in cozy races on synthetics against allowance horses. It's apples to oranges.

I'll say one thing, even though Azeri lost races once she went to Lukas, at least he gave her every opportunity to test herself even though she might have been a bit past her prime. Azeri was multiple times the horse Zenyatta is.

Which top rated older horse did she beat last year? I would like to see your point but she beat a rag/tag group of misfits in the Woodward, until she does I can't agree with your assessment.

She beat the best older horses that were around last year...certainly better than the pumpkins that Zenyatta was beating up on in the Vanity and the Clement Hirsch, except Zenyatta wasn't beating up on them, she was squeaking by against them.

Triple Crown 3 yr olds??? Where were they after the Triple Crown? With the exception of Summer Bird, you couldn't find them with a search warrant.

Top notch older horses?.....Now there's an oxymoron.
