Uh, that's not exactly what I said or meant.

If you could put both of them as 3yos in a race, I have little doubt WC would beat Rags pretty handily. Talent wise, I'd go with WC.

What I was trying to say is that I don't think we saw the full measure of how good Rags actually is/was. Whether or not she would continue to develop until she was better than WC, I can't say really. My guess is not, but I could have seen it happening before all the nonsense started happening with her.
