Obviously afraid to face Rachel..

Actually it is finally a good time to say:

She has done enough

I'm surprised that none of the Sheiks or other Big shots have never offered to buy her.

I'm sure they have, does Jerry Moss really need the money?

That's why he still owns her.

Rachel should set out to do the same next year... win the BC Classic on her preferred racing surface(CD).

Breed her to the Green Monkey.

That I want to see. RA win the Classic against the males only getting 1 to 3 pounds and she wont get the 1 1/4.

I think Rachel in the Mile dirt would be perfect.

unconventional or conventional.. Is it conventional slop or just slop?

randallscott35 · #10 11-08-2009, 04:36 PM

Rachel doesn't need slop to win.

I don't believe she is afraid to face Rachel. How can anyone even say that. One of Zenyatta's best races, speed figure wise was in the apple blossum on the dirt. She just won a race with 8 grade 1 winners that represent 17 grade 1's. She beat all that Rachel beat in the 3 year old division as well as a far better crop of older horses than Zenyatta faced. 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?

Just my point.

The both have great running styles...however if they met it would require a tremendous amount of speed to soften Rachel up and there lies the problem...she is the fastest filly in the land bar none and she would set the fractions required to leave enough in the tank to win easily. Don't let the Classic fool you..it would be no contest what so ever.

Scat OUT

Handi you have done enough

The only way I can see them reconsidering is if she comes back to challenge Cigar and Citation's win steak record.

As a horseracing fan one can hope for a short 4 race campaign culminating at CD next year.

Did Personal Ensign or Lady's Secret win the Breeders Cup Classic? Nope. That must mean Zenyatta is better than they were.
