Yes, defeating Gulch and King's Swan was the immortal equivalent of vanquishing Man O'War and Secretariat. Why go West?

Gulch and Kings Swan were probably better than any horse Zenyatta or RA has faced

how do you get rushed in 7 months?

I dont think its a stretch to say Winning Colors and maybe Goodbye Halo were as well.

you're kidding, right? rachel wasn't in training the last seven months. cella came calling, so they tried to bring her back from doing nothing to race-ready in a short amount of time. so, now they'll bring her along and race her when she's ready, rather than trying to force their schedule on her.

After midnight and after a long day of racing, the titles won 20 years ago start to blur. But hey, Sparky, you must have had lump in your throat yesterday while watching Zenyatta roar past the great Dance To My Tune.
