Horses often show more in defeat than they do in victory. Lukas gave her a chance to lose. Compare it to testing in college, where the tests are designed so that nobody can get a perfect score, and the scores are graded on a curve. You learn little about a student's true capabilities when they get a perfect score. One person's 100 is not the same as another's per se.
If you put Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra together on the racetrack, especially in a situation that is reasonably fair for both, you will learn much more about them than we did this past Saturday. In all likelihood, both will emerge with their reputations furthered.

Good post, I hate when the best horses avoid each other, I mean shouldnt they have a championship day at the end of the year or something, the sport should think about doing that, fans would be happy as well.
of course Azeri proved she was good, when she got to NYRA of course
