head to head, rachel would win because of their running styles. as for the ten furlongs, i don't think she would have a proble. as for pace pressure, rachel is far from a need the lead type-altho she has won from up front, she most certainly has won from a stalking position more than once. zenyatta is one dimensional, whereas rachel is anything but. that said, zenyatta is a very nice mare, altho you have to wonder if she will ever pay the price for her come from behind style.
