Wonder why Jerry forgot to mention the fact that the eastern filly wouldn't stand a chance of holding off that Z-Train in a classic 10f contest at Churchill...

i was asking that in regards to year end voting, and jerry browns take on what occurred, not what anyone wished had occurred. they didn't face each other. imaginative scenarios of who would do what to whom had they meant should have no place in the discussion. based on the years' racing, rachel accomplished more than zenyatta.

I am sure its been mentioned or asked in the first three pages, but we all know that Brown advises people on horses sales, does he have a stake in this outcome?

RA gets HOY and history remembers undefeated Zenyatta as the fans race horse.

RA has to do alot in the future to erase what Zenyatta did in her broad picture of races. Zenyatta is a closer that managed to retire undefeated and overcome all pace conditions that were thrown at her and finished by beating the males in the Breeders Cup Classic at 1 1/4 miles which at this point RA is suspect without getting weight.

Yes she has alot to overcome in her 4 year old campain.

Lets revisit it this time next year after RA has picked her spots and the BC is on dirt. Will she still be the same world beater that alot of people think she is, or will she be the great 3 yo Filly she was.
