I think there was a PG1985 interview, if I recall, where he mentioned that every runner beaten by Rachel from the Woodward, Preakness, and KY Oaks all won their next starts in Grade I company.

I think he said the average winning margin for those horses combined was something like 14 lengths, too, and one of them did it, winning by 25 lengths, carrying 170 pounds over jumps on an alternate portion of a dirt course giving the rest of the field a quarter mile headstart and running uphill both ways...and her rider said that horse is even better on the turf too!

That's just one of the really exceptional things that I pulled from my memory to clearly indicate how superior Rachel is in every way, about everything.
