She gave 13 to 18 lbs. to the competition. So little was mentioned of it at the time, but it's become a topic of interest. Can't imagine why.

Funny you mention a race named for Zenyatta. The New Orleans race was created for Rachel. Your point?

Rachel is out of restricted company. Hello, weights.

Most horses don't get stakes named after them after a few days of "retirement" but SA and Cal in general pulled out all the stops trying to sway horse of the year voters...it didn't work.....Meanwhile if she's the second coming as many say she is, 140 sounds about right against these tin cans.
