Her greatness was solidified when she beat the boys at the classic distance of 1 1/4 miles and that my friend is what RA doesnt want to do at equal weights.

track must have been some kind of slow, with that pace to come home a shade under 13 and open up, that means her rivals really must have flew home after that demanding pace.

Nice to see her win again, is the Whitney next now?

Zenyatta only spotted the boys 3 pounds in the Classic and I was refering to RA racing Zenyatta at equal weight at 1 1/4.

RA had a nice go as a 3 yo, but I still dont see undefeated in her PPs.

Nah, but when your argument is essentially "Rachel's nice but she's not UNDEFEATEDD!!!1!!!11!!!" it's too easy to point out the lameness.

So when did Zenyatta race RA at equal weight at 1 1/4 then? What am I missing here?

not much of a difference, but don't they go 126/121 in the classic as far as weight goes? also, granted that the classic was definitely zenyatta's best field she faced, doesn't it mean something that gio ponti hasn't won since? summer bird ran third, who rachel beat by eight earlier in the year. i don't think the classic was any more difficult than the woodward, and rachel was a 3 yo, whereas zenyatta was five at the time. i don't think pointing to winning that race means a thing versus winning against older in the woodward.
as for her having a nice go at 3, but not being undefeated, she was undefeated at 3. not in her career, but last year, her year was just as perfect as zen's. and with more starts.

In Breeders Cup Classic, older males carry 126 and older females 123. 3YOs get a four pound allowance based on their age.

As far as weight goes ( some will say that its not a factor) it is considered that 1 pound equals one lenght when the assignment is above 121 and the distance is over 1 1/8 miles. Zenyatta just seems to be right at home going 1 1/4, while I see RA being best at 1 1/8 and shorter.

Yesterday RA ran her race (I havent looked at the numbers) and it looked like all of her races, except no one ran a new top to beat her and she ran her same race.
