Rachel and Zenyatta would have drowned Banshee Breeze.
Andy, based on what? Class, speed? I have BB pp's right here and it all looks pretty similar.

If it makes you feel any better ... I'd probably take Banshee Breeze and the points.



She always fired ... and even her 3 defeats at the end were ok. She got beat giving Beautiful Pleasure 11 pounds at 10 furlongs in slop for the first one - Keeper Hill rode a good rail at Keeneland while BB was wide in the Spinster loss - the BC Distaff loss at Gulfstream wasn't bad either.

careerwise, sure. and banshee breeze was a hell of a lot more consistent. she always showed up as you said. im just saying when they met, a neck separated them in the cca oaks and kentucky oaks. keeper hill finished in front of her in the mother goose and spinster. behind her in the personal ensign and bc distaff.

i just dont think they were that far off of each other when keeper hill was on her game. banshee breeze was always on her game.

Historically speaking, Banshee Breeze and Keeper Hill were both not much.

From the summer of their 3yo filly season on ... Banshee Breeze was vastly superior in every way.

The Spinster result was all about Keeneland's track bias. Banshee Breeze was 4 wide on both turns over a rail favoring race track .. Keeper Hill slipped up the rail and I believe was rail, rail on both turns ... Frankel praising it as one of the best rides.

Keeper Hill might be a 3 time Grade 1 winner .. but I think it's a huge insult to Banshee Breeze to say they had the same ability.
