I just hope that Rachel Alexandra doesn't wind up like Toshma. What I mean is I hope that Rachel isn't bred to a sire who isn't capable of producing very good race horses.
I assume that Curlin can produce at least "average" horses on the race track; but I am disappointed that Rachel wasn't bred to Curlin after he was proven to be a good sire.

No producing a grade 1 winner will not confirm Rachel's greatness. She confirmed her greatness on the race track. The reason I care who Rachel is bred to because I feel she should be afforded the best possible opportunity to produce a top quality race horse. Remember just because you get a mare pregnant does not mean she will be able to produce that baby. Many mares lose their foals and thus every breeding opportunity is precious. In last weeks blood horse they ran an article that explained how most great female race horses were able to produce top quality runners. According to the article, Grade 1 winning filly's/mares have historically produced more top quality horses than non-graded winning filly's/mares. The article goes on to explain that the top quality mares who were able to produce the best offspring were the ones afforded the opportunity to be bred to proven sires. In the case of the great Toshma, Toshma was not bred to a proven sire, in fact she was bred to a sire who was proven to not produce great offspring. Sadly this meant that her bloodline would not be carried on because she was not able to produce a horse worthy of carrying on her family line. I just want a talented filly/mare, which no one can deny Rachel of being, to have the best possible opportunity to produce a top quality race horse. Why? Because she deserves that chance. Not to mention this would be the best way for her to pass on her genes. I would love nothing more than to one day see Rachel's great grand children running around on the race track. Perhaps Rachel will not produce any horse who can win a grade 1, but she certainly deserves the best opportunity to do so in my opinion. This is why I care and this is why I wish she were being bred to a proven sire.

I wonder how often, if at all, a super horse being bred to a super horse produces a baby super horse. How many examples do we have? Sounds like a project for Drug S.
The good news is the babies from Rachel and Zen will never know how much pressure they will have on their little heads to be exceptional runners and how much the world will be watching every move they make. I'll go on record as saything this. I hope one has a filly and the other one has a colt. I don't think I could bare the two little ones racing against each other in the same race one day. I know it could still happen but not as great a chance if ones a filly and ones a colt. If they raced together in the same race can you imagine the threads being started on that bit of news? More Rachel vs. Zen threads. No thanks. Anywho, here's hoping both Rachel and Zen have an easy go of it being first time moms. May they stay healthy and have healthy babies.
