Zenyatta would make Rachel Alexandra wish she was never born ... She's a better horse. Rachel Alexandra is a fabulous race horse, there's no getting around it, but Zenyatta is a running machine.
At a mile and an eighth, I think it would be quite easy for Rachel Alexandra. Those championship fillies that get into the race and have that high cruising speed are very hard to run down. In order for Zenyatta, in my opinion, at a mile and an eighth at Churchill Downs, to beat Rachel Alexandra, she'd h...

He ran closer than any 3-year-old in the country did to Rachel Alexandra (losing by a length in the Preakness) and he showed up in every Triple Crown race. The most he has been beat has been 3ž lengths (in the Goodwood, his last start here on Oct. 10). He has shown up every time.
I think it's the most important thing that has happened this week ... If she were to win the Breeders' Cup, I think they should give Rachel Alexandra and her both Horse of the Year just for both promoting racing.
It is that close of a call ... Duke of Mischief's fifth-place finish in the Haskell behind Rachel Alexandra (winner by six lengths) and Summer Bird was one of his best efforts. Being just a length behind Summer Bird, who is the top 3-year-old male in the country, warrants his status as the morning-line ...
Well, obviously, Macho Again is a very nice horse ... He's definitely one of the horses to beat. But I think (Rachel Alexandra) was pushed several times (in the Woodward) before he had his run at her. She was definitely softened up quite a bit for him to get closer to her than I was.
Racing fans around the world have made it clear that they would like to see Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta face each other and the best horses from the U.S. and Europe in the Breeders' Cup Classic
