She is amazing, but do you really think she could catch Rachel?

She won the race but I was not impressed for a big fav like that. But she is still undefeated.

Even though Mike took her to the Hotdog stand, that last 1/16th was unbelievable. ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Zenyatta has a long, ground covering stride. She can make up a lot of ground in a hurry. Last years BC Race race really proved she is a champion. Gutted it out yesterday, but her class got the job done.
She certainly has a unique presence about her on the track. Stops looks around, ok lets move on again. When she is on the track she knows it her time.

I actually was more impressed with this particular race than her last couple of races. When I saw the lazy fractions I was beginning to wonder if Smith might have his hands full. Tremendous effort by both horses at the wire. Most handicappers understand closing into a 48.84 half is not an easy task, especially at 1 1/16 mile race. Zenyatta seems to accelerate more and more once she starts picking up horses. Very exciting race for all fans to view.

Zenyatta is a great horse I'd like to see her and Rachel Alexandra run in a race together. I don't think it's going to happen this year. However if both stay in training through the winter I think The Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park would be a great race for these future Hall of Famer's to run in.

Zenyatta is a freak......as is Rachel. I am eager to see the Zen master in the Classic this year. If she wins there, I'll be very impressed.
