Do you think either of these will remain undefeated for the rest of the year? I'd say that Zenyatta has a better chance since she never leaves California, and Jackson seems more willing to give Rachel a tough challenge.

I'm going with neither! Every time we get a horse that wins a couple in a row, we start proclaiming them the greatest ever, only to be disappointed when they proves themselves not to be the next coming of Secretariat. I'm not saying they both aren't great....just not as great as we hope they will be.

While anything is possible, a repeat of last year's undefeated performance for Zenyatta is likely, until the Breeders Cup. That will be her one challenge. (No, I didn't bet on Indian Blessing thankyouverymuch)

Rachel gets beat at least once. She's still developing, and they're taking more chances.

Zenyatta will lose at the breeders cup, she hasnt had a tough challenge yet. Rachel is an exceptional filly and i can see her becoming a great.

Let's bring this one out of the mothballs, now that their years are done.

Combining categories to focus on general impressions (which is why it totals more than 100%):

59.09% Zenyatta goes undeafeated
41.11% Rachel goes undefeated.
18.18% Neither goes undefeated.

I guess the next question now would be...will Rachel stay undefeated in 2010?

If everything goes well...her training, the races they pick, Calvin's rides, health...yes she will:jump:

Sometimes I get so sick of the negativity surrounding racing and many of the posts here on PA (including myself), but somehow, you usually represent what's good about racing, being a true fan. Thanks! :):):)
