Can Rachel Alexandra still beat Zenyatta for Horse of the Year in 2010?

Absolutely - if Rachel and Zenyatta face off in the Breeders' Cup and Rachel wins decisively, she will grabe that honor.

It's still too early in the racing season and anything can happen. We need to take a wait-and-see attitude.

No way - Zenyatta has done everything and more. She is a world class champion and has already locked up that honor.

It's horse racing and anything is possible, but the odds at this point are big-time in favor of Zenyatta.

zenyatta vs. rachel in breeders cup

if they do meet in the breeders cup that would be great but i think that they'll both be in the breeders cup but not in the same race . i think zenny will go for the bc classic again but i think rachel's trainer will put her in the ladies classic not the bc classic . and i think even if zenyatta does'nt win the bc classic that she still should get horse of the year , i mean she is un deafeated in 17 career starts and she has surpassed the longest winning streak set by cigar and citation and she has beaten the best horses in the world of 2009 .
GO ZENYATTA : )

I personally think Zenyatta will win but that's just me. So, fair and square it will be a fun race to watch! :)

Zenyatta vs Rachel Alexandra

Back in 2009 I would have mortgaged the house to see those two run against each other, but now I just want to have Zenyatta end her racing career without a loss and I don't want to see Rachel beaten again. I think that Rachel will be doing beter and better as the year goes on, but Zenyatta is probably at or beyond her best (not that we'll ever know for sure given her racing style) and racing the two against each other now wouldn't be fair given the age difference. Neither owner now has anything to win from running his mare against the other -- somebody is going to lose and that is not going to be good. They have both more than earned a place in the history books of horse racing.

OK, having pretty much said that Zenyatta isn't as young as she was and Rachel isn't as fast as she was, I still want to see them run against each other. How about just the two and no other horse? It has been done before, just two champions against each other. It would be a race for the decade if not the century.

Rachel Vs. Zenyatta

I have my doubts about RA even having enough points to get into either the Classic or the Lady's Classic, she only has 10 points, putting her in 18th and 14th, respectively. That being said, I don't think she would win either race. She has not faces Grade 1 winners this year, and if she tries to jump up in class that much, she probably won't even hit the board.
