Try Ruffian or Priceless Gem.........Rachel is still a baby............
Ruffian was the best female ever....Rachel would have NEVER gotten her nose past Ruffian on any part of the track...
greatness is measured by the competition, who exactly has this filly beat?
how many track records set?
Bigger sample needed to make a valid comparison.That field yesterday
was real bad.Horses with no excuses didn't fire.
All in all,she is impressive.Would love to see her in The Belmont.
Would RA have won the Kentucky if entered this year ?
when will they announce whether or not she will go at the belmont?
If you ever saw Ruffian, you'd never make that statement.
Ruffian never (or hardly ever) switched leads. Honestly, the speed, size, scope and raw talent of Rachel would make Ruffian look ordinary, especially at a mile and a quarter or longer.
dont agree with this but love the horse racing discussions and interest that this great horse is brining the sport. so keep it up!
Ruffian set so many track records she was just so much faster (and the kind of early speed that you like Flamingo) that she would crush Rachel, Rachel would not be able to pounce after rating as she would be cooked being a lenght behind Ruffian for 1 mile...and Ruffian would not slow down enough to allow the now dead tired Rachel to catch up...ruffian just too much early speed and carried that speed to multiple track records..Rachel has never come close ot a track record. plus lets not forget Rachel has been beaten soundly already in her career..she has a nice streak of 5 in a row..Ruffian was never beaten until she broke her leg..although I think Foolish Pleasure would have won that race I like colts over fillies in almost every situation in American racing..
Ruffian was the best female ever....Rachel would have NEVER gotten her nose past Ruffian on any part of the track...
does nobody remember azeri?
no mine that bird would have caught her also...that Derby run was themost incredible things Ive ever seen in horse racing..
You guys are really nuts to think that Rachel Alexandra is the greatest of all time.
You really must not know horses. :LMAO
Remember Rags to Riches beat Curlin? In the Belmont? How did that happen? Why wasn't she the greatest? I will tell you why..That horse was so loaded with Procaine and dosed with an unbelievable amount of steroids. She never ran again....She is also giving birth to horses with 2 tails 5 legs.
Champion Fillies of all time....Ruffian, Go For Wand, Zenyatta, The Unbridlled Filly who was undefeated.
Zenyatta is the biggest, most versatile filly I ever saw. She will never be beat.
