I like the 2 out of 3 idea but I wonder if the track would find it viable?
Still, this could be one of the most challeging race offs since depression era when underdog 'Seabuscut' upset Triple Crown fav 'War Admiral' in 1938!
Hope fully there won't be any surprise snow storms to contend with @Oakland in April but then, "You never can tell...."
OK satire aside, as it stands now, who do you like?

ONCE IN A LIFETIMEWhat can you compare this to? The excitement. The build up. The comparisons? Whos better Zenyatta or Rachel? Aside of the Aside of Seabiscut Vs War Admiral contest, there have been rivalries over the most recent 35 years, Affirmed/Alydar etc but Rachel and Zenyatta will probably only meet once and you could ask to experts and once would say Zenyatta is the better horse, and the other would say Rachel. This just seems like a once in a lifetime race. 2 superfillys..After the race you will be able to determine if it was the most exciting race of a lifetime

AK: WHAT HORSE WILL BENEFIT FROM TRACK BIAS< COORDINATES< ETC
Wondering is there any advantage to either Zenyatta or Rachel because of Oaklawn Park’s track configuration; not speaking of the surface; but the geometric shape of the track.
After downloading Google Earth picture of Oaklawn Park and presently converting it to a 2D outline drawing at a 1/200th scale.
The dimensions t found are:
• Shortest distance around the turns = 1,290 feet
• Width around the turns = 80 feet
• Width of straightaway = 70 feet
• Turn Radius = 411 feet
• Length of stretch = 1,155 feet
• Length of back stretch = 1,350
• Distance to 1st turn = 195 feet
• Distance to 1st turn at 1 1/8th mile = 855 feet
• Outside straightaway into and exiting each turn = 200 feet*Additionally that the backstretch is an uphill incline and the stretch is a downhill incline.
An Edge is an Edge, Right ???

Tiggs, sounds like you have had happy experience in the winners circle-
Comparing Tracks: Might be hard to believe, but when comparing Oaklawn Park and Santa Anita (Zenyatta's home track), Zenyatta should get the edge in terms of track configuration. The turns will be almost identical, but the straightaways are longer.

Bye the Bye, this is not a match race (one on one) there are other horses in the scheduled Oakland event;
still should be very exciting.
