She faces, however, a very weak crop of 3 yo fillies. She almost got beat in the Preakness where she really had to race in a slow mile and 3/16s. The male crop this year is nothing to write home about. She has a lot to prove to be in the ranks of Ruffian or Genuine Risk.
Also, the track surface at Belmont has been decidedly fast. You can’t compare her time with Ruffian’s whose running time was on a different surface 34 years ago.
Just sayin’.

RA has set 5 new records in 4 graded stakes: Golden Rod (new time record), Martha Washington (new time record), Kentucky Oaks (new winning margin record), Mother Goose (new time record- FASTER than Ruffian) (new winning margin record- previously held by Ruffian). She was also the only horse in Preakness history to win from the far outside position. She rarely gets the whip. How fast would she be if asked more? Still young, what will she be like when she matures? AMAZING!

Me too. It would be a pretty close race. It seems like RA doesn’t perform he best when she’s being challenged. Big Z would definitely give her a run for her money.
