Anyone else a Zenyatta fan? She's an undefeated TB mare, and inspite of some negativity from skeptics, she won the Breeders Cup Classic this year! Whoot! This may have been her last race, as well, as she may be retiring; but what a way to retire!

I LOVE HER! I was just talking about how amazing she is to my friends who are definitely not filly people. I watched her beat those boys like they were standing still in the Breeder's Cup Classic.

GO FILLIES! So glad Mike Smith had a great ride. I really like him.

I wish Racheal Alexandra's owner and trainer had faced up with Zenyatta; I think his excuse of avoiding the synthetic tracks was sad. I think he was just afraid! If Zenyatta does run a couple more times, I hope these two girls can run together! Either way, I love Zenyatta, and a part of me hopes they do retire her now, because she couldn't possibly top her last race!

It is amazing to have to spectacular fillies in the same year.
Both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta are nothing more than simply magnificent!
There is a lot of debate these day about synthetic track surfaces and I am sure over the years to come there will be more!

Nevertheless, these two girls are superb athletes!!!!

Sorry, I meant tosay that Zenyatta reminded me of the queenly presence that Ruffian always displayed. Really think Zenyetta is the horse that should be horse of the year. Besides, I'm still mad at Calvin Borel for ditching Mind That bird for Rachel in the Preakness. I honestly think that Mind that bird could have won the preakness if Calvin had been on him. They had something almost magical between them and Calvin threw that away. Even if he did win the Preakness with Rachel, I still think it's a question of ethics. What if Ron Turcotte had ditched Secretriet in the middle of his Triple Crown bid? Maybe big Red would never have achieved greatness the way he did. A rider really has alot to do with how a horse performs.

yeah, when you ride a horse alot, you learn exactly how he runs...I'm glad that Zenyatta had pretty much the same jockey every time...she's a great horse, and her rider makes her even better because he know's how she rolls...

^ Agreed...what a powerful race she ran.

Zenyatta has won her first two starts this year too!!! I'm super excited for another BCC...I wonder if she can do it again...and prove to all the doubters who really did deserve the HOTY award last year.
