Holy cow.  I was watching her on the track, she was "sauntering" in the back of pack, looked like she was out for a stroll,

 

.............then BOOM!  She kicks into gear and wins it.

I'm almost out of breath right now.  LOL!

she beat the best US boys, and the Euro boys.

Undeafeated,  14 wins,     8 G1's     3 G2s

 

Horse of the year?  No!   horse of the decade, I agree with mike smith

I can NOT believe it. I can NOT believe it. She looked totally outclassed, looked as if she might even be declining in form. I can NOT believe it. Somebody's been funnin' us all.

Congratulations to Zenyatta & nice picking by her legion of followers.  I am a fan but I considered her a bad bet at 5-2.

One for the ages - 1st filly or mare to win the BC Classic!

Back to the woodshed for me.

Mmm-mmm-MMM...

Boy, this racing form doesn't taste too bad with a little grey poupon.  I would have preferred crow cacciatore but my local Italian restaurant was out of crow.

 

I wish Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra could share the honor of Horse of the Year.  Rachel did have the tougher campaign overall, but Zenyatta just thumbed her nose at the boys!  They're both champs.

She ran an amazing race and thank god Mike Smith didn't choke!  She's simply amazing...
