  2. I posted that for all the Rider fans who were tearing out their hair and screaming “who the #$@% watches horseracing!!!”

    That being said….Go Rider Go!

  6. Better cherish that view…
    If the anti-establishment types have their way, in December, at Copenhagen—-that will be the sports car of the future….that’s if ya have the room in your cave.

  9. I’d like to see the animal rights zealots come after the rich Arabs who cherish horses and hunting. I wanna see one try. Please!
    They’re just another class of “useful idiot” who will go under the bus when the real tyrants consolidate power.

  10. Why is this horse wearing socks and why only on the back legs?
    Some sort of horsey compression stockings or braces?

  12. What stands out is the sheer effort – in the first quarter of a mile she was bobbing her head like a horse straining and laboring in the home stretch, and she just kept digging. What a magnificent filly.

  15. Can you watch that without becoming misty-eyed?
    What a magnificent creature! What HEART!

  17. blanks, come here and I’ll pee in your ear
    just have to luv that finish
    and what a gorgeous animal she is

  19. EBD – they always run her from last position. She was just loping along waiting for the command to open up that stride. She’s 17.2 hands high – a monster.

  20. Well that was one for the ages. Amazing how Smith angled her to the far outside and it almost looked as though he waited too long, but once she was there WOW. Girl power wins the day at Santa Anita.

  24. My wife asked me why I was watching horse racing. I said “its the Breeders Cup!!”. She took one look at Zenyata and sat down to watch the race. She had tears streaming down her face when the race was over. That’s why I watch horse racing I said.

  26. Now that my husband has sufficiently embarrassed me..Yes, I did cry, she was/is so beautiful but then I was angry because TSN cut everything off to put the STUPID Football game on…sorry football fans..there are 50 channels for that and I just wanted to see the interviews. Zenyatta is truly awesome!!

  27. Zenyatta is the female version of Secretariat. His Kentucky Derby win was almost identical to her win today where they were both dead last for a good part of the race only to stun the field in the end. Fantastic!

  30. Holy smokes, Kate. Kenyatta looked big to me, but I had no idea that she’s 17.2 hands.
    Years ago I bought a four-year old 17.3 hand thoroughbred who had supposedly been too big to race – alas, he wasn’t so big that I couldn’t pitch over his head flat onto my back in front of a grandstand. I’m still trying to catch my breath.
    On the plus side, he just stood there looking concerned…

  31. Great recovery!
    I read the threads from the bottom up so I didn’t know how it was going to end, but I had a suspicion …

  33. Well, I was actually watching the race because of the pre-race newspaper items I’d been reading about in the paper. And saw the horse that nearly got away. Yes, I know nothing about horses and thought, “that man did an awesome job.” Anyway, they were showing the pre-game stuff on TSN2. Thanks to hi def. (And PVR so I could watch the race later, besides on internet.)

  34. I watched the race just prior to the start of the Riders game. She is an amazing piece of horse flesh! What a treat watching that.
    Great looking horse too.

  35. I just watched it again paying particular attention to Zenyatta. This lone philly in a field of colts at the beginning of the race seemed to be saying “you boys go on ahead and I’ll catch up later”.
    She did.

  37. The heat is on for Rachel Alexandra to PROVE she is the queen filly. After actually watching Zenyatta run, I’m no longer convinced that Rachel is the best horse. The little dance Zenyatta does with her front legs is a kill. She is 100% personality and awesome talent. I hope the Amazon girls get the chance to run against one another. By the way, I’m a Mine that Bird fan, I love the little gelding. He just can’t run on synthetic surfaces. Keep him on the dirt Wooley!
