I hope college life is treating you well. I will always love this video and many others you took the time to do. thank you and best wishes.....I miss her.....
@AnimalsRock4Love aw thank you very much! College is wonderful, especially considering how I'm a 10 minute drive from Zenny... I'm going to go visit her as soon as I get back for the fall semester. You should plan a trip to Kentucky to do some farm tours too! It's a lot of fun :)
well now having read comments and tryd to figure out reply figure i'llcook breakfast to the haters/doubters well you're just wrong to rr23 and others i see here thanks for riding this train with me whoa there's johnny cash sunday morning coming down wish you all were here for pancakes sausage eggs hash browns bis and gravy the ultimate breakfast watching video of the ultimate horse ZENYATTA horse of a lifetime my thanks to rr23 keep on with your good work
well with my limited computer skills i started out with how to reply to rr23and maybe this is it i thought maybe something differnt haha i like my spelling point being i wanted to say to rr23 congrats on her(and mine)horse finally getting the title titles are nothing she is the horse well now isee comments i'll read them and reply but before that i had to say to rr 23 it doesn't matter in equine years or this years awards z was is horse of the decade
@indkeith if you want to fight about which horse was better please take it somewhere else and not comment about it on my vid. It's immature and annoying and I don't want to read it. Thank you.
@rainyrose23 Just like a typical thin-skinned Zen fan.....I could go on ad nauseam about the hyperbole surrounding this horse but I only addressed the absurdity of the "lifetime" comment. Peradventure you should look in the mirror if you want to see immaturity. Thanks and Merry Christmas
@indkeith excuse me? I'm an equine management major at the university of kentucky because I work with all types of racehorses and want to do this for the rest of my life. I love Zenyatta because she's incredible. Secretariat was also incredible. I think it's stupid to fight about which horse is better because there is no fair way to compare them. That person just stated their own personal opinion, so why start an argument about it? Never comment on this vid again. Thank you.
@rainyrose23 This infintile troglodyte's been trashing Zenny on my video too, raving about Zenyatta's imperfections and how she's just a child of publicity, how Secretariat is a legend and she's not, etc... I wouldn't worry about them seeing as though they're obviously a troll out to get Zenyatta's fans on rampage. <33
@BackstretchRunner Thanks Brenna! :) I feel sorry for the people who can't appreciate how good Zenyatta is... they'll probably regret that in 50 years or so.
@indkeith My name is Brenna, thank you. And you obviously have problems with opinions, so as I've told you, you should consider getting over yourself. Grow some respect for others.
@KuifjeLover thank you!! I'm sorry but unfortunately I can't remember the name, or I would have given it to you. :( If I ever remember it I'll write it in the description of the video though! (and if anyone reading this comment knows what the title is, please share!)
Hasn't deafeated a single G1 winning mare this year. Has not raced against a single horse rated in the top 50 this year. has never defeated a single male on real dirt. Most overhyped polytrack specialist in history. Saturday she'll struggle to finish in 5th. Reality check coming in the Classic for this hyped and hidden on SoCal polycrap queen. LOL

well thanks for bearing with my lack of computer skills combined with my taste of carribean music and rum so with a bit of bat juice gotta love her what a race rr after bc will you put together another video? please love this one but there is more thanks for horse of the decade horse of my lifetime ZENYATTA
@paschal421 haha thanks! i'm hoping to make another by January to celebrate her winning Horse of the Year (because she's got to get it this year of course!!) but i'm away at college in kentucky at the moment so I don't have my video camera or editing software. But when I'm at home over break I'll be sure to make one. :)
Hi Rose, I had to turn the sound off so I wouldn't start crying :) but I just had to watch this before she runs her last race in Cali today...she is devastatingly beautiful, isn't she:)
For those reasons, I will always pull and root for Zenyatta. I want to see a Filly do what sadly elduded Ruffian because of her untimely death all those years ago. And I am willing to bet Ruffian would want to see her do it too. I truly think Zenyatta IS Ruffian come back! Beautiful video, spectacular horse. I hope you don't take anything I said the wrong way at all. All I am trying to say is Zenyatta has sparked in me again what I thought was long gone when Ruffian died all those years ago.....
@queenluciaa I agree, Zenyatta is her own self. Not that Ruffian wasn't great, but we shouldn't mix them up because they are so different. I love Zen for who she is and I love Ruffian for who she was, but they are not the same horse.
@rainyrose-Beautiful video!I am sure you have heard a lot by now comparasons between Zenyatta&Ruffian.I will say right off the bat that Ruffian is my all time favorite horse.But I am not going to compare them.What I want to say is that the first time I saw Zenyatta my jaw dropped.Then when I saw her race,I literally shed tears.To me,I was watching Ruffian again.She looks like her,runs like her,and has her spirit.And I hope you know that is the ultimate complitment from a Ruffian fan.
Ruffian looks almost nothing like Zenyatta. She was scrawny, big boned, and nearly coal-black. With a simple white star on her face. While Zenyatta is the stocky behemoth with a blazing white streak across her face. And is a gorgeous dark-bay. And knock-knock. Its Rachel Alexandra, the horse that runs almost exactly like Ruffian, while Zenyatta is completely different. They may look different, but Rach is the closest thing Ruffian. they had the same style.
@paschal421 er thank you! Out of curiosity, why do you keep posting so many comments? Are you trying to reply to other people? Cause if you are, you might want to press the "reply" button otherwise they won't see it.
In my opinion Zenyatta was probably one of the best horses to race in California in a decade.I can't really say she was the BEST in a decade because she hasn't really started outside California w/the exception of a few starts(one of which was a scratch). I would probably rank Rachel,Blame and Quality Road as well as Barbaro higher on a top 5
so i guess i didn't get through a few minutes ago point being thank you for the fabulous video and because of my weak computer skills i just watched it again beautiful video now back to music not police van morrison almost independence day a day late such a lovely video i guess i'll watch it once more as i go into my day see you at the breeders cup thanks
just checking back to this website yeah grammer spelling maybe i want to check those horses out maybe but as we speak i don't remember their names guess i'll see them in bc classic won't remember them then zenyatta guess i should be looking for police cdin reallity looking for van morrison almost independence day yeah a day late but checking this site i saw a beautiful sight zenyatta guess before i go on to music i'll watch it one more time beautiful horse beautiful v ideo thanks
CANDY RIDE & INVASOR WAS bETTER THAN ZENYATTA ......Paulinho running in San Isidro (ARGEnTInA) will be a great horse ran three and won all three by various bodies
@ribalzo wow, grammar... No offense, but I can barely make out what you're saying here. Anyways, that's just your personal opinion- mine is that Zenyatta is one of the greatest horses to ever hit the track, so I made a video about it. Why start a stupid argument when this is just about me artistically expressing myself and my thoughts?
lord i'll never get thru this i am so amazed never dreamt anyone knew zenyatta existed so many interesting comments eventually i'll read them all but for now hoty never should have gone to ra 2010 speaks for itself decade? i stand behind my initial opnion lifetime ALL TIME well maybe i'm slighting secretariat... we'll see thanks again and always to rainyrose23 for the fabulous videos and comments rachel? fuggeddaboudit 2 decades ZENYATTA
@paschal421 wow thanks for all the wonderful comments!!! Zenyatta is something, isn't she? Definitely my all-time favorite racehorse by far. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the comments. :)
You did a remarkable job on this. I could live this moment again over and over and never grow tired of it. She is Horse of the Decade and more. I love your beautiful tribute to her.
A charming article. Who says horses aren't smart. I know better.
''Autistic Boy Connects With Zenyatta
Trainer John Shirreffs says the 6-year-old mare, perfect in 15 races heading into the Apple Blossom Handicap (gr. I) April 9, has "evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined''
A dear friend, Les Hilton, who owned & trained ''Mr. Ed'', & with whom I rode, was looking for a new horse. I asked him what the first thing was that he looked for in a new animal. He said 'a kind eye'. I was surprised at first, but later I realized what he meant. If a horse doesn't have a kind eye, don't walk behind him, he may just kick a fly off your ear!. Same goes for Jess Jackson! Or, as my husband says,'''I wouldn't trust him in an outhouse with a muzzle on!''.
Sorry to be a cynic, but I don't believe the Jackson camp will send RA to the AB in 3 weeks. I'm looking for an excuse like a temp, strain, etc. I'm sorry that such a great filly is in the wrong hands. A strongly marked contrast to way the Mosses & Shirref have handled Zenyatta. Kudos to them.
Irony of ironies, Zardana's rider, David Flores, was on Zenyatta for her first 2 races.
Tears...tears...tears...On this the morning of her first race of the year which happens to be the one prep before facing RA, I am so in a Zenyatta State of Mind. This is the best video ever of our Queen. May she run with utter joy ! Go!! Zenyatta!! Go!!
Man she is a Queen, It would be unforgettable the day I see her, she is soo kind and such a warrior of the track, I send my hope to you, so you can keep flying to the wire :D
thank you! Never be afraid of falling in love with someone or something- because you never know when it's going to end. All the more reason to fall in love with her, if you ask me.
Well, I won't be at the track for the Apple Blossom, but will be at the OTB. I'll think of you, & let's hope RA's owner doesn't find a reason to back out.
BTW....your video was awesome. I'm happy Zenyatta has brought so much joy to you and others! I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with my other comment, but as a lifelong fan, I have seen far too many amazing horses to cast them aside so quickly and disregard their amazing accomplshments. That's all.
Take care and I look forward to more videos from you!
other comment? I dunno if I saw one... haha so I guess I can say for sure that you didn't hurt my feelings! :D If it was about Rachel though, I can definitely say that I love that horse as well, almost as much as I love Zenyatta so I don't mind a bit if people post comments about her on this vid too. I'm very competitive and sometimes it shows, but in reality I love them both. :)
I posted a visceral response about calling her Horse of the Decade or Century, primarily in the defense of other greats I've seen in my lifetime. However, when a person falls in love with a special horse like Zenyatta, it's only natural to call them the best ever, because they are to that person. We all get a little defensive of our favorites, but we are all entitled to our beliefs. Again. your video was superb. They should hire you to make vids like this for tv brooadcast. Yours is better!
I needed a good cry after they robbed her of HOTY so I loaded your video. She is one in a biliion. I'm happy to see more of her in 2010...I just pray every day for perfect health and safe trips no matter where they are or who they are against. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. Thanks Rose for bringing her to me :)
Thank you so much for this comment! It always brings a smile to my face to see nice comments after a hard day's work. :) I agree, I hope they all stay sound and healthy and have a blast racing in 2010.
I've favorited a lot of Zenyatta videos, but this is the first one I've felt compelled to comment on. The music and techniques used are so moving. The 0:24 mark gives me chills... a colossal grace bestows her paddock the privilege of witnessing her strut to the gate before making history. She's a living legend. Thank you!
WOW!! i'm speechless SUCH a WONDERFUL video for the BEST horse in the world for a CENTURY!! When he said UN-BELIEVE-ABLE!! I think he would say the exact same thing for you video!!
@ruffianrulz Horse of the century lol still 90 more years to go....And she only has a year to surpass the many who have already achieved more this century so far. Just because a horse is you favourite horse ever should not cloud judgement. Like my favourite horse is New Approach and he always will be. But i know deep down Sea The Stars and Zarkava were better. Zarkava will always be my fav filly and she is so similar to Zenyatta cept she is not so big.
@cmcgarth1O thanks for your comment but let's keep the arguing to a minimum on the vid please. everyone's entitled to their own opinions and I would really like to avoid another war. thanks.
Hi Rainy..I just read the writeup on Santa Anita opening day yesterday...Zenyatta walked to the winners circle to the tune "Everything she does is magic"Maybe you could put one together for us with that song :)Thanks for all your great tributes to the bestest horse ever
that's a fantastic idea! It's so true. I'll definitely do that. :) I can't promise when it'll be up, but I'll work on it and hopefully finish it soon. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
This is absolutly the best Video from Zenyatta i´ve ever seen! She´s just so amazing .. to me, i think, she´ll always be the best filly. I´m so sad that i haven´t had the chance to ever see her ..
aw thanks so much!!! I've never seen her either, but I hope to visit her in Kentucky when I'm there for college. :) I already have plans to visit Three Chimneys to see Smarty lol.
this is sensational!! The music was simlpy perfect, one I had planned on using myself, but you beat me to it. And you arranged the clips fantastically as well, mixed with the effects & commentary, this is one of the best Zenyatta videos I have ever seen! Great job!
thank you so much!!! :D You can use the music too if you want, I certainly don't own it lol. I thought it fit perfectly with Zenyatta when I first heard it. :)
hehe your most welcome ^^ I don't think I could do it any justice now that I've seen your magnificent work, plus I only have lil old Windows Movie Maker, my options are rather limited lol. I have a ton of music, I'm sure I'll find something to use, and I'm sure I'll use this piece for soemthing different =)
aw thank you!! :D Windows Movie Maker is awesome though, I remember when I first got Vegas I didn't even use it because it was so complicated lol. Good luck with your vid!
Your beautiful video stirred up the emotions I experienced that day - I was there that history-making day!! The moment she crossed the wire, I broke into tears of JOY! She should be HORSE OF THE DECADE. I love her and will miss her!
this made me cry, and i believe it always will, no matter how much time goes by. I was lucky enough to be there, on the rail, all i really remember is having a numb feeling as the announcer stated that she was 10 or 11 lengths off the leader, i thought "Oh God, not now, not today, i didn't drive 100 miles for disappointment" but right when she ran by, i spun around and hugged my mom, we jumped, screamed, and cried, lol, best race I've seen in my LIFE
aw thank you for such a nice comment! I cried too when she was running down the stretch into first place, and couldn't stop for at least 10 minutes after. You are so lucky you were there!
Wonderful video, you are a video artist as well as with your drawings. The only disagreement I have with you is the favorite quote, mine is "...One of the greatest horses of all time". Zenyatta is one of the best I've ever seen and I've been watching horse races since the Swaps/Nashua rivalry. BTW Nashua is 5s x 5d in Zenyatta's pedigree.
thank you!! I love looking at all of the race horse's pedigrees and tracing them all the way back to the early 1700's, to when they were arabians. I find it fascinating!
It's been a few weeks now since the race...but that video brought the tears back. Ohh...for those two minutes on that sunny day in Arcadia...it just seemed like everthing was right in the world didn't it? Thank you for this video!!!
thank you for your comment!! it definitely did... I don't remember ever being that happy after a horse race. Zenyatta is one special horse that I'll never forget. :)
THE BEST MOVIE I seen of rae horse ever. It had this movie like quality to it, like the movie Rufian.
I WATCH THIS I SHOT SHIVERS REMEMBER THE DAY ME AND MY FAMILY YELLED AND CHEERED FOR THIS AMAZING FILLY. Now I wonder what's next this filly,myabe going against Rachel Alexandria. U are a very good editor and love this work if urs. fAV AND 5
I hope college life is treating you well. I will always love this video and many others you took the time to do. thank you and best wishes.....I miss her.....

A charming article. Who says horses aren't smart. I know better.
''Autistic Boy Connects With Zenyatta
Trainer John Shirreffs says the 6-year-old mare, perfect in 15 races heading into the Apple Blossom Handicap (gr. I) April 9, has "evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined''

Not a shock, nor a surprise.

If you watch the stretch run of RA in the Woodward she is hit with the bat more times in that one race than Z. has been hit in her career.

I loved it when the announcer yelled, ''It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Zenyatta!!''.

A dear friend, Les Hilton, who owned & trained ''Mr. Ed'', & with whom I rode, was looking for a new horse. I asked him what the first thing was that he looked for in a new animal. He said 'a kind eye'. I was surprised at first, but later I realized what he meant. If a horse doesn't have a kind eye, don't walk behind him, he may just kick a fly off your ear!. Same goes for Jess Jackson! Or, as my husband says,'''I wouldn't trust him in an outhouse with a muzzle on!''.

Zenyatta was as stunning as ever.
Sorry to be a cynic, but I don't believe the Jackson camp will send RA to the AB in 3 weeks. I'm looking for an excuse like a temp, strain, etc. I'm sorry that such a great filly is in the wrong hands. A strongly marked contrast to way the Mosses & Shirref have handled Zenyatta. Kudos to them.
Irony of ironies, Zardana's rider, David Flores, was on Zenyatta for her first 2 races.
viking1938 1 year ago 10
Tears...tears...tears...On this the morning of her first race of the year which happens to be the one prep before facing RA, I am so in a Zenyatta State of Mind. This is the best video ever of our Queen. May she run with utter joy ! Go!! Zenyatta!! Go!!

BTW....your video was awesome. I'm happy Zenyatta has brought so much joy to you and others! I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with my other comment, but as a lifelong fan, I have seen far too many amazing horses to cast them aside so quickly and disregard their amazing accomplshments. That's all.
Take care and I look forward to more videos from you!
rachelalexandra79 2 years ago
thank you!
other comment? I dunno if I saw one... haha so I guess I can say for sure that you didn't hurt my feelings! :D If it was about Rachel though, I can definitely say that I love that horse as well, almost as much as I love Zenyatta so I don't mind a bit if people post comments about her on this vid too. I'm very competitive and sometimes it shows, but in reality I love them both. :)
rainyrose23 2 years ago
I posted a visceral response about calling her Horse of the Decade or Century, primarily in the defense of other greats I've seen in my lifetime. However, when a person falls in love with a special horse like Zenyatta, it's only natural to call them the best ever, because they are to that person. We all get a little defensive of our favorites, but we are all entitled to our beliefs. Again. your video was superb. They should hire you to make vids like this for tv brooadcast. Yours is better!

I needed a good cry after they robbed her of HOTY so I loaded your video. She is one in a biliion. I'm happy to see more of her in 2010...I just pray every day for perfect health and safe trips no matter where they are or who they are against. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. Thanks Rose for bringing her to me :)
Tammicat21 2 years ago
Thank you so much for this comment! It always brings a smile to my face to see nice comments after a hard day's work. :) I agree, I hope they all stay sound and healthy and have a blast racing in 2010.

She does have a large fan base, but so does Rachel.
They are equals in my books (:
I personally don't want htem to race each other, because I don't want to see either of them lose :P

I've favorited a lot of Zenyatta videos, but this is the first one I've felt compelled to comment on. The music and techniques used are so moving. The 0:24 mark gives me chills... a colossal grace bestows her paddock the privilege of witnessing her strut to the gate before making history. She's a living legend. Thank you!

ruffianrulz 2 years ago 3
@ruffianrulz Horse of the century lol still 90 more years to go....And she only has a year to surpass the many who have already achieved more this century so far. Just because a horse is you favourite horse ever should not cloud judgement. Like my favourite horse is New Approach and he always will be. But i know deep down Sea The Stars and Zarkava were better. Zarkava will always be my fav filly and she is so similar to Zenyatta cept she is not so big.

Hi Rainy..I just read the writeup on Santa Anita opening day yesterday...Zenyatta walked to the winners circle to the tune "Everything she does is magic"Maybe you could put one together for us with that song :)Thanks for all your great tributes to the bestest horse ever
Tammicat21 2 years ago 2
that's a fantastic idea! It's so true. I'll definitely do that. :) I can't promise when it'll be up, but I'll work on it and hopefully finish it soon. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

this is sensational!! The music was simlpy perfect, one I had planned on using myself, but you beat me to it. And you arranged the clips fantastically as well, mixed with the effects & commentary, this is one of the best Zenyatta videos I have ever seen! Great job!

Your beautiful video stirred up the emotions I experienced that day - I was there that history-making day!! The moment she crossed the wire, I broke into tears of JOY! She should be HORSE OF THE DECADE. I love her and will miss her!

Thank you! You are one lucky person to have seen this race with your own eyes. I was crying too when she won!
I'll miss her as well, but she's going to have an amazing life in Kentucky I'm sure. :)
rainyrose23 2 years ago
this made me cry, and i believe it always will, no matter how much time goes by. I was lucky enough to be there, on the rail, all i really remember is having a numb feeling as the announcer stated that she was 10 or 11 lengths off the leader, i thought "Oh God, not now, not today, i didn't drive 100 miles for disappointment" but right when she ran by, i spun around and hugged my mom, we jumped, screamed, and cried, lol, best race I've seen in my LIFE
Zenyatta: HOTY :D

rainyrose23 2 years ago
Wonderful video, you are a video artist as well as with your drawings. The only disagreement I have with you is the favorite quote, mine is "...One of the greatest horses of all time". Zenyatta is one of the best I've ever seen and I've been watching horse races since the Swaps/Nashua rivalry. BTW Nashua is 5s x 5d in Zenyatta's pedigree.
