[ponywheels2]

Mary, we must have been right n3xt to each other. I have this same video. Check ponywheels onYouTube.

[viking1938]

I can't help but wonder what the other owners & trainers are thinkng when she came out. Wouldn't you love to be a mind reader!

[larryzapeye]

never got this close,,,thanks Mary

[timcfuller]

Oaklawn offered up $5 million if both Z and RA race in the Apple Blossom in April. They also changed the distance from 1 1/16 to 1 1/8. Let's get it on!!!

'Retirement on hold: Unbeaten mare Zenyatta expected to run in 2010'

Yahoo this A.M. Spread the word! SHE'S COMING BACK!!!

[LuckyZoneOne2]

Watch her strut it!!! Wow, what a beauty. And my friend says throughbreds cant be drassage horses... pffft. Just look at her fancy legwork!

[Horses4ever8]

[whatthefuckubrat]

@Horses4ever8 PEEK A BOO!

[larryzapeye]

[bombomb09]

I started laughing

[Jonesgirl5432]

Didn't Jon Shireffs start crying?

[Venckman]

He and a few thousand other people  :)

[21Sarabi]

Looking GRAND as usual!! :)

[Koshkamitsu]

Hey, that horse is digging up the flowers!

[viking1938]

I was lucky enough to be there, a birthday gift from my son. Her legs look remarkably clean, she doesn't appear to have firing marks. Big as she is, she still looks like a female. I think she could have gone 1 1/2 easily, & she hasn't reached her limit. I'd love to see her race in the Dubai Cup, but if wishes were wings, horses would fly.

[williampaul69]

She is or " was" a fascinating horse. I just wish she would have been allowed to spread her wings more- but horses are so fragile these days.

[creepycoyote]

I can't help but laughing at the lady whose battery died just as Zenyatta came out. Hahaha that would be my luck! Thanks a lot for posting this wonderful lead-up to a moment that will live forever in our memories.

[1337ballin]

@creepycoyote Lol I was at the Kentucky Derby this year and my iPod battery died right before Animal Kingdom walked past me in the paddock to go to the track. xD

[shahrzad1893]

:D hey you whent to the breeders cup?

i whent last year when ravens pass dominated :D

maybe i'll see you there next year if we both go ^^

[frastephen]

Is that Rush Limbaugh at 1:20?

Thanks for posting this video! I love it!

[jcurrysan]

Simply a QUEEN!!! Regal...and beautiful. Perfection in an animal. Makes you smile every time you see her. For those 2 minutes...everything in the word was okay...and God smiled on Arcadia. How I wish I could have been there!!!

[jcurrysan]

I was raised in Arcadia...and have been to SA countless times...but live in Oregon now and couldn't make it down this year. She's too old for the triple crown....she's already 5....and will probably be retired now. Still love her though!!!

[jlg329]

that statement don[t make sense

[melc1949]

Pawing the ground like that suggests she'd really like to just get down and have a good roll in the dirt.

[naughtykitten0572]

I LOVE ZENYATTA! She is beautiful!!!!

[ZenyattaBaby]

I love her soooooo much. Her dancing is so awesome! It makes me laugh because she's the only horse I've seen do that.

[weblorn]

Zenyatta doin' the Ali shuffle before going into the ring. What an amazing mare! So happy to have been privileged enough to feed her carrots after last year's Lady's Secret. This time I was one of the thousands screaming for her near the finish line. The greatest race mare in my life time, and the greatest racing experience too.

[larryzapeye]

Nice

[BarbarosDerby132]

What an amazing creature. Thanks Mary for sharing this with us. I just love her more and more.....

[Tycc66]

Dedicating the appropriate "song" to the big beautiful dancing filly-young lady.If she had any doubts about winning the breeders' cup.Than Im sure God must of encouraged Zenyatta by telling her that "FOUR STICKS"...Perhaps in her mind this is the song that she really dances too....

[TheMedici23]

LOVE IT She is sooo sweet.  We Love Her and thanks for sharing with us from the East Coast. Awesome....

[Reid52]

I'm so glad that you posted this video. My daughter and I were about 10 yards to the right of where you were standing, taking pictures. It was a gorgeous day, the crowd very much cheering for Zenyatta, and the way she was pawing the ground, it looked like she was eager to take them all on. It was a priviledge to see her race.

[Kostly]

Zen knows she looks good, she shows you how good she looks and she looks damn good doin it, too. LOL That is one beautiful, smart, bodacious, talented, capable, big, strong, AWESOME race mare. RA wishes she looked as good as Zen. :P Just kidding you east coast kiddies. RA is beautiful too. We'll see if she can keep her win streak going into next year.

[BlackHorse0688]

She is beautiful. She is perfect... and she is a good dancer LOL.

[bansuriwala63]

I want to marry her ,,

[Venckman]

She is not only the Queen of Racing, but she is the DANCING Queen of Racing! :D

[lovedbysweetie]

I am soooooo jealous and happy at the same time that you were there taking videos for us here on the east coast xoxoxoxo

[CPProductions13]

Dance and keep dancing Zen! =D

[ZenyattaLuver]

Dance Baby dance LOL

The Queen

[vikidobe]

Any chance you could interview her groom? He's the other hero here.

[lovedbysweetie]

Wow! That would be AWESOME!!!!!

[BackstretchRunner]

She and her dance moves! I love her all the more! ^^
