I have a 17.2 Thoroughbred off the track. I only let him "go" up hills so gravity can help me. It's my dream to be able to ride him flat out someday. My dream ride is the ride over the bridge in Seabiscuit. War Admiral is my horses Great Great Gradfather.
@oOShowjumperOo because they can get nervous and out of control. It's best that the horse and jockey have time to focus on themselves and not keeping control on the way to the gate and/or track to work/race. That job is left to the pony boy.
@oOShowjumperOo One of the biggest reasons racehorses need to be ponied is because they are taught one thing. To run. Not much in steering, and very little in 'whoa'. Couple that with the fact that these horses have a lot of energy and you have a possible disaster on your hands.
in my opinion i dnt like horse racin cause i think theyre workin the life out of em and get hit wit whip when there goin fast as can and yea.. but nice vid!
@annabanana041876 Yeah, foe example, Secretariat had Ronnie Turncotte, And Lucien Lauren his whole career! ahh i love the movie secretariat....MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do jockeys mount by them self and does any one help them to mount because on the jockey cam it looks like they do it by them selfs without help please tell me how jockeys mount do they do it by them selfs or is ther some one to help them please tell me
Although I have commented before about how much I love this video, I wanted to mention this evening that my two and a half year old grandson will point to my computer and ask for "yaya" - yes, he wants me to play this beautiful Zenyatta video for him. I am always happy to oblige him, of course. Thank you again for sharing this wondermare with us.
could you imagine having a camera on Rons helment when Secretariat won belmont stakes? do you know how amazing that footage would be. it would be breath taking.
I sooo wish i could see this horse in real life it would sure take my breath away thats for sure! I love horses and everything about them horses kick butt!
congrats to mike! I wish him an Twinspired the best of luck at the 137th run for the roses tomorrow afternoon :) (he better win! I got 20 bucks on em!)
Rags to Riches' win over the great Curlin (Preakness and future BCC champion), to become the first filly to win Belmont in 102 years, is one of the greatest single feats by a female, and better than what Zenyatta did at the Breeders. The great mare Goldikova has beaten a lot more males than Zen, and has so far won THREE Breeders Cup races in a row, all against males. Zenyatta was fantastic, but there have been greater TBs in the last ten years who achieved more on the track.
@SECby31 I agree. Zenyatta is way overrated. To show you how weak the field was in 2009, Gio Ponti who she barely beat was a turf specialist! The rest of the time she only raced mares smaller than her. She is not even the best female of this century.
Where was Zenyatta in the TC races of 07? - hiding in California racing fillies half her size. That's how she got 18 in a row. Then she barely beat Gio Ponti (Gio who?!) in 09 and lost to Blame in 2010, another average horse compared to 21st century greats like Tiznow and Ghostzapper. Tiznow is the true American hero of the Breeders Cup, fighting off the best Europe had to offer in 2000 and 2001.That horse, along with Smarty Jones, Curlin and Ghostzapper are the best of this century.

Wow, this is amazing. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be a jockey, but my family and friends have always said I can't do it and I should just stick to barrel racing and equitation. Theres still hope that I can achieve my dream, thankyou for putting this video up. Its a spectacular view for those unfortunate enough to not achieve the dream of being a jockey. Zenyatta is really an incredible mare thats for sure, and she's gonna give some incredible foals!
@xDudeItsBre same about jockey but no racing for me what so ever :( though i think I'll have to stick to animating and game designing since I'm still WAY to young to race but already 5' 4.5'' and 106 >.< life has cheated me once again.
Excuse me to all you retards but this horse is NOT the queen of racing. That crown and title was given up in the 70's..To Ruffian..Anyone remember her? Yea well she's the TRUE queen not this sack of shit!
@BarrelRacingPaints ok i am a MASSIVE fan of ruffian, hence my name and my channel i might be her biggest fan, but even i thought that, that comment was uncalled for, i agree ruffian is the queen and always will be but zenyatta is by far not a sack of shit!
@RuffianQueenOfRacing i know she's not and I honestly shouldn't have said that about her. But the whole "Zenyatta" thing gets taken WAYYYY to far and just really gets under my skin! I Shake with anger when I think about her!
@RuffianQueenOfRacing No...there are SO many more that are so much better than her! I can list them right off the top of my head. But the reason why we have so many crap Tbreds right now is because they aren't breeding them like they used to...it's a shame...honest shame!
@RuffianQueenOfRacing I'm not excusing the fact that Zenyatta took down some of the top horses in the nation. But it is disappointing at the same time to see so many people crazed over a horse that ran in the same area and had excuse after excuse as to why she couldn't compete at other tracks or against other top horses...
ok, what happend to Zenyatta after she lost the race? cause from the sounds of the comments, it sounds like they put her down (i hate using that word)just wondering
I think that Zenyatta is a legend, and no one will ever forget her, but she is not the greatest race horse in the world. She was amazing, and you can't deny that. I think that Zenyatta just gutted it out in the 09 Breeders Cup and really deserved the win and this year there was a few contributing factors to her loss: 1, she had a fairly bad trip. 2, she was racing in a tougher field. 3, Blame wanted that win. But at the end, Zanyatta was really gaining. I think she really proved herself that day
@amannie11 im sure after a bit but remember the races are only about a minute or 2. then they'll be sitting on the saddle without much less leg support.
i dont think zenyatta was any good at all. she never proved herself against real horsew, the 09' classic was a fluke, she faced horses that couldnt beat a 5 claimer at delta downs. and when se faced a class field, she came up short. dont bother defending her either, the only people that think she was amaing are little girls who know as much about racing as a fish knows about flying. dont get me wrong, shes a pretty horse. but people who compare her to secratariet know nothing.
The Breeders Cup 09' was not a fluke. The Breeders Cup IS a class field, you had Gio Ponte in there, wonderful horse, you had Quality Road who was a top-knotch horse who also was in the 10' Breeders Cup. If you WATCH all 20 of her races, she won each and every one of them, accept for her 20th race, the Breeders' Cup. So are you saying that Secretariat's Triple Crown was a fluke? Why don't you check out his races too.
@CPProductions13 i never said secratariet was a fluke, i think he was the best thorougbred ever, and zenyatta stoped coming a the 16th simple, she was all out and blame had more, dont argue this beacuse i work in the buisness and know the racing game. she had nothing left
Zenyatta is the greatest race horse that ever lived.
when you think of what she has done including racing against all males and realistically beating them, she is the best.
there is no other horse male or female who could have won so many races in a row, undefeated and then raced against horses of a different gender while coming up from the side as far as she did including stalling out of the gate then you know the true stigma of this animal.
well thats not trotting, thats canter and the guy next to the jockey who was holding the horse was riding in western style! I persume he was holding the horse back to train it to charge! you know when he sees another horse in front of him he just wants to follow, so they hold him back for a while to make him hot and make him want to catch up and then they let got so he can charge! the head just turned cause he was holdin back and the horse was pushing forward! NICE HORSE!!
I luv zenyatta she's a beautiful filly but culd she beat secretariat in a race? Hmm maybe or maybe not but everyone thinks secretariat would win bc of his race time zenyatta is too but think zenyatta was held back to keep her power and release at the end thts y her timing is so slow but if zenyatta and secretariat would race zanyatta culd win..... we will nvr no
Wish they had mic'd her feet and muzzle so we could hear the hoof-beats and breathing like in The Black Stallion. Priceless footage! Wish we had an open track to run like that!
isnt it kind of f**ked up that she won our hearts in all of her races, won 2 bc classics, and faced some good horses, and has never won a horse of the year award? it would be a miricle if she won this year, but thats a highly unlikely because blame was the only horse to brake zenyatta's perfect record.
amazing...but i totally just thought of this....could anybody imagine a foal between Man O' War and Zenyatta......lol idk if that would be even considered legal on a racetrack hahaha
AMAZING! She is the best ever! If you are not a Zenyatta fan, get off this page and stop being hateful and hurtful... there is more than enough of that in this world. Zenyatta represents nothing but class in the way she holds herself and the way she is with all the people who love her. She doesn't like it when people talk trash about her or other horses. This is for those of us who love her! She has brought so much joy and hope into so many lives... let's focus on that!
Jon, TY so much 4 posting this video, one of my fav's of all time! I ride, but never like that! I've always dreamed of riding an incredible horse like Zenyatta, maybe 1 day, but it was almost like being there! Thx so much again for sharing w/ us, it was an incredible ride, to say the least! We Love You Zenyatta! & I do hope they reconsider racing her atleast one more time! That's a BIG Plz & to the Moss's give her the chance to go out w/ a win, sure she'll love u 4-ever 4 that! & me too!lol
This is an awesome video. Thank you to whoever got this idea to share w/ everyone what it actually FEELS like to be on such a unique horse -- so tall, w/ beautiful lean neck, alert ears, w/ such a long stride, that she is able to come up from behind and overtake another talented race horse in full gallop, with no apparent increase in speed. I always wanted to breeze a race horse. Now I feel like I have ridden the best!
All you can ask of a horse is to be honest in effort and generous in understanding of what is being asked. Remember you are their reward and maybe an extra carrot.
Gamesgreyhound. You need to get up in the morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself what sort of person you want to be. Try and be a bit bigger. Sitting on your pc, slandering an equine superstar with a ton of heart like her. I am an English racing fan and have seen numerous equine superstars worldwide, from Ascot to Dubai to Hong Kong. I (hugely unluckily) lost a ton a of money on Zenyatta in the BC 2010 classic but...what a gorgeous racehorse...I wouldn't have a word said against her.
@denis888red Thank you Denis... The way Zenyatta zoned on Blame and walked the rest of the field like a second thought was by far her greatest accomplishment. I challenge anyone to name a horse, (other than Secretariat), to do what she did in that race. I don't care what the wire showed...ZENYATTA caught a super horse and beat him.
@gamesgreyhound Did I stutter or hesitate? Say hello to Zenny's Butt, cuz if she hadn't misjudged the wire, that's what would Blame would have been lookin at.
@chris23316 You idiot fans give her too much credit for her intelligence. Let me say it in simple terms so you'll understand. SHE IS A HORSE! HORSES ARE NOT INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. THEY'RE PREY ANIMALS AND NOT THINKERS. Zenyatta has no idea where the wire is. If that were the case then Mike Smith wouldn't have whipped her over 20 times in the stretch you simple minded moron.
ALL SMALL ARMY OF THE QUEEN'S LOYAL SUBJECTS HAS GATHERED AND COMMITTED TO TAKE TURNS PATROLING JOHN'S CHANNEL. WE WILL LEAVE REMARKS SUITABLE FOR OUR QUEEN AND WIPE YOU OUT OF VIEW EACH AND EVERY TIME. NO ONE IS GOING TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ANYMORE.
Reason why I am not in favor of Zenyatta's fans. Your a fine example of how obsessive they can be. Everyone has an opinon, some you may disagree with. But to lash out at people who do isn't right. Even if they do it in a rather rude way. Please people for once enjoy this wonderful video, and bury this very bloody hatchet once and for all.
You claim your little sister left hate filled comments all over the place while you where out of the country, apologize 1 week ago and 4 days later are smarting off again. You know d- well you have done nothing but smear Zenyatta all over youtube in a most crude and vulgar fashion. You need help putting those "personalities" back. If you wanted to "bury the hatchet" you would leave the Zeny lovers in peace. Go watch a Blame video you think he is it!
I can't stop my sister from posting bad comments about horseracing hen I'm working during the day. I casually post comments a few times to express how I feel about races, but she seems to surf Zenyatta videos to give her input.

amannie11 11 months ago
@amannie11 im sure after a bit but remember the races are only about a minute or 2. then they'll be sitting on the saddle without much less leg support.

i dont think zenyatta was any good at all. she never proved herself against real horsew, the 09' classic was a fluke, she faced horses that couldnt beat a 5 claimer at delta downs. and when se faced a class field, she came up short. dont bother defending her either, the only people that think she was amaing are little girls who know as much about racing as a fish knows about flying. dont get me wrong, shes a pretty horse. but people who compare her to secratariet know nothing.

@DemonChinChilla355
The Breeders Cup 09' was not a fluke. The Breeders Cup IS a class field, you had Gio Ponte in there, wonderful horse, you had Quality Road who was a top-knotch horse who also was in the 10' Breeders Cup. If you WATCH all 20 of her races, she won each and every one of them, accept for her 20th race, the Breeders' Cup. So are you saying that Secretariat's Triple Crown was a fluke? Why don't you check out his races too.
CPProductions13 11 months ago
@CPProductions13 i never said secratariet was a fluke, i think he was the best thorougbred ever, and zenyatta stoped coming a the 16th simple, she was all out and blame had more, dont argue this beacuse i work in the buisness and know the racing game. she had nothing left

this footage is magic and history.
Zenyatta is the greatest race horse that ever lived.
when you think of what she has done including racing against all males and realistically beating them, she is the best.
there is no other horse male or female who could have won so many races in a row, undefeated and then raced against horses of a different gender while coming up from the side as far as she did including stalling out of the gate then you know the true stigma of this animal.

@TheDragonLake hiya!
well thats not trotting, thats canter and the guy next to the jockey who was holding the horse was riding in western style! I persume he was holding the horse back to train it to charge! you know when he sees another horse in front of him he just wants to follow, so they hold him back for a while to make him hot and make him want to catch up and then they let got so he can charge! the head just turned cause he was holdin back and the horse was pushing forward! NICE HORSE!!

I luv zenyatta she's a beautiful filly but culd she beat secretariat in a race? Hmm maybe or maybe not but everyone thinks secretariat would win bc of his race time zenyatta is too but think zenyatta was held back to keep her power and release at the end thts y her timing is so slow but if zenyatta and secretariat would race zanyatta culd win..... we will nvr no

isnt it kind of f**ked up that she won our hearts in all of her races, won 2 bc classics, and faced some good horses, and has never won a horse of the year award? it would be a miricle if she won this year, but thats a highly unlikely because blame was the only horse to brake zenyatta's perfect record.

AMAZING! She is the best ever! If you are not a Zenyatta fan, get off this page and stop being hateful and hurtful... there is more than enough of that in this world. Zenyatta represents nothing but class in the way she holds herself and the way she is with all the people who love her. She doesn't like it when people talk trash about her or other horses. This is for those of us who love her! She has brought so much joy and hope into so many lives... let's focus on that!

I've always dreamed of riding an incredible horse like Zenyatta, maybe 1 day, but it was almost like being there! Thx so much again for sharing w/ us, it was an incredible ride, to say the least! We Love You Zenyatta! & I do hope they reconsider racing her atleast one more time! That's a BIG Plz & to the Moss's give her the chance to go out w/ a win, sure she'll love u 4-ever 4 that! & me too!lol
pol1265 1 year ago
This is an awesome video. Thank you to whoever got this idea to share w/ everyone what it actually FEELS like to be on such a unique horse -- so tall, w/ beautiful lean neck, alert ears, w/ such a long stride, that she is able to come up from behind and overtake another talented race horse in full gallop, with no apparent increase in speed. I always wanted to breeze a race horse. Now I feel like I have ridden the best!

All you can ask of a horse is to be honest in effort and generous in understanding of what is being asked. Remember you are their reward and maybe an extra carrot.

Gamesgreyhound. You need to get up in the morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself what sort of person you want to be. Try and be a bit bigger. Sitting on your pc, slandering an equine superstar with a ton of heart like her. I am an English racing fan and have seen numerous equine superstars worldwide, from Ascot to Dubai to Hong Kong. I (hugely unluckily) lost a ton a of money on Zenyatta in the BC 2010 classic but...what a gorgeous racehorse...I wouldn't have a word said against her.
denis888red 1 year ago
@denis888red Thank you Denis... The way Zenyatta zoned on Blame and walked the rest of the field like a second thought was by far her greatest accomplishment. I challenge anyone to name a horse, (other than Secretariat), to do what she did in that race. I don't care what the wire showed...ZENYATTA caught a super horse and beat him.

@gamesgreyhound Did I stutter or hesitate? Say hello to Zenny's Butt, cuz if she hadn't misjudged the wire, that's what would Blame would have been lookin at.
chris23316 1 year ago
@chris23316 You idiot fans give her too much credit for her intelligence. Let me say it in simple terms so you'll understand. SHE IS A HORSE! HORSES ARE NOT INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. THEY'RE PREY ANIMALS AND NOT THINKERS. Zenyatta has no idea where the wire is. If that were the case then Mike Smith wouldn't have whipped her over 20 times in the stretch you simple minded moron.

Reason why I am not in favor of Zenyatta's fans. Your a fine example of how obsessive they can be. Everyone has an opinon, some you may disagree with. But to lash out at people who do isn't right. Even if they do it in a rather rude way. Please people for once enjoy this wonderful video, and bury this very bloody hatchet once and for all.

@queenluciaa Are you physcho? or what?
You claim your little sister left hate filled comments all over the place while you where out of the country, apologize 1 week ago and 4 days later are smarting off again. You know d- well you have done nothing but smear Zenyatta all over youtube in a most crude and vulgar fashion. You need help putting those "personalities" back. If you wanted to "bury the hatchet" you would leave the Zeny lovers in peace. Go watch a Blame video you think he is it!

I can't stop my sister from posting bad comments about horseracing hen I'm working during the day. I casually post comments a few times to express how I feel about races, but she seems to surf Zenyatta videos to give her input.
