Zenyatta was amazing. And to you who say she isn't: get a life. If you don't recognize an amazing horse when you see it right in front of you, then you're a lost cause. So you should just stfu and not say anything at all. The 09 classic was no way in hell a fluke. Don't get pissed because ppl are comparing her with Secretariat or anybody else. She deserves to be ranked among the best. Disagree? shut the hell up.
i luv zenyatta... i just wish they ran her in the style Ruffian did... always in the lead from the first to the last step in the race, setting the pace and ending with a blazing fast homestretch run. i think she could have done that is she was asked to...
Actually, I'm not a little girl, DemonChinChilla355, and i know quite a bit about racing. You, however, seem to be unable to recognize greatness when it slaps you in the face. She is so gifted that even with a running style that would doom all others to less than perfection, she always won. She was even the best horse in the one race she lost.
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 Nobody "compared her to Secretariat" the comment below just said she runs like him. She was never comparing her to him. She might've meant she had strides like him or something of that nature. But, lets face it, if Zenyatta wasn't any good at all, would she have made it this far? And I actually know quite a bit about racing. I'm just gonna say, get your ass out there tacked up with a jockey on you and run faster than she did.
A win is a win - that's all that mattered this day. Mike knows he could have ridden her better. She's won the BC Classic - 14 for 14 - that's all that matters NOW.
I watched her stretch drive 2 dozen times. That last 1/16, she showed a gear that is almost hard to believe. Look at the ground she covers, she can accelerate like no other. I like to see her in 1 mile and 1/4, better distance for her. She needs a mile to unwind those long legs. I do love her, she is something special.
Zen certainly didn't run past any Champion caliber Horses. If Rachel in the race, They would have been lookin at 1:10 or so for the 3/4's. That only would have been good enough for about 12-13 lengths turning for home. No telling how many She draws off after that. No wonder Zen did'nt go to the Woodward.

It's funny how time proves most of you WRONG - Zenyatta did exactly what she was supposed to do in the Breeders Saturday... SHE WON IT.

Then that means Zenyatta would've just run them down that much easier. ;).

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Zen has beaten Gr. 2 & 3 winners. And barely.
Her Owners know this.
Ya really think They will put her in the Classic?
No chance whatsoever.
This is a Peppers Pride type Horse.

She went into a brand new gear at the end i think she showed that she could accelerate faster than what she had been. Amazing
