@8breyerlover A horse always runs with one front leg leading first. Usually, when a horse tires on the right front leg, it will "switch leads" to the left, which means the left leg will lead first. It usually gives a tiring horse a fresher leg to lead with. Racehorses are usually trained to do this to help give them a edge; notice horses carefully in the turn into the stretch, that's where they usually change leads. Like Ruffian, some horses aren't inclined to do it.
Zenyatta had everything to lose and nothing to win. Even in defeat, she lost nothing. Not a single fan, not an ounce of respect, not her place in history. Those who hated are going to continue to hate, but those who loved here didn't stop because she lost. She may have gained even more fans by her amazing show of her never say impossible atittude and fighting spirit. What horse, our Queen.
is there any place to get the music for this? my daughter would love to play it, and i would love to hear her play this fun tribute to one of the greatest horses ever! the "he Seabiscuit Song "A Legend In The Game" by Frank Lovato Jr is another great song here.
Liza, I still adore this song, and Zenyatta, she is forever instilled in my heart, I will always love her, her owners and her team for what an amazing loving job they did with her, and still do, Thank you for this, it comes to me in the middle of the night, that is how much I love her, Michele.
My mom is friends with this girl on FB, and she said I (ME, ME and ME) got to make up the lyrics to Rachel Alexandra's song and she would put up a tune, YES!!!
I'm fine with the song and the lady. Nice tribute to a nice horse.
To those who found this song weird..... I suspect that if she looked prettier like Taylor Swift for eg, they won't be finding her ( or the song) weird....lol. C'mon admit it guys.
I just love this song, it makes me so happy everytime I listen to it, which is about 3 times a day haha. She was so good for the sport we love Zenyatte
I'm not sure PhattMama who your comments were direcred at. Couldn't find a thread. The one thing I'm so disappointed in is that they shold have given Quee Z horse of the year last year when she won the classic. No they gave it to Rachel and she just fizzled as a 4 year old. Now they are saying Lame (no not a typo should be horse of the year) not right!
@PhatMama469 & lovetheponies I hate to say his but BOTH of you are inmmature. I've seen BOTH Rachae and Zen run and BOTH horses could care less what either of you two think. All these two great animals think of is making sure to cross that finish line first, run a safe race and come home and have a long rest. GROW THE HELL UP!
What a wonderful song. I've watched Queen Z for her whole career and she has been an absolute joy. I want to thank the Moss's for sharing her with us as long as they did. I'm also so very glad that she is going to Kentucky (my home state) for a well deserved rest. As much as I have enjoyed watching her I still remember Ruffian. Everytime I watched Zenyatta race this last year it was no longer please let her win, it was please let her get home safe! Thank you again for sharing her with us!
As Liza says, good luck today Zenyatta. I am a wreck. Please have a safe trip Zenyatta and Mike and let's hope we see #20 for the greatest racehorse we'll ever see!
Fantastic song! now i have three songs written especially for horses i love- Frankie Lovato's about Seabiscuit,,the one about Thunder Gulch, and now this, about my dancer. thank you!
i might get yelled at for this-but a Zen X dressage stallion would be really interesting. she seems to dance like a Lippizanner naturally
Great job honoring the GREATEST horse I've ever been fortunate to meet!!! Your song gives me goosebumps Liza G. I think I play this video 10 times a day, and it brings tears to my eyes. BTW...I'm a life long Trainer of Thoroughbreds, and a pretty tough critic...but you blew me away with this song. Well done!!!
Zenyatta's 19th win at Hollywood Park !!! Hi everyone !! Im on ABC News !! I just wanted to say to all my friends I havnt seen in a while so HI !!! You have to watch them both untill the end.... Ken
why doesn't everyone see the facts, not only is she 19 for 19 but they are all mostly grade 1's, it's not her fault who she races against, you can only beat the horses who come to the party and not those who avoid the party!
tvg's obsession with her is hilarious. lets be honest for a second.....she beats bums like no other. theres really no good horses out there right now. nothing that stands out anyway.
If you are a true racing fan you know the Triple Crown is a gimmick however necessary today to keep the interest of non racing fans. You cannot test a horse fairly with 20 horses in the race. and the Belmont is a race that is a distance most horses will never run again in their lifetime. They are good for the sport. Think baseball and basketball all star games.
Get ready people. 4 days till the queen Zenyatta goes for win #19. Also sorry to hear of Rachel's retirement but we still have Zenyatta for a couple more races this year.
Liza, this song is FABULOUS!! I can't get it out of my head. What a wonderful tribute to the greatest race horse. Hoping to come out to CA for her race Oct 2. Never thought I would make a trip from Philly for one race!!!
Zenyatta's great great (Great) grandfather was Native Dancer, who won I believe 21 or 22 races, lost only one. The Kentucky Derby, he came in second. They called him the Gray Ghost. just fyi for all.
I love Zenyatta! Going to see her October 2nd at Hollywood Park, wish I could go to Churchill to see her race and beat the boys again.
Liza, I just love your song. Its lyrics are so sweet and clever. Just like Zenny. I play this song anytime I want to be cheered up and choked up! I just want you to know you have a montana fan!
well you have a point i agree. but what you don't seem to grasp is that Most people will stay a loyal fan to Zenyatta even if she loses, because she has the heart of a champion and she's proven that to us many times, yes Rachel Alexandra was good but will never be as good as Zenyatta. As a personal opinion i believe Zenyatta should have won horse of the year due to the fact that she is the better horse between the two.

@taa1624 : Man O' War's record was 20 for 21 - he lost his fifth race. Zenyatta has the longest undefeated streak in US history (in major competition - a mare named Pepper's Pride won all 19 in New Mexico against all-New Mexico breds) and the second longest of ALL TIME, ALL WORLD. She's currently tied with Eclipse (1700s) and only behind Kincsem in 1870s Europe who won all 54 of her races in a very different time. Zenyatta is having a once-in-a-century career. She's that special.
Sweet celebration of a queen. It suits her perfectly. God bless Zenyatta and Team Zenyatta. I'm honored to watch you all. Keep putting her welfare first and I'll be watching wherever she races!
So sweet and celebratory for a Queen so deserving! thanks! I love all the people around her. They all have such class. Keep putting her welfare first. Race her when she's ready and I'll be watching! God bless Team Zenyatta!
I love this song although the words could have been a little better enunciated, Perhaps that will come later. Or run them across the screen for us old folks. Lovely tribute. Each magnificent horse has had its form of glory in it's day. Big Red on the cover of Time etc. This is her time and she deserves every bit of it. I thank her for it.
PhatMama 469 (is that a description of you? lol) You can retract your claws now! Why are you even looking at ZEN videos if you detest her so much scum bag! Anyone who has to knock a horse (ANY HORSE) is jealous! :-) Go crawl under the rock where you came from. You pathetic people who have no life & have nothing better to do than TRY and belittle Zenny. FYI she could give a rats a** what you think! Rachel thinks your pathetic, too!!
@lovetheponies I was looking at it because she is a good horse, no denying that. And the name calling is *so* classy of you. Really. And no body was "knocking" your precious Z, just telling the truth. She should not be considered any "queen" 'til she gets Horse of the Year. And then, she'd only be "queen" for ONE YEAR! Bye now!
Come on, just over 9000 views. Zenyatta is the greatest thing to happen to horseracing in a long time. If you dont get excited over watching her race then you are dead. Look at her personality, you cant help but like her.
I happen to be bored with Zenyatta... I hope she loses to shut you all up.. RACHEL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zenyatta's not the "QUEEN" til she's crowned HORSE OF THE YEAR! KNOW THAT!
@PhatMama469 Zenyatta doesn't need HOY to be queen. True racing queens are crowned by their ability to stay consistent. Rachel may have got it, but what has she been doing this year? Two second places out of 3 races this year. One in a Grade 2 race. Where Zenyatta has been in two Grade 1 races and continued to increase her win streak. Rachel doesn't even qualify for a first pick in the Ladies' Classic. Go praise the fake queen Rachel on a video about her. And leave us Zenyatta fans in peace!
@Pepper9873 OK, this is a NEW YEAR. She was crowned HOY for her MULTIPLE times beating the boys (vs. just 1) and beating girls by LENGTHS (20, 16..). If your horse gets HOY THIS year, then I'll be for it. But there is NO WAY Zenyatta deserved it last year. Now, had she would have defeated boys over and over like my horse did, then I'd think it was a subject for debate LAST year. :) And, with that being said, peacefully I shall go!
@PhatMama469 If this is a 'new year' then why in the world are you being so horrible? And FYI: if the HOY was determined by everyday people, instead of a board of selected people, Zenyatta would have won.
@Pepper9873 Well, I see your counter point about my new year point, but I also did not think I was being "horrible" just honest. I *do* want her to lose just one time to see how many of you people stay aboard. Cause (not necessarily directing this @ you,) but I bet a lot would drop her like a hot coal if she lost. (Like they did Rachel.) And really, if you think about it, if the board of voters were just everyday ppl, it's hard to say who would have won... they might have tied... dead heat.
@PhatMama469 You were being horrible. How is "I hope she loses to shut you all up" not being horrible? You came attacking Zen from the start.
If Zen lost people would still love her just like they loved Cigar. People who would just drop a horse when it lost wouldn't go to two retirement ceremonies for said horse. We don't just love her because she's undefeated, but because she has a big personality that we've fallen in love with. She's unique in her running style. And she's just gorgeous.
@Pepper9873 Agree completely! Been watching racing practically since birth (over 50 yrs). Queen ZEN is VERY special, the complete package of talent & personality. I would love her win or lose. Much like the Legendary John Henry. Cigar too & so many others. Remember so many famous horses who lost a race: Man O' War, Citatation, Secretariat, Native Dancer & Rachel too (she runs with all her heart & I respect her talent too). Too me though, ZEN is THE QUEEN!
@PhatMama469 Your comments about ZEN are unessary. I love & respect all the horses. Yes, that includes Rachel. I like to call her the Princess & yes, she is an excellet horse with tons of heart. We fans can love them both for who they each are.
@jhracefan - Right on! Why should we have to choose? Even though I love Zenny more than I love Rachel, I still like Rachel and respect her as a fantastic filly.
@jhracefan I could not agree more. I adore Zenyatta and have followed her career since the beginning. She is everything that horse racing is about (for me). Outstanding horse full of heart. I am also a fan of Rachel Alexandra's. Gorgeous. She ran her heart out and she deserves all of her accolades. Just a great, great horse. How lucky we are as race fans to be able to witness two awesome fillies in two years! That is hard to come by! Girl Power!
@PhatMama469 win or lose I will always love Zenyatta. She brings such excitement to the sport. And if the day comes that she loses I will love her just as much cause I know she gave it her all, every day, every race. I am a Zenyatta fan for life!
@PhatMama469 Clearly someone needs to take a nap!! CHILDREN!!!!! Everyone just ignore her! Queen Zenyatta 18-0!!! Speaks for itself! They made such a joke of HOTY the past few years.... Who cares....?? REALLY! Win, lose or draw.... If she never wins another race, I will love her forever!!! She has already proven she is THE BEST!!!!
@PhatMama469 As you can tell by now, Zenyatta's fans have not abandoned her. We all love her just as much as if she had won the BC. She just has the charisma that attracts love and loyalty.
@PhatMama469 Question, if Rachel is SO good, why did she lose her first two races this year? The horses are not even grade 1 horses!! Zenyatta beat the males that RA beat. Except Zenyatta did it more impressivly.
@ZenyattaFanantic I think she lost because she'd been off for a half year or more, because she grew up considerably during that time and took some time to get used to that, and also because she was paying for the ordeal her connections put er through last year. All legit reasons to lose a few. I'm second to none in my adoration of Queen Z, but knocking a great horse like RA to build her up is classless. She needs no building up, she is in a class by herself. So why do it?
Zenyatta might not have the blinding speed of a legend like Secretariat, but she's exactly what this sport needs right now -- a dominant racehorse who can put on a hell of a show and win with style. Like Trevor Denman said, "She doesn't win by much, but it's the WAY she wins!"
I don't particularly like country music, but this song is beautiful, and I am definitely a fan of this video.
Ya know? The music is good.. the lyrics are good... the story is good.. Her voice is wonderful.... and maybe its just the quality of the video... but it sounds like she is mumbling.. she needs to articulate a little better....
wow, since when has there been an actual song written and sung about a racehorse? Thank you Liza for this song. I love the lyrics and the video. That lil furry thing. Who would have imagined what that furry little thing would grow up to be. Long live the Queen!!! Go Zen Go!!!!! Love ya..
@ruffianruns, And you did a great job doin' it too!! Thanks,... these lyrics are a riot! I'd had them sent to me via e-mail before I'd heard the song, and was imagining them sung by a Jeff Foxworthy type, and then had a great laugh over that!
Liza does a great job, and yes Zenyatta is fitting of having a good song about her out there, that tells her story! This is by far the best song about her yet I think!
Thanks for posting these lyrics for us Ruffianruns!
@jock4hire Thanks! Glad to help. I think the lyrics are really funny too! I've been learning it and can't get through the song without cracking up. I wonder how long it took Liza to be able to sing it without laughing?
@ruffianruns LOL! I'm still trying to get used to the song being sung by a female, and pardon me, but I still would like to hear what Jeff Foxworthy might do with a song like that! I don't even know if the man can sing, but he's sure got that redneck twang, and that's how I'd heard this song in my head! The lyrics are very funny and could be expanded on too by Mike and John, and probably all the barn hands too. A friend asked me this morning if I'd come to DMR w/her tomorrow! Hell yes, but,...
ruffianruns, as bad luck would have it, I'd been unable to get a flight outta here in time. Then they just didn't have a flight at all. NONE! I'm in TX. but lived near DMR for most of my life, and hadn't been there since '98. That's like my home to me, and I'm having to wait, and hope maybe I'll get a chance to see her at HOL when/if she races there again before the BC. Hurry up & wait,..... Thanks, lj
@ruffianruns, yeah no kiddin' ruff! I was so bummed yesterday when I'd been searchin' like a maniac trying to get a flight, any flight to San Diego! Every time I'd thought I might be able to afford a flight, I'd click on it, and the price would change or there'd come a notice saying there'd been no more seats available! The prices had gone from $409. and within just a few hours had jumped to $1700. I mean for Christs sake! How's anyone able to afford that? Not me, no ma'am! Smiles, HOL will do!
@ruffianruns Gee thanks a lot, I've been trying to learn the words to this, Love it, and I love Zenyatta!!! Oh, by the way her name means "Top of the World" and she is that and so much more
Wow! I'm a singer/songwriter myself and when I heard that there was a song out, I thought it would be too corny. It's not at all! Great lyrics, great rhythm, and just great all around! Thanks!
I love the "Hip Number 703" and the picture of young Zenyatta:
Boy, it this crazy world of unemployment, housing and oil spills, she is the only positve thing out there. And she never complains that her " contract " isn't enough.
Hands and heels to whomever produced this video and song. Such as positive image and sound for horse racing. We saw Lady Z at Del Mar last year. There are no words to describe the image she projected as she entered the paddock. By far the most physically impressive horse we have ever seen, but it's her mind that's make her so special.
I want this video on my XDA mini S phone.

If you are a true racing fan you know the Triple Crown is a gimmick however necessary today to keep the interest of non racing fans. You cannot test a horse fairly with 20 horses in the race. and the Belmont is a race that is a distance most horses will never run again in their lifetime. They are good for the sport. Think baseball and basketball all star games.

Zenyatta's great great (Great) grandfather was Native Dancer, who won I believe 21 or 22 races, lost only one. The Kentucky Derby, he came in second. They called him the Gray Ghost. just fyi for all.
I love Zenyatta! Going to see her October 2nd at Hollywood Park, wish I could go to Churchill to see her race and beat the boys again.

well you have a point i agree. but what you don't seem to grasp is that Most people will stay a loyal fan to Zenyatta even if she loses, because she has the heart of a champion and she's proven that to us many times, yes Rachel Alexandra was good but will never be as good as Zenyatta. As a personal opinion i believe Zenyatta should have won horse of the year due to the fact that she is the better horse between the two.

@taa1624 : Man O' War's record was 20 for 21 - he lost his fifth race. Zenyatta has the longest undefeated streak in US history (in major competition - a mare named Pepper's Pride won all 19 in New Mexico against all-New Mexico breds) and the second longest of ALL TIME, ALL WORLD. She's currently tied with Eclipse (1700s) and only behind Kincsem in 1870s Europe who won all 54 of her races in a very different time. Zenyatta is having a once-in-a-century career. She's that special.

@lovetheponies I was looking at it because she is a good horse, no denying that. And the name calling is *so* classy of you. Really. And no body was "knocking" your precious Z, just telling the truth. She should not be considered any "queen" 'til she gets Horse of the Year. And then, she'd only be "queen" for ONE YEAR! Bye now!

europeracing 1 year ago 2
@PhatMama469 Zenyatta doesn't need HOY to be queen. True racing queens are crowned by their ability to stay consistent. Rachel may have got it, but what has she been doing this year? Two second places out of 3 races this year. One in a Grade 2 race. Where Zenyatta has been in two Grade 1 races and continued to increase her win streak. Rachel doesn't even qualify for a first pick in the Ladies' Classic. Go praise the fake queen Rachel on a video about her. And leave us Zenyatta fans in peace!
Pepper9873 1 year ago 3
@Pepper9873 OK, this is a NEW YEAR. She was crowned HOY for her MULTIPLE times beating the boys (vs. just 1) and beating girls by LENGTHS (20, 16..). If your horse gets HOY THIS year, then I'll be for it. But there is NO WAY Zenyatta deserved it last year. Now, had she would have defeated boys over and over like my horse did, then I'd think it was a subject for debate LAST year. :) And, with that being said, peacefully I shall go!
PhatMama469 1 year ago
@PhatMama469 If this is a 'new year' then why in the world are you being so horrible? And FYI: if the HOY was determined by everyday people, instead of a board of selected people, Zenyatta would have won.

@Pepper9873 How right you are!
tigerklilac 1 year ago
@Pepper9873 Well, I see your counter point about my new year point, but I also did not think I was being "horrible" just honest. I *do* want her to lose just one time to see how many of you people stay aboard. Cause (not necessarily directing this @ you,) but I bet a lot would drop her like a hot coal if she lost. (Like they did Rachel.) And really, if you think about it, if the board of voters were just everyday ppl, it's hard to say who would have won... they might have tied... dead heat.
PhatMama469 1 year ago
@PhatMama469 You were being horrible. How is "I hope she loses to shut you all up" not being horrible? You came attacking Zen from the start.
If Zen lost people would still love her just like they loved Cigar. People who would just drop a horse when it lost wouldn't go to two retirement ceremonies for said horse. We don't just love her because she's undefeated, but because she has a big personality that we've fallen in love with. She's unique in her running style. And she's just gorgeous.
Pepper9873 1 year ago 5
@Pepper9873 Agree completely! Been watching racing practically since birth (over 50 yrs). Queen ZEN is VERY special, the complete package of talent & personality. I would love her win or lose. Much like the Legendary John Henry. Cigar too & so many others. Remember so many famous horses who lost a race: Man O' War, Citatation, Secretariat, Native Dancer & Rachel too (she runs with all her heart & I respect her talent too). Too me though, ZEN is THE QUEEN!
Don't understand PhatMama's comments!

How lucky we are as race fans to be able to witness two awesome fillies in two years! That is hard to come by! Girl Power!
Both horses are fantastic! Thanks, ladies!

tigerklilac 1 year ago
@ZenyattaFanantic I think she lost because she'd been off for a half year or more, because she grew up considerably during that time and took some time to get used to that, and also because she was paying for the ordeal her connections put er through last year. All legit reasons to lose a few. I'm second to none in my adoration of Queen Z, but knocking a great horse like RA to build her up is classless. She needs no building up, she is in a class by herself. So why do it?

Zenyatta might not have the blinding speed of a legend like Secretariat, but she's exactly what this sport needs right now -- a dominant racehorse who can put on a hell of a show and win with style. Like Trevor Denman said, "She doesn't win by much, but it's the WAY she wins!"
I don't particularly like country music, but this song is beautiful, and I am definitely a fan of this video.
