John Shirreffs press conference about Zenyatta, pt. 1 of 2 - Churchill Downs, 11/3/10

Part one of two parts of a press conference John Shirreffs gave,
answering questions about Zenyatta at Churchill Downs on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 (three days before the Breeders' Cup Classic.)

I came upon this press conference by accident. I was walking back from Z's barn when I heard noises behind me, and found I was followed by the two Mosses and two Shirreffses, and they were followed in turn by a phalanx of reporters with cameras, microphones, notepads, and pens. I stepped out of the way to let them pass, and saw they went into a small building on the backside with some title about media.

Thinking, "What do I have to lose?" I slipped inside at the end of the crowd
and found a spot to stand along the wall, where I filmed these two videos.

My camera's memory card became full, thereby ending part one abruptly. I
had a bit of trouble trying to get a second card to work and lost some of
the questions and answers, but the second part of the interview is
important. John S. explains how he wants people to see Zenyatta and why.

See part 2.
