I watched this vid b4 the Classic and noticed that's how they trained her...To Lose! She always passes her rivals b/c she's soo intelligent. Sherriffs shouldve left her alone and let her win. Even if she hits the lead too soon she will run the daylights out of any horse. Watch the Vanity on 7-5-08 she keeps on running and doesn't let Tough Tizs Sis pass her!

@motosneerful No Moto, ponypall is correct, it's called pursuit, just like human track runners in training, she ran at a set pace and worked a bit down the stretch, keeping her locked in on any horse in front of her, she is ready to rock an roll, :)

It really is slightly eerie the way she 'locks on.' In the helmet-cam video Shireffs posted last year, you can look "down the sights" between her ears at the other horse. There's a certain feeling of the inevitable -- you know she'll catch him, you just don't know when.

I see what Shirreffs was going for and looks like it worked, she looks fantastic!!

Dear ponypal: Just a futile attempt at humor. Did you know that a $2 win parlay on all of Zenyatta's races is now $30,000 and would be $54,000 without the fifteen percent track take?

@motosneerful It wasn't a race...just a workout. I'm sure they paced her.

First time Zenyatta's been beaten. What was it three/quarters of a length?
