Something many of you do not understand. An all time great

Her wonderfully planned campaign culminated in the most electric breeders cup ever seen. I would think any common racing fan could understand that

We are very lucky Mr and Mrs Moss were the owners. I cannot think of any other owner who would have continued on with her after they win the first Classic. Sheriffs, what a marvelous job hes done throughout her life. Instead of knocking these people you guys should commend the effort of a champion, and thank the people who let the world share in such a special animal.


Couldn't agree more. Many around me had Blame as their bets but with Zenyatta closing they too jumped on the Zen Love Bus ( me included) and tried cheering her home. Something I have never seen before and may never again.

BTW Some of the ladies dressed up in crazy Zenyatta fan wear could have stayed home as I never saw one in a betting line. Just taking up space. At least they weren't drinkers as a rule.
