Zenyatta photos

[DerbyCat]

I went by the barn yesterday before flying home and spent some time with Zenyatta. I took some photos and thought I'd share them...

That third one is pretty cute and funny.

It looks like she is imitating her fans.

Wow, that third one really is pretty goofy!

I was kneeling down to get a different angle on my photos and she walked up to me and started sniffing my camera. I got several shots of her snout before she started trying to eat my camera. I had to let her sniff it for a while before she'd let me go back to taking photos. She's very inquisitive and loves attention from people - if you like personable horses, you'll love Zenyatta

Yes, I'm one of THOSE fans...

Believe me, I understand being a drooling fan when it comes to horses.

For Dog's sake, I used to sing in the shower about Rahy. I was obsessed.

I was obsessed with IC too. Shortly after his debut, I got a derby future bet on him at 150/1, and I checked for workouts for him every single day, even though I knew he was not in training.

Still, I never became completely idiotic about things like some of these Z fans do. I would never have called Rahy the greatest horse ever and than gotten all defensive like when anyone dared question his obvious greatness.

Believe it or not, I do like Zenyatta. She's a cool horse that has a really neat presence. Her connections are assholes though, and a significant number of her fans have completely lost touch with reality.

I don't see you being one of them.
