Despite John Sherriff's less than white teeth (maybe it's from his share of Guinnes Stout), I like him. He loves his charge and isn't afraid to get all gushy about her. I find nothing wrong with that. I did kind of smile when Mike Smith said through misting eyes that no stallion was worthy of her.
C'mon folks, lighten up. It's hype, and it's only the beginning should she win the Classic. Get used to it or just tune off everything horseracing, because 99% of it will be slathering over Zenyatta until well after the Eclipse Awards.

I kinda thought it was a little creepy.
