But, since Zenyatta did so much for the sport and brought so many fans to the game, I'm sure we will begin to see the impact. Handle should begin to go up across the board and I'm sure horse racing won't play second fiddle to Little league Baseball now on TV. After those two things happen I'll be selling bridges to anyone interested.

as it turns out the 2010 breeders classic has turned into a "key" race!
if you won the cup that day, you lost on jan. 17th 2011.

One out of three isn't bad. The 2010 goals of Zenyatta's connections were to retire undefeated, win the BC Classic, and be named HOY.

What a joke.
The eclipse awards should be decided on the track, not on TVG. Blame won the top two races in terms of field quality all year..(Whitney & the BC Classic) Zenyatta spent all year racing against restricted company in Cali. (except for her win at Oaklawn against restricted company.) Everyone that voted for her should really re-think what this great sport is all about!!!

I think the award itself just changed... that people who vote will now feel comfortable voting for a career and not just for a year.
I know, I know, don't need a lecture about what it's supposed to be for but I do think it just kinda evolved before our eyes. It's putting the sport first, in the eyes of the voters. My opinion anyway and I'm good with the outcome as I would have been with Blame winning. A couple of you though... you surprise the hell out of me. What a bunch of whiny little drama queens. Brilliant post, Sightseek and yeah I agree with MaTH this is not sad no matter how you look at it. This is the new reality... fan-friendly voting... and there's a reason. The powers that be... I see it as their chance to continue the Zenyatta thing... to cash in on it for lack of better wording. People who wouldn't normally give a crap might because they know her name. I think that was the motivation anyway and it was a collective individual thing if that makes sense. LIke "for the good of the sport" kinda mentality. Of course I could have my head up my ass...

How many Zenyatta voters do we think could beat the take-out over the course of a year?
