The Legend of Zenyatta
The Rail ^ | 10/31/2010 | Bennett Liebmann

Trainer D. Wayne Lukas, while slightly skeptical of Zenyatta’s achievements, says, “If she comes back here (in the Classic) and does it on the dirt, I think it’ll stamp her. If she whips them twice in the Classic on two different surfaces, I would say you’d have to mention her with Spectacular Bid and Secretariat and stuff.”

Featured on 60 Minutes this evening, Zenyatta (age 6) is ready for her final race. The Breeder's Cup Classic will be run on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky. Zenyatta will look to repeat her 2009 victory in this race. This time, on a dirt surface.

Don't miss it, sports fans. Zenyatta Mondatta!

She still hasn’t beaten anybody and her speed figures are uninspiring. I’ll try to beat her.

Zenyatta is a great mare and I commend her owners for racing her this long. D. Wayne has a lot to do with this, as he’s not afraid to run the fillies. Rachel Alexander is also a great mare and has beaten the boys on more than one occasion. Let’s hope for a safe race and a Zenyatta win!

As Bob Seger once said, "I love to watch her strut".
