We were at the Breeders Classic on that day, and could not believe how she came from the back of the pack, to be so close to win, it was very heartbreaking, you could of heard a pin drop at the disbelief that she lost, but the next morning Zenyatta was in her glory out having some grass with Mario and having pictures taking by hundreds of people, some of them crying because they got so close to her…in her fans hearts and hers she never lost that race, she is proud as ever!!! Love you Zenyatta and have a happy retirement:)

I am heartbroken that she lost, but she won over her harshest critics in the homestretch rally. Sign the petition for her to be Horse of the Year…http://www.thepetitionsite.com/fb/1/zenyatta-for-2010-horse-of-the-year/

Zenyatta’s stretch drive is like no other horse ever. I had to put the tape in slow motion to see. She was still coming and not until the finish line was over did Mike Smith let up on her. She had caught Blame but ran out of time. She needed to be outside the pack on the turn and history would have been made. It is such a shame for racing now. Because the message boards are full of arguments about the race and horse of the year. Please have Garret Gomez give you the honest truth if it doesn’t cost him his job. He knows who the best horse was that day and it takes a real man to stand up and say it. He won that is what matters but honesty in what he experienced would mean a lot to all the fans. I know you have to protect your horse. But be realistic about what every one saw. The last ten feet from the finish tells the story. Even Trevor Denman thought she was going to make it. Because he had saw her do it so many times before. Please honest and true journalism to a Nation that needs a good role model Superstar. Wow!!! What race was Dell Hancock watching? Here is his quote “said Dell Hancock, whose family owns Claiborne. “I don’t think she ever passed Blame — not even in the gallop-out. I think he needs to talk with Garret Gomez who said he thought he had it all the way and there she was.Everybody who knows horse racing knows what this could have meant. I would love to hear from Gomez Blame’s jockey if she had one more stride. The far turn and the sideways move was to much even for Zenyatta. I had to go through history to see if there was ever a stretch run like that ever. That was history.

She is my favorite horse in the world. I wished shed won, but that last push proved how much she loves to run. If she hadnt been caught up in traffic near the end she would have made it, she really has Godgiven speed. I hope she races again just to prove the critics wrong.

I hate that she didn’t win. If she had one more stride she could have won. She is still an amazing horse and to be the only mare and to be the oldest was amazing. I still can’t believe how tall she is. Would love to ride her 🙂

Zenatta is the greatest. She should definitely be named HORSE OF THE YEAR. I sincerely hope her owners do not retire her, especially if she is working well

Absolutely amazing mare. She could have won this race but hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

Thank you to all the Zenyatta connections. I’ve had a great time following the Queen in all her races. She single-handedly brought horse racing to a new public. I agree with Mike Smith, there are no studs worthy of her. She is truly one of a kind. Again, thank you for allowing Zenyatta to race this year.
