Zenyatta Celebration to Kick Off Breeders' Cup

Breeders’ Cup Ltd., along with Zenyatta owners Jerry and Ann Moss, announced today the launch of the inaugural Breeders’ Cup Zenyatta Celebration, to be held Championship Friday, Nov. 4, at the Kentucky Derby Museum. With Zenyatta set to be the World Championships’ “Official Hostess,” the official a...Read More

New York Vinnie · I also understand this 'Celebration' will/might be a permenant program for future BC's. The next step would be to erect a monument opposite Secretariat at the Horseracing Hall of Fame in Saratoga. · 126 days ago ·

getthefacts · if you could actually name something factual that was a "great" accomplishment on the racetrack I could see your point, but seeing as how thats been a struggle for you I don't think it will happen now. If they chose to honor her in Cali I could understand it. Sounds to me like the Museum is just trying to use the hype to generate some publicity. Ecspecially seeing as how they point out she is the "official Hostess" for this years event. I imagine that will change annually. · 119 days ago ·

icyhotboo · You seem deficient in the department of comprhension so I'll try and break it down for you and write slow. You declared a horse who only raced once in Kentucky and finished second at that was being honored. That would leave anyone to believe did something magnificant somewhere else. Don't take it personally as people and their abilities mature differently. Also on you epic thread you stated it wasn't as much the surface but that as you had suspectd horses went slower around turns, hopefully that was meant as a joke. You really offer only redundancy climaxed by repetition. All my love... · 119 days ago ·

getthefacts · Umm the comment must have gone over your heard, how does someone saying a horse being awarded something in a state where she won nothing, equates to her having made major accomplishments elsewhere? While I will agree she accomplished more in other places, I dont think it would take a genius to comprehend that. Maybe you should write slower, or perhaps just take your own advice and learn how to comprehend the correct spelling of comprehension or "comprhension" as you put it, before you make yourself look like a total moron, yet again. · 119 days ago ·

getthefacts · Now as far as the turns comment went. It was my own opinion, but when looking at the Record times, you notice up through 7 furlongs dirt was faster, beyond that the times were either very close or turf was quicker. Except the random distance of 1 3/4 miles. Now while it would indicate that Turf is less demanding over distance, when considering turf tracks are mostley always inside of dirt tacks here in N/A, that would mean they have shorter faster turns, would it not? · 119 days ago ·

getthefacts · Another question Icy, if as you pointed put turf races are faster than dirt races, why do you consider it even the slightest bit impressive that in 2009 BCC Zenyatta beat the likes of 2 turf horses who ran their 1 1/4 win in 2:04:19,2:02:91 for Gio Ponti, and he lost to horses who won in times of 2:05 or more. And Twice Over's aren't any better. So why is a horse who beats slow turf horses great? · 119 days ago ·

Mike in SB · I don't understand the comments about Zenyatta's connection to Kentucky. This is a Breeders Cup celebration/party not a Churchill Downs one. Zenyatta won two Breeders Cup races and finished second in one of the most exciting Breeders Cup races ever run. I can think of only two horses that can match that record. And this is to raise money for charity, I believe they picked Zenyatta because they felt she would be the one to raise the most money. · 118 days ago ·

medlocke · Bernardini is a fantastic choice to bread Zenyatta with, IMO. Bernardini is rapidly proving himself to be one of, if not the premier young sire in America. For awhile, I had been hearing it would likely be A.P.Indy that Zenyatta would be bread first to. But A.P.Indy is, after all, the sire of Bernardini. European owners are snatching up Bernardini bread foals like lightning. Two of Bernardini's very promising European juveniles raced at this year's Breeders Cup. The filly, Theysken's Theory. And the Godolphin owned colt, Biondetti. Biondetti also has the distinction of being the first G1 winner sired by Bernardini. Having won the G1 Premio Gran Criterium at San Siro, Italy back in the fall. John Gosden also trains an Andrew Lloyd Weber owned colt named Treasury Devil who was sired by Bernardini that Weber paid $1 million dollars for. He's also a very promising colt. Having already won 3 of 4 lifetime starts. I personally think the prospect of a Zenyatta-Bernardini bread foal could prove to be something very special. JMO. · 378 days ago ·

There's no way Zenyatta could've been denied HOY in 2010. Not with any kind of honest justification. I remember Seth Hancock stating in post-Breeders Cup Classic comments, "didn't we just decide HOY?" If that was the case, didn't Zenyatta's win in the 2009 Breeders Cup Classic decide 2009 HOY? Then how could Hancock justify Blame being convincingly beaten in the 2010 JCGC at Belmont? What, he had an off day? Well, then Zenyatta had an off day in the Breeders Cup Classic. The only difference between their off days? Blame was beaten far worse by far less in the JCGC than Zenyatta was beaten by in the Breeders Cup Classic. Congrats to team Zenyatta!!!

jlp9185 · Well, I guess three is a charm and the Eclipse voters FINALLY got it right! I, for one, am tired of reading how Blame had the better year. The horse began 2010 winning a G3 event in which the second place finisher was a 24-1 longshot by the name of No Advantage who was winless in 2010. Blame's next race was on his home turf, Churhill Downs, and he beat a promising colt by the name of Battle Plan. It was later revealed that Battle Plan was injured most likely during the race and retired. The Whitney was probably one of Blame's more impressive wins since he beat Quality Road, however, keep in mind that Blame had a 5 pound weight advantage. The JCGC had to be Blame's least impressive race of the year as he made little headway on Haynesfield lead and had to settle for a distant second. When Zenyatta won the BC Classic in 2009, critics dismissed her win by saying that she won because she was on her home track. This year's BC was on Blame's home turf, and somehow, I did not hear the same argument discussed after Blame's win. Blame had the perfect trip and Zenyatta did not. In the first half of the race, Zenyatta had to overcome a number of obstacles: a slow start, an unfamiliar surface and dirt being kicked up in her face which resulted in her spotting the field by 20 lengths. Most horses would have folded with such odds against them, but champions find a way to beat the odds that are stacked against them. While Blame won the race, Zenaytta demonstrated demonstrated a courage and spirit (hmmm...did we see that with Blame in the JCGC?) that made her lost more impressive than Blame's win which in the end was by a nose. Zenyatta is a 6 year old mare, and the oldest horse in the race, who almost beat a 4 year old colt in his prime. In 2010, Zenyatta won 5 G1s, tied the Norht American record with Pepper's Pride at 19 consecutive wins, broke Giant Causeway's record of most consecutive G1 wins and is second to only the great John Henry in G! wins after the completion of the 2010 season. Her charisma coupled with her record won her the award. Ther is a lot wrong with the sport of horse racing right now and Zenyatta represented the silver lining in the sport. In years to come, she will be remembered with the likes of Man O'War, Secretariat and Seabiscuit to name a few and Blame will only be a footnote. No, as I stated in the beginning, the Eclipse voters understood this this and finally got it right. The best horse won, period. · 386 days ago ·

Zenyatta At Last

The night of the Eclipse Awards belonged to two old broads--Marylou Whitney, a latter-day unsinkable Molly Brown, and Zenyatta, who in case you haven't been paying attention is a horse. Marylou, probably richer than the Queen of England, was 85 the day before Christmas, and Zenyatta, who has a few b...Read More

mdracing69 · Zenyatta's gritty effort should silence the critics. Even if you are not a Zenyatta fan you have to admire the effort she put forth in the BC Classic. The sluggish start made all the difference. Take nothing away from Blame. He is a talented colt. · · 459 days ago ·

medlocke · Sometimes you learn about a horse in defeat than you do with a win. Zenyatta ran an incredible race to be beaten only a nose. After Mike Smith had her parked 20+ lengths off of a field this good. Only Blame, running the race of his life, was able to withstand what she brought to bear. I take nothing away from Blame. He's a great champion in his own right. Racing on a track that he dearly loves. He beat Zenyatta fair and square. But to blow by the rest of that field, and come so close takes nothing away from Zenyatta's legacy. If anything, it just solidifies it further. She's all hear. A champion's champion. All the chants of "poly-Zen" should forever be put to rest, IMO. This mare ran huge to come from so far out of it. There's no question she's one of America's all-time greats. Even Man O' War, Secretariat, Citation, Native Dancer, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Spectacular Bid, or any of the other all-time greats were beaten at least once in their careers by horses they weren't supposed to lose to. In this case, many gave Blame a huge shot at defeating Zenyatta. And she challenged him to the very end. JMO. · 459 days ago ·

Patti · Ditto JMO. There's hasn't been a horse in a very long time that has created such excitment and joy as Zenyetta has. She has earned the respect of horse fans and people that have never been to a horse race. A champion athlete. Mike Smith did a fantastic job. I only hope that the powers that may be understand her contribution and give her the well deserved Horse of the Year. · 459 days ago ·

ThaSpa · My God. Zenyatta fans, there is so much to be proud of, she ran a tremendous race. She proved she is truly a champion. With that in mind, STOP WITH THE EXCUSES. Do you realize that you are doing nothing but cheapening her? Now it’s home field advantage. Give me a break. Did you mention her home field advantage over the Euros and turf specialists and dirt horses last year when she won on her home turf? No chance. In 12 hours I’ve heard she only lost because she got off to a bad start, she was bumped, she got cut off, she had traffic, she got a bad ride. You know what? That’s horseracing. It happens to every horse. Do you think every horse she’s ever beaten in the final strides never ran into any of these obstacles? I have nothing but admiration for the way she ran yesterday but listening to these excuses is pathetic. · 458 days ago ·

bob46 · The Spa hit the nail on the head. There cannot be any doubt that Zenyatta is one of the greatest but for her supporters to complain about home court advantage is ridicilous. She had this advantage for 90% of her races. She actually ran her greatest race in a losing effort. This is what happens when you race against the best quality horses. Her races in California were against medicore horses at best and really proved nothing. Its poetic that it took a loss to show what a truely great horse she really is. This was really one of the great efforts in racing history and I for one would say she is one of the best horses (male or female ever). I just wish that the Mosses would have had more faith in her and let her compete in races (east or west coast) that would have been more chalangeing. · 458 days ago ·

railbird1 · to the spa and bob46: You guys are the ones who are pathetic. These are not excuses they are just the facts. Zenyatta was obviously the best horse she just didn't win because of bad racing luck. You guys can't tell me you never excused a horses loss because of a bad trip. If you do you're both liars.Secondly saying the Mosses should have had more faith in her is ridiculous.She took the exact same path to the Breeders cup this year as she did last year and that resulted in a win in the BC Classic. There's an old saying if it aint broke don't try and fix it. If you guys owned this horse I don't think you go against the advice of your trainer and force him to change her schedule. If you did it would be like acting as your own lawyer in a trial and having a fool for a client. · 458 days ago ·

I cried, too, Mike, But, I'll never get over the thrill of seeing her in person at 2009's BC Classic, and prancing through the paddock for the crowd. She is the biggest horse I've ever seen in my life, and to see her perform was the highlight of my life, and tops seeing Seattle Slew. She's just gigantic. To come up a head short against the guys, and being in quite a traffic jam, well....kudos to her for running her heart out and being so close. She's fabulous! · 458 days ago ·

lewpe · All of Zenyatt's camp did a great job. The public loves Zenyatta and she has done more for horse racing than any other horse outside of John Henry. She has piqued interest in this sport like I have not seen in many, many years. She is more than a thoroughbred, she is a true athlete. While we were all hoping for the win, coming in second in a race run the way this race was run is still great but honestly in our hearts, she won. She has showed her class over and over again. She deserved Horse of the Year last year and if the public were voting, she would get it for sure. Hopefully, those concerned will take into consideration what she has done for the sport as well as her race accomplishments. If the Moss' decide to retire her, then she desrves to retire in a comfortable barn, sprinting occassionally, grazing and being treated like the Queen that she is. · 458 days ago ·

lewpe · I should quantify my previous comment as to what Zenyatt has done for horse racing. I am speaking in terms of recent years. Goodness knows Secretariat, Ruffian, Seabiscuit and other great horses brought much enthusiasm to the sport. But of late with the recession and the number of casinos that have been opened in California and internet betting, the horse racing industry has suffered immensely and Zenyatta has brought an interest back in the sport at a crucial time. · 458 days ago ·

If you can find one race where a better trip for another horse would have beaten Zenyatta you're a better man than I am because I can't. I'm not close to being a hypocrite, so tell me which race she would have lost if another horse had a better trip. I want to agree with you and will if you can find that race.

ThaSpa · I’ll be honest, I’ve watched every one of Zenyatta’s races at one point or another, and other than a few races I don’t remember or paid attention to the other horses in the race. Right now this site is being overrun by flash in the pan, Zenyatta-biased horseracing fans that will be gone the day she retires; so having objective discussions at this point with most people is not possible. I’m not saying you fall in that category but you’d have to admit it’s ridiculous right now. My point was that every horse that has ever run has faced trouble during a race at one point or another. Zenyatta’s turn was Saturday. That’s horseracing. There’s a major gamble to trying to deep close into a 12 horse field on dirt. The most obvious potential issue is traffic; secondly, she’s going to get 1000 times dirtier than she will on synthetic, third, you run the risk of falling too far behind against good competition. Turns out she ran into all of these & got burned. But that’s the risk of running that style. She still almost overcame it. But if you go into a race knowing that x y & z could happen if you try to deep close & then x y & z happen, you can’t blame that for your loss. Otherwise it’s a no-lose situation. When she wins, it’s her talent, when she loses, it’s not her fault. Wouldn’t life be great that way??? But that’s exactly what Zen fans are doing & they are cheapening the horse they love by doing it. · 457 days ago ·

bob46 · Railbird, did you evn read my comment. I could not have been more complimentry to Zenyatta. She ran a super race and surely proved her greatness on any kind of track. My point being that the majority of her races to this point have been against so so competition. If Blame or Quality Road had been running against the horses she had been beating they would have been undeafted also. It is ironic that her one loss proved to most honest people what her 19 wins failed to do. that she truely is a horse for the ages. · 457 days ago ·

railbird1 · Hey Spa: I agree with you about the x y and z thing. Although it's probably more like A to Z there are so many things that can go wrong in a horse race, but that's what makes Zenyattas streak so amazing. She faced those possibilities every time and still was 19-0 before Saturday. I don't think people are cheapening her. I just think people are saddened that x y and z prevented her from winning a 2nd BC Classic and ending her career in storybook fashion. Everyone wants that happy ending to a great story. I'm not one of those flash in the pan Z fans, if fact I didn't think she would win last years Classic, but when she did in such dramatic fashion she made me a true believer. I too am saddened we didn't get that storybook ending. It would have been great for the sport we all love. That's all it is, just sadness we didn't get that happy ending. I'll get over it because like you said that's horseracing. Even you have to admit it would have been great for racing if she had won. When people don't get their happy ending they want to blame the villain, in this case the villain is x y and z it's just human nature. · 457 days ago ·

Icyhotboo · bob46 I believe your so confused your confusing me.On the one hand you say she's great but then say if other horses had against the ones she did they would be undefeated also.Quality Road got crushed br Summer Bird ( remember him, also by little 3yo filly named Rachel who ducked Z ). I live in New York state (on the east coast) so don't hit me with that bias stuff. And as for Rachel I believe she is the best filly ever and John Nerud of whom you may have heard agrees with me on that. Horse racing is a business and all owners make decisions about their horses with money being the primary factor. A great example of this is Quality Road running in the classic , its actually more profitable forhis owner to have run 12th in the classic than blow away the field in the dirt mile because running him there would say to all the world he is not meant for the classic distance which he isn't. To the point if I can remember it being a business who draws more fans whats his name or Zenyatta.Who appeared on Prime Time Television for an hour long segment,who thrills you EVERY time she runs? · 457 days ago ·

Also a valid argument can be made for Rachel being the best filly and Zenyatta the best mare of all time but you will live to see the second coming before you see another Secretariat. Go to you tube watch him run. Dr. Fager was my personal favorite but he was no match for Secretariat except maybe at a mile but beyond that distance Secretariat ran FASTER and FASTER than he did the mile which defies the laws of the universe. If you want to argue that point take it up with someone much higher than me. · 443 days ago ·

For all of my years spent in horse racing, Zenyatta will definitely be the "my famous horse" that I record in my memoirs for my grand children. The team who has brought this horse to magnificence by using good judgement and pushing away greed, as some would have done to run her at three, should be commended for making her one of the most famous horses ever in the racing world. You go!

Now that would be a sporting decision if Mosses/Shirreffs decide to go in the Classic. If these connections do decide on Classic, I wonder how much influence Rachel Alexandra's campaign, including important wins against males, will have had on that decision. Then again, who cares about the motives! It'll be great for U.S. thoroughbred racing and an exciting Classic!
