What a filly..The $5.000,000 Breeders Cup Classic goes to Zenyatta ridden by Mike Smith...

Zenyatta named after the album from the 80s by The Police.


14 straight wins and she now retires undefeated.

She came on late and shut 'em down. Nice.

BTW, Zenyatta Mondata was one of my first cassette tapes. For you youngsters, cassettes were...ah, forget it.

i tip my cap....i doubted her...

the inside seemed biased the entire two days

and didn't get a blistering pace to run into....

much the best...

i still despise the plastic though especially when it comes to the top class races :laugh:

I would've liked to have seen that #11 horse hang on for Place and a decent payout on the exacta at 39-1.

it will be close but i agree

she should win cause she showed up and proved all doubters including me.....

at the same time they did the right thing with rachael...

she's not a horse fit for the plastic.....she's a speed horse not a late kicker....woulda get killed on plastic like curlin.....

great ride by smith too by the way...similiar to kent D's ride on fu peg in the derby....

I dont think she was 100% and she still won.. She is a freak, once in a lifetime mare.

she's a great horse don't get me wrong

but you can't go undefeated with that style running on dirt

you can close into a non solid pace on the plastic....its alot harder to do on dirt

its just the speed vs. stamina/kick debate....

the great horses on dirt historically are horses that have some speed and can grind it out like a curlin...so they don't need a pace....

plastic changes that to stamina/kick horses and getting a pace to run into isn't as important....

she was 100%......gyno........she is the greatest astrodirt horse ever....and her one race at oaklawn will make her a top 3 filly or mare ever IMO..........i still think rachel would murder her on dirt........but that wont ever be decided...........unless they run a breeders cup on dirt next year and they both show( longshot)......hope you had a good day

The race was unbelieveable . Gosh , can you imagine the money a match race between her and Rachel would bring. For God's sake, i hope their connections never let that happen. let them meet down the line if it is in the cards.She had a bad trip the whole way especially out of the gate and still toyed with the boy's. Remind's me of the girl that used to tease me when i was 15.

what distance?

think at a quarter after this race i'd honestly say zanyatta would be the fav...assuming there is pace to keep rachael honest

obviously match race rachael wins on dirt almost every time.....match race would be pointless....just two totally different horses with totally different surface likings with totally different styles....

zanyetta answered the 1/4 question i had....rachael still hasn't
