I have never felt a place shake like Santa Anita did, and see so many happy people in one place.
I probably had the worst two days of my wagering life these last two, but what Zenyatta did today was worth every penny. Absolutely amazing.

It's amazing what a performance like that could do. I was at the Haskell when a monsoon rolled in causing all kinds of scratches resulting in a couple 3 horse fields. I considered leaving it was so bad. Then I had the privilage to witness Rachael run and that alone turned it into one of the best days I have ever had at the track. Looking foward to the timeline, safe travels to everyone there.

The sad part is, that the mainstream media still could give a rat's arse. Zenyatta made her first appearance in my local rag on page 7 of the Sports section. The 0-7 Bucs dominated the front page.
Also, the local Fox station sports chick just had highlights of Gators, FSU, Canes, UCF, TB Lightning and Buccaneers. No mention of the BC.

It's really sad the lack of exposure that the (especially when great stuff happens) sport gets. But with that being said, unless you are a fan of the sport you really don't understand how great/exciting a performance like that was yesterday. It's unfortunate that most of mainstream America doesn't care and the mainstream media decides to punish those whose do.
