I can't get The Independent to load, but saw this at the Paulick Report:
Chris McGrath of The Independent, reporting from Churchill Downs, observes a certain euphoric fear surrounding the hype of undefeated Zenyatta.
"With her immaculate record, defeat in the Breeders’ Cup Classic would feel like the violation of a vestal. And as the hour approaches, the euphoria she has brought to the American sport is complicated by a contagious frisson of fear."
ETA: Finally got the page to load. US racing holds breath before one last cry of 'Go Zenyatta'
