If there are any DTers in southern California that would like to visit her but don't normally have access to the backside at the track, I'll be down at HP on December 1st and would be happy to help get you access to see her, just PM me and we can discuss the details.

I think this is great and it's great that Team Zenyatta allows access to her, and if I was in the area of So. CA, I'd take you up on the offer. How very kind of you.
Having access works okay for some horses and not for others. A lot of horses don't want to be bothered. They're not all "hail fellow, well met" like Zenyatta.
