Joe Drape (I could probably quote every line he's written about her):
The New York Times has a policy of not allowing reporters to vote for awards, but if I had a vote, I would cast it with the more than 72,000 people who gave Zenyatta a warm and raucous reception as she returned to the grandstand with a tearful Mike Smith on her back. . .
My vote is with the people. Zenyatta is not only Horse of the Year. She’s the Horse of a Lifetime.
