Calling her just a "fantastic" dancer seems to leave open the possibility that you think some other horse might actually be a better dancer.

That's ridiculous. Please desist in this obvious smear campaign against her.

She is obviously the greatest four-legged dancer in the history of earth, and any suggestion otherwise is a disgrace to the sport.

Point taken, I apologize. Maybe after she retires they'll ask her to be on Dancing With the Stars.

If the big mare can pull off these next two, some of you guys might as well grab a couple bananas and start swinging in the trees...

Pull off these next two??? Today is like a regular athlete competing in the Special Olympics.

No, she only runs to her competition's level.

When they make the movie of her career, Johnny Knoxville should be tapped to play Zenyatta.

Why isn't she in the Goodwood today? Oh that's right...god forbid she has more than one competitive race per year.

Viva Zenyatta...

Viva Zenyatta...

why isn't she?

because she doesn't need to prove her greatness, we should all just assume it. the win streak is the most important thing. one need only look at her races this year to see what they wanted more than anything. not to prove greatness, not to take on the best. it was to tie and maybe pass the glorous pepper's pride for the record.

You and Duh Hoss have a dead heat for unoriginal prose--regardless who you like or dislike .

And I bet you'd give your left knocker to have a horse like Pepper's Pride in your barn .

Duh Hoss also would give his left something , if he could afford it ...

Maybe after she retires, you'll fall head first into a pile of poop and need a number or a piece of paper to tell you what it is.

I guess you didn't like the idea. Can't please everyone.

Now that Rachel is retired, maybe the new forum rivalry can be Zenyatta vs. Dancing Merengue Dog. I think it's clear that Zenyatta is second-best four-legged dancer in the history of the earth.
