So sad. She looked a lot like War Front. I bet she'd have been amazing. I don't think Zenyatta was bred this year so that'll be 2 years in a row for both Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra that there won't be babies of theirs coming to the track. Rachel is likely done, obviously. I wonder if they had selected a stallion for Zenyatta in 2015 yet and if so, whether that would be War Front again.
