I can appreciate this comment... I just got home from a trip down south to see Zenyatta race and it was a great experience. Yes, she has some seriously rabid fans and it appears her connections have taken an "easy path" but the way I see it, they could have retired her at the end of last year but didn't - they kept her racing not only for the local fans enjoyment or their own but apparently Zenyatta enjoys still racing as well.

Take away the psycho fans, the short sighted connections and the apparent weak schedule - what this mare does everytime she races is a treat to watch. The pawing, prancing, posing and come from behind wins are not something we will see many times in our lives. I just think that if you don't appreciate seeing this mare perform, you are truly missing something.

I've only been following racing for five years now, what other horses from the past have had this type of entertainment value? What other horses have created such crazed fan followings like this? Just curious...
