Default This comes as no surprise

The only thing left is the late October announcement that Zenyatta will skip the BC because she "is tired after her rigorous March to October campaign."

And don't forget she also beat Gio Ponti, Awesome Gem, and two Euro's in the big one.

Yeah, but don't forget, Rachel lost 2 races within the last 20 months or so.

Z deserves HOY if she wins the Z stakes, since she could easily be the first horse ever to go undefeated in races named after themselves.

Horse of the year? She deserves to be the #1 race horse of all-time. Forget Secretariat, Spectacular Bid, Citation and all of those other losers who lost races.

If she retires undefeated in races named after her, she really should skip the horse racing hall of fame and just be inducted into the baseball hall of fame.

And win the Nobel Prize for total awesomeness as well.

Isn't she already? What more does she need to prove. I don't recall ever reading that Secretariat danced before his races.
