That third one is pretty cute and funny.

It looks like she is imitating her fans.

I was kneeling down to get a different angle on my photos and she walked up to me and started sniffing my camera. I got several shots of her snout before she started trying to eat my camera. I had to let her sniff it for a while before she'd let me go back to taking photos. She's very inquisitive and loves attention from people - if you like personable horses, you'll love Zenyatta

Yes, I'm one of THOSE fans...

Believe me, I understand being a drooling fan when it comes to horses.

For Dog's sake, I used to sing in the shower about Rahy. I was obsessed.

I was obsessed with IC too. Shortly after his debut, I got a derby future bet on him at 150/1, and I checked for workouts for him every single day, even though I knew he was not in training.

Still, I never became completely idiotic about things like some of these Z fans do. I would never have called Rahy the greatest horse ever and than gotten all defensive like when anyone dared question his obvious greatness.

Believe it or not, I do like Zenyatta. She's a cool horse that has a really neat presence. Her connections are assholes though, and a significant number of her fans have completely lost touch with reality.

I don't see you being one of them.

I'm pretty sure I'm not one of her crazed fans, there were some very obsessed people at HP this past weekend

I enjoy the show she puts on and I am fortunate enough to have had a chance to be around her on several occasions and find her to be a great personality... But I felt that way about the $4,000 claimer that I rescued (Nopie).

I was just as excited to see Richard's Kid this weekend (and I won a heck of a lot more money on him!)... I am a fan of this sport and respect and admire the stars of this sport - jockeys

, trainers

and the horses

You need take another look in the mirror, ther are 2 sides of the obsession.
