Why? What would that do? That would be like kicking a broken clock that's missing it's internal mechanisms and expecting it to work.

If Mike Smith says Zen is the greatest horse of all time, that makes HIM the jockey that rode the good majority of the races won by the "greatest horse of all time". It would be cool beans to be known as the jockey who rode the greatest horse of all time.

When Mikey gets tired of riding, politics might work well for him.

Well there are plenty of drunks in politics.

Yes. This is a very important point to focus on while this man trained Zenyatta for the 2009 and now, the 2010 Classic, under everyone's noses.

You forgot to say he is probably a Nazi too.

Better than Secretariat? He didn't REALLY say yes, but close.

His talking voice is much different than his calling voice.

I thought it was a rather superficial look at Zenyatta. Everyone they interviewed tried to articulate how amazing Zenyatta is in person but it came across as goofy. You have to experience her in person, she has a presence that can not truly be described. From my experience I have found her to be curious, intelligent, completely aware of her surroundings and amazingly gentle for such a large animal.

Comparing her to Secretariat is not fair, saying she is the greatest thoroughbred of all time is not fair, but saying she is one of the best mares to race and entertain racing fans in recent memory is reasonable in my opinion.

I do think Mike Smith was right about one thing - I think she does have at least one more gear that we haven't seen yet. I think she does enough to win and will do just enough to win on Saturday.

it was a puff piece with jouralistic integrity checked at the door
i love that 60 minutes bills itself as investigative journalism
for a minute there i thought i was watching entertainment tonight
absolutely no texture or touch for the game or the back story
watching Z drink a guiness was cool i was however disappointed it was not from a nitro can but that bogus bottle crap
