In my 40+ years as a racing fan, no single horse has done more for racing in a single year than Zenyatta. Rewarding her for this singular accomplishment transcends all other reasons for casting a HOTY ballot.

You must be kidding. Where were you in 1973? I won't even bring up the additional obvious examples over the past 40 years because 1973 alone slams your statement into Zen-la-la-land.

Yes, Zenyatta brought a lot of attention to racing this year. That's great. She brought attention to a sport, our sport, that is not as popular as it was in years past. Remember, it used to be called the sport of kings. I for one, and I'm sure many others do too, appreciate ANY horse that brings positive attention to horse racing.

Thank you Zen. I've enjoyed watching you run. You're beautiful, a good dancer, you seem to have your taste for alcohol under control, and I wish I were tall and had long, lanky legs like you.

Horse of the year? Not so sure. I will say this. I for one will be very happy when Zen goes off to her first romantic encounter. Hopefully the number of Zen threads will decrease. I wish her a long, happy, and healthy horse life. But, enough already.

Ahh, what I'm I thinking. Everyone will be arguing over who she should have been bred to.

The Moss's are very kind of OLD FRIENDS (and they are, I don't deny them that), but is that a good enough reason?

That woman is a hack who had an Eclipse Award taken from her for plagiarism.
