After the BC Classic - she came back hot and dirty - looking so tired that if you sprayed her with a hose you might knock her over. Those are the type of efforts horses don't always come back from - especially females.

That's probably the single most interesting thing said on here about Zenyatta.

Of course, all the ZT'ers (Zenyattards) out there will tell you she was tired because she nearly fell down when that horse crashed into her, plus she was tied up from being in the cold.
