Zenyatta's first turnout at Lanes End (video)

[trackrat59]

Zenyatta appears to be very happy and enjoying her paddock. I'm very happy for her. She seems to have settled in nicely.

I've been thinking a lot about her over the past few days. I don't know why exactly. I guess pondering over this HOY thing.

I'm thankful to Zenyatta for bringing so much positive attention to horse racing in 2010. All of us know we need all the positive vibes toward the sport that we can get. She gave us more positive publicity than any human or groups of humans could have conjured up.

I don’t know if it’s mentioned in another thread but here’s the link to Steve Haskin’s 12/20 column, In Response To “I Lied”. It’s a long read but it’s great. It really ties it all together.

Merry Christmas to Zenyatta, Blame, Rachel and all horses every where. Rest in Peace to all the wonderful horses we lost in 2010. We miss all of you. My special favorites were Skippy, Tuscan Evening, and Tiz Chrome.
