Pretty sure when her first foal is born, the event is gonna look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX07j9SDFcc

Is "Vox Populi" Latin for Pretty Horsie? Eh, she's big, she's beautiful, and she's a sweetheart so she does give us a good image publicly. I do think it's a different distinction from Horse of the Year and Hall of Fame status. Kind of a shame that Penny wasn't moved to create this honor for a horse like Barbaro who probably still enjoys a healthy amount of name recognition from the general public to this day and inspired donations and retirement efforts. This award's not going to gain too much attention outside the racing community. Zenyatta's amazing and deserves the love everyone's bestowed on her. I hope folks don't OD. I'm just waiting for them to announce a statue.

Has Santa Anita rechristened the Lady's Secret "the Zenyatta Stakes" again?
