The best part about her personality is how kind hearted she is. She just wants to win... but she never wants to embarrass other horses.
Doesn't matter if she's running against Gio Ponti or against Beulah Park maiden claiming fillies .. she'll just run to her competitions level and never win by any more than a carefully measured 2 or 3 lengths... sometime not even that far if she's feeling especially generous. That kind of compassion shown for fellow horse is so refreshing.

Maybe they can get Trevor to be a judge on that lame dancing show and he can shoot his load off about how great she's dancing.

Only a truly great one could have somehow made us all forget about Nashoba's Key.

January 2010:
"I would say we're probably going to travel a bit," Moss said. "I'd like to see her run in some dirt races." "We'll run against anybody."

zenyatta should have a separate hall of fame, since she's perfect while the other members are not.
matter of fact, i think they should re-name the eclipse awards the zenyatta awards-she should win the first of them. how cool would that be?

and don't forget:
Finally came the show-stopper before the race. When Wallace announced her name in the post parade, Zenyatta did something she never had before. "Has anyone ever seen a horse bow before a race?" said trainer John Shirreffs' wife, Dottie. "She bowed twice when she was announced." "I thought I'd seen it all with her, but I'd never seen her do that," said Smith. She now has songs written about her. They gave away sets of glasses with her picture on them. One man stood in a long betting line and ordered 20 win tickets on her, $2 each. When he left the window, he said he bought them not to cash, but to send to family and friends. i bet no one ever thought of buying keepsake tix before.

oh wow, this is amazing.
For the people who are closest to Zenyatta, however, it is her kindness and quirks, her charisma and contradictions that make them swear that she is heaven sent. She may be an imposing mare — taller and broader than most male horses — but by nature she is as gentle as a kitten. Zenyatta allows her masseuse, Michelle Jensen, to crouch beneath her in her stall for her daily, hourlong rub. She licks the ear of her groom, Mario Espinoza, the way small children suddenly kiss their mothers. and then this: Shirreffs paused, smiled and offered a theory. “She’s so large and so strong that some people are intimidated by her,” he said. “As she got into racing and winning, we kind of lost track of her underlying kindness. Zenyatta has evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined: she’s the coolest horse in the world.” she's the coolest horse ever!
