60 Minutes Overtime

I thought it was a rather superficial look at Zenyatta. Everyone they interviewed tried to articulate how amazing Zenyatta is in person but it came across as goofy. You have to experience her in person, she has a presence that can not truly be described. From my experience I have found her to be curious, intelligent, completely aware of her surroundings and amazingly gentle for such a large animal.

Comparing her to Secretariat is not fair, saying she is the greatest thoroughbred of all time is not fair, but saying she is one of the best mares to race and entertain racing fans in recent memory is reasonable in my opinion.

I do think Mike Smith was right about one thing - I think she does have at least one more gear that we haven't seen yet. I think she does enough to win and will do just enough to win on Saturday.
