Cigar won by 2 votes I read.

Zenyatta wins the whole thing in hand. I would like to know the % of voters of male vs female, because from what I have seen it is like 75%/25% in the females favor.

Rachel could pull it off. The announcement of her foal's name has to be worth a few votes.

I will post this in her seed, it is by far my favorite horse racing video, I'm going to watch it again now for the probalby 12th time and it will no doubt give me goosebumps again.

I hope it comes down to Zenyatta VS Man O' War so I can vote for Zenyatta.

i don't know that she'll get much of a boost because of 'jess's dream'. seems anti-climactic to me.

They had so many people suggest the name that they picked it out of a bowl. I figured they'd want something a little more unique.

yeah, probably not a great name for a young male, albeit a horse.

Jess's Dream sounds like a filly. A little girl named Jessica had a foal named after her.

I wonder if, when they sell Rachel's full sister Samantha Nicole, whether the new owner will change the name. Sorry, but it doesn't trip off the tongue as much. I'm sure it was named after a kid, but I wouldn't keep it. It's not bad luck to do that, is it? Like renaming a boat?
