Who needs a program/form when you have a sign or cut out of a horse's head? New fans of the sport I guess?

Is that the idiot from Del Mar (Coach's avatar) in the middle?

Zenyatta has done so much for racing huh? How is the attendance and handle doing in California? Which just happens to be one of her own home tracks? Are they camping out for the first race on Wednesday yet?

More annoying, Zenyatta fans or Patriots fans? It seems pretty close.

How could you really tell? It seems like all the Pats fans are. M.I.A.

There is no way in heck that the new fans that appeared because of Zenyatta will stick around in numbers great enough to positively impact the game. Did we gain a few new fans that will become regulars, most likely.

I think Zenyatta came along at the perfect time. This country needed a pick me up of sorts in the form of a positive story and someone or something to root for. I believe that's a part of why Zenyatta gained so much positive attention.

After all, we can't blame Zenyatta for voting for the wrong candidate, she clearly had nothing to do with the state of our economy, she already gets superior health care, and I don't think she has had any negative impact on the unemployment rate.

I'm looking foward to seeing her babies. Rachel's babies too. Oh $hit I just thought of something. What if their babies meet up in a race? AHHH!!! The saga will continue on.

When TVG shows the feed of Cali tracks you see owners and trainers
in attendance. The feed from Aqueduct only shows yellow snow.

When equibase reports the handle at Cal tracks you see red blood, The feed from NY might have yellow snow but Cal is green with handle envy

Would you care to elaborate on the differences between California and New York in January?

The new fans from Zenyatta didn't even bet at the Breeders Cup based on the statistics.
