I hope he hires Serling and Freddy Mo as body guards.

“I couldn’t believe how good she was off the plane,” Shirreffs said. “She was great with the people. They were reaching out. I heard one of them say, ‘Oooh, I touched Zenyatta.’ They really appreciated seeing her. The plane was two hours later and they stayed around.”

Most of the immortals, the Triple Crown winners and others, never won 19 straight. Citation, Man of War, Gallant Fox, Assault and Secretariat all lost more than once.


I have no influence, no vote. But out there somewhere, someone, might wake up and get a new and needed trophy on the ballot. Zenyatta sure does deserve it.

Marty McGee = Disgrace http://www.drf.com/news/zenyatta-vs-...ote-horse-year

See where I’m going with this? I could justify voting for Blame for the many reasons being articulated by the men and women who are voting for him . . . but I just can’t. Unfortunately for him, this was the year of Zenyatta, even accounting for that excruciating defeat in one of the greatest Breeders’ Cup races ever. Hey Allie: sorry, pal, but I’m voting for Zenyatta.

His was the best rationale at all for a Zenyatta voter. I have no reason to do it, I can't really justify it, I'm not even sure I believe it but I'm voting for her because little girls waved signs and the media followed her around for a year. Ah, turf writers, they're the best.

That isn't a rationale. Talk about dealing with hostage takers.
