Default Zenyatta Victory Dance
I was going through my photos that I took this weekend and this one caught my eye - it appears that Zenyatta is doing a Victory Dance after the Santa Margarita

I am serious, I have asked myself that question a lot. He should for that.

Good photo, thanks! I never liked the form of the Eclipse Award trophy, but look at her ...

I'm still trying to convince myself she's flesh and blood. Zenyatta looks like the stuff of dreams, doesn't she?

the pure joy in Mike Smith's eyes... to think of how many horses that Mike's ridden over the years and to find a horse that brings out that emotion in a hall of fame jockey is a testament to the true greatness of the mare.

And with Zenyatta, to see the veins in her neck, the muscle definition and just the pure size... What a freak of nature.

it really is a perfect picture...
