Great post! Nothing that caused Zenyatta to be so far back was done by the jockey, the trainers, etc....Zenyatta did it. She was caught off guard. At the end of the day, she is a horse, it is a horse race. She fought the best she could, and put up a valiant effort. Confused that she wasn't in the winner's circle? I can honestly say I doubt it. She's a horse...why would she care? -- Jackie & Jonathan Nguyen Marcato German Shepherds <http://www.sparkly-lion.net/marcatogsd> S Konzert vom Drachenberg, RN, CD, CGC "Strauss" Devine's Gunpowder N Lead "Mirada" ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
