Zenyatta News

I miss the old thread in the Forum that went on *forever* about the big filly, so I'm starting it again here.

From my stable mail:

This is to inform you that one of your horses has worked out:

Zenyatta
Date: July 9, 2009
Track: HOLLYWOOD PARK
Distance: Five Furlongs
Time: 1:03:20 Breezing
Track Condition: Fast
Surface: All Weather Track
Rank: 26/28

Did you all see the YouTube video Zenyatta's trainer posted filmed from jockey Mike Smith's perspective? Stunning.
I'll post the link if I can find it.

Addition to last post... this is the YouTube video I mentioned before, of Zenyatta working with a male horse named Green Cat. It's from jockey Mike Smith's point of view. I like the part at the beginning where he says to her "Get down for your daddy" (LOL!) and when she passes Green Cat and he calls her "Baby Girl." Fantastic to have the point of view of the rider on a champion mare.

Video Here:

Don't know how many times I've watched that video, never get tired of that rush when she accelerates. :D
