Her coat is thicker now, fuzzy with the changing seasons and with winter coming on. Days shorten and temperatures dip at night across the bluegrass. The foal inside her rounding belly grows.

Twelve short months ago, Zenyatta went charging down a sandy strip at Churchill Downs in the race of her life, an unprecedented bid to repeat her historic score in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Her incredible run from far behind the field on that cold November evening was not quick enough to catch a gusty colt named Blame -- but their performances resulted in Eclipse Awards, with Blame earning Champion Older Horse and Zenyatta taking home honors as Champion Older Female and the 2010 Horse of the Year.

Great article. Thanks for posting it.


It seems like way longer than just last year that I was anxiously waiting to see her race.

So, she has about 130 more days before the baby is born? I'm excited for that. :ThmbUp:
