I can't tell you how much I was concerned about the great mare running him down in the stretch.
They gave out a cd of Zenyatta's 20 or 21 race career (I can't remember right now) when we arrived that year. I still watch it every once in a while. Truly incredible. She was special.
We all felt guilty about rooting for Blame to win.

Rachel had a phenomenal 3 year-old campaign...but was a disappointment as a 4 year-old. Zenyatta, on the other hand, scared the daylights out of the best male horses in the land twice, in the BC Classic...as an AGED MARE. My money says that Rachel's accomplishments will be duplicated LONG before Zenyatta's will. Rachel was special...but Zenyatta was UNIQUE!
