I am for sure looking forward to this 'update'...have had the TV set to record for a few days now...of course it'd be nice if they give the Derby a once over during the segment...but CBS doesn't carry the Derby, so why give it a plug

...

I hope they do a good job and hope they announce her back in foal (if she is)...I'm getting a little concerned that there has been no announcment yet...surely they've done an ultra sound by now.

Could it be that 60 Minutes found out about Zenyatta's performance in the handicapping contest?

They could have re-hashed 8 Belles, or Barbaro.
That would would make some here happier?

60 Minutes:

Lara Logan..........riveting account of her ordeal.

New Orleans........Mayor: Hopeful road to recovery.

Zenyatta............I would have gladly taken 20 minutes of Andy Rooney.

No disrespect to Zenyatta, her connections, or fans.

However, if they're gonna segment a 'Derby' piece......then make it relevent.

Did anyone else happen to notice that in the segment with Vic his last name was slightly mispronounced?

Just nitpicking, but 60 minutes is usually pretty good about such things.

It was largely a replay of last year's feature. Out on the West Coast we didn't get to see the " update " because CBS News cut in, so went to the 60 Minutes web site to see it the rest. Nobody really missed anything, just some video of her being in her paddock with her other Mare companions. Guess I expected something about her current daily routine, that's how the promos made it sound.
