The Breeders Cup is already underway, and IMO its by far the best weekend the sport can offer even if the Derby and those races are more important.

On Saturday however, we ALL get a chance to watch history made when Zenyatta goes for her 20th win in a row against no losses. Done before? Yep...by a lady against the boys? No way.

Get excited...cheer for her, cheer against her, but I implore everyone to watch the Breeders Cup classic to see if she can do it again....afterall she won this thng last year against the best in the world. Should she repaet, she will be one of the best of all time....if she isnt already.

I watched it and it was awesome. I honestly almost stopped watching when they came out of the gates and she was far, far behind. Thrilling finish, and I was really hoping that she would catch him down the stretch!

Yeah it was a tremendous race. What an athlete that horse is, truly. Two more strides and its hers, but as it is she ran a beauty considering she had never races in Louisville before and it was only her 3rd start on dirt.

Anyhow she will go down as the best mare in history, and off to the stud farm she goes to live a life of luxury and start a bloodline that will fetch hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 15 years or so.
