With Zenyatta’s final race scheduled for the Breeder’s Cup Classic, it is hard to find any new words to say about this amazing champion.
I’ve written several articles about Zenyatta at this point.
They mark out her many endeavors and outstanding achievements in her career.
But, the bottom line remains the same - I think she’s absolutely perfect.
Rather than write another piece about the greatness of Zenyatta, I wanted to show her in motion. The beauty of watching her move tells her story better than any words I can find.
I believe she is the best racehorse that I will witness in my lifetime.
Zenyatta has traveled beyond my wildest dreams of a racehorse. She dances. Paints for charity. Celebrates her birthday (with cake). Drinks Guinness. And, Zenyatta proved she could beat the boys in the richest race in North America in 2009 – The Breeder’s Cup Classic.
Zenyatta remains perfect with a 19-0 racing record as she heads into her last start. She has amassed thirteen Grade I victories. And, she has surpassed the 18-0 undefeated record of Eclipse, the namesake to the Horse of the Year award.
I wholeheartedly believe Zenyatta deserves the “Horse of the Year” award whether or not she wins the Breeder’s Cup Classic. And, if they invent a “Horse of a Lifetime” award, my vote goes to Zenyatta as well.
In celebration of her career as she heads into the Breeder’s Cup Classic, I am posting a video montage of Zenyatta’s previous Breeder’s Cup victories, along with footage of her dance routines and photos. Click here to view the Zenyatta tribute for the Breeder’s Cup.
I hope you enjoy the Zenyatta show.
I believe it is the greatest show on earth.
Thank you for the show, Zenyatta.
Great article and loved the video….it could go on and on and I would still be watching and enjoying every second. She IS an amazing gift to all of us an I love the fact that she is proud of herself enough to show it off. Come race day ill watch her run with the rest of the world against the best and remember it as a gift that was given as a reminder that win or lose she is unforgettable.
Thanks for the nice comment, Melinda! I’m so excited for the Breeder’s Cup… Big Z is such a big presence.

I agree 110% that Zenyatta should be crowned Horse of the Year regardless if she wins the BC Classic or not!
Horse of a Lifetime? You betcha!!!
Thanks for the comment, Judy. She is so amazing!
Absolutely beautiful & stunning video tribute (love the way Cold Play’s music works with the subject, Zenyatta, & sets up an unforgettable emotional connection with her)!
Thank you for the nice comment, M-D. I’m looking forward to the Classic. Go Zenyatta!
Nice job Jennifer! It always gives me chills when I watch her races, no matter how many times I watch last year’s Classic especially, I gets chills up and down my spine.
Thanks, Brian. I love watching Big Z in the Classic. (I could make 1,000 videos of it. It never gets tiring!)
