Who wants to watch a race where one part...Hey PTP,<br /><br />Who wants to watch a race where one particular horse goes gate to wire constantly? Yawn. I want to see a horse that can overcome obstacles during a race and win; such as traffic, less than stellar surface conditions, crappy posts, poor starting gate breaks, etc. I'm not sure if a horse having speed is as important as if a horse has "heart". <br /><br />I too watched every one of Zenyatta's races and seeing her maneuver her way through the field, and then breaking into a fourth gear down the stretch, (when most of her competition was losing "puff"), was a complete adrenalin rush for me.<br /><br />She captured a nation not only because of her ability to gain a colossal amount of ground on the track, but her post parade "dancing" made her appear to have human-like qualities; Like she was there to entertain us; Showing us that the communication barrier between humans and horses is minimal, and when all is said and done, it is up to us if we choose to listen.<br /><br />ClaudetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
