Horse Racing - a new record
Zenyatta is now 18 for 18. Won at Del Mar today. Unbelievable.

Re: Horse Racing - a new record
I was there. Zenyatta is a once in a lifetime horse. I have never seen so many people (including myself) wait in the paddock area almost 3 races before the 9th race, just to get a close up glimpse of her. Here's a pic from where I was standing:
Here's a youtube of the race:

She never wins by alot but always wins...Great stretch run. Never really went to the whip either.

Re: Horse Racing - a new record
Here are some of the shots I took when she won #17 to break the record at Hollywood Park on 6/13/2010. It was awesome, I was the only one taking photos in at the final turn. The first photo is when Mike Smith directed Zenyatta to the outside, then it was afterburner time.

Re: Horse Racing - a new record
If you go to the race, I wonder if you could ask someone at the stable if they could get you Zenyatta's game-used socks for $100 after the race. I'm sure they get thrown out. Photo-match them while you're there, and have a terrific game-used collectible.

Re: Horse Racing - a new record
Actually, I think those "socks" are tape wrapped around both back legs and three blue stripes painted on the tape. So it might be kinda tough to photomatch.
BTW, $100 may not cut it for the "socks" either because a halter from Zenyatta last year went up for auction and brought in over $6000.
