I'm a horse girl, okay. Always have been, always will be. Ponies really weren't just a fucking phase, if you know what I mean.
I've never worked with racehorses, but I admire them. Some people think it's cruel to race them...I have to disagree, because these horses just love to run.
What I can tell you firsthand is that some horses just have a lot of heart. I should know...the horse I've owned for the past 12 years has the biggest one I've ever seen (obviously I'm biased!) And Zenyatta...well, this crazy girl...while she might seem a bit cocky, all strutting her stuff and showing off...it's not just in her legs.
Wanna see the real deal? A view from above:
Now, for those of you faithful readers, you have probably read a previous post of mine from awhile back, which explained my obsession with the show Jockeys. Also in this post, I had made the decision to do a little bit of gambling. Click here if you wanna catch up.
Well, I first saw Zenyatta on Jockeys, and let me tell ya...can't miss out on this dark horse. I don't see how she COULDN'T have a following. So, when it came to the Breeder's Cup, and I heard she was running with the big boys in the Classic...I knew I had to bet on her. And it definitely went in my favor. I was $200 richer (that's AFTER the price of the bet).
In the end, the money wasn't the important thing though...all the heart that horse has...brought tears to my eyes. So lucky to have seen her make history.
Song of the day: "Heads Will Roll" Yeah Yeah Yeahs (cause it's kick ass, just like Zenyatta)
