I can barely watch these races of Zenyatta (e.g. including Breeders' Cup Classic) because I get sooo excited to see a horse so capable of such dramatic late acceleration under almost any circumstances. And this race today had to qualify as just as much a nail-biter as the Classic.

I was encouraged listening to Jerry Moss afterwards saying they were certainly pointing towards Oaklawn's Apple Blossom April 9. That's very encouraging, that Z will finally break out of the synthetic track limitation moniker which has been hung around her neck. I suspect she is a horse for any course.

We can only hope Rachel Alexandra came out of her race today healthy, and that the owners don't shirk what the racing public and the casual public at large want to see. Our sport needs such a rivalry, but also such a capable champion as Zenyatta. 2010 could be a good year for horse racing.
