- Thanks for a heartwarming story of accomplishment in a really tough business. The jockey cam was awesome as was the profile of the trainer and your staff member in the Internet extra features. Thanks for a bit of pleasant distraction in the midst of all the world problems.

- I think it is really tacky that Zenyatta was called the "best female athlete of our time." That should be a title reserved for a human. Shame on you for comparing female atheletes to a horse.

- Wait a minute, did you just introduce a horse as the "most popular female athlete of our time"? I won't argue with her standing amongst female racehorses, but to suggest that the most notable female athlete is a horse is pretty insulting to many of the accomplished female athletes of our time. I hope this was just a mis-statement!

- Looking forward to this update. Don't know how many Facebook fans she had in October, probably around 55,000, but Zenyatta now has almost 80,000 FB fans. This really is incredible for a retired female racehorse that her fan base is increasing. Usually, broodmares wind up in relative obscurity having babies and nearly forgotten. This is one mare that does not appear to be going "quietly into the good night"!!
