Zenyatta (Thoroughbred Racehorse) | Kentucky Life | KET

[@thevmanvj]

A big girl....bigger than most males...standing 17.2 hands...and as gentle as a lamb...she loves people, especially children. Ann Moss simply said....” she is gentle because she chooses to be.” She truly is… “The People’s Horse”. We love you, “Z”!

[@Sagitariusmaria]

I wish I was there just to see her. I am a big fan. Brought so much joy to many people just watching her on the race tracks. An amazing beauty .

[@silvercharm]

I just watched this for the first time ever, and am in tears. Thanks.

[@CastleMc]

Zenyatta is simply one of a kind.

[@bendownswing3774]

What a horse

[@janetgallo5720]

She is one of the best race horses ever

[@evaccc]

What a super horse! After all of the times passed by, she still makes me cry while watching this video . I hope one day I can get to see her in person! Be safe! Be happy! and Good Health!

[@Sagitariusmaria]

What a great horse! She is really good around people. She knows what is going on... amazingly

[@nannie2846]

Zenyatta, the dancing queen. Loved her dances!

[@terriholliday8038]

As a struggling New Californian, looking to adopt an OTTTB,... I kept seeing the name Zenyatta, a horse I never heard of coming from Florida. Wow ! When I started investigating I could not believe such a big horse and so fast ! And her style of racing , so phenomenal. It became a daily after work mantra to watch Zenyatta., and get happy! Her story gave me hope and changed my life, my outlook. And would you believe , the grace of god was on me ... because while I was shopping for my own horse, this unbelievably beautiful and smart gelding, really jumped out and moved out at me. The first thing I thought was he must be related to Zenyatta! And he is! Son of Street Boss...loves to jump, super smart and big personality. He is a gift. And kind. Wow. Dreams do come true. His name is “Street Dance.”

[@lespangen]

An amazing talent: and loved by the public vox populi winner and she seems to love the public: her offspring to date have not been successful on the track

[@lespangen]

Glad he’s doing so well for you

[@lespangen]

😬👍

[@lespangen]

So happy for you and bless you for choosing an OTTB: two of Zenyatta’s foals failed as race horses but were adopted and have started eventing/reportedly are good jumpers so wishing you success and happiness with your boy

[@kayeroskaft9619]

What a delight Zenyatta is-even from a distance.

[@jackgt1991]

My favs that i have seen in person- Seattle Slew, Cigar, Zenyatta, and Flight Line. She is such a beautiful horse and an absolute monster.

[@heatherdobson7151]

[@sherylejeffers9491]

You are on my bucket list Zenyatta....I have to see you some day....You truly are the Best..!!

[@ReiLakewater]

What amazed me about Zenyatta from the begining was her personality. She was the horse that got me into racing. At first I really liked show jumping.

[@nancyfabiani6757]

She is BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT . ROCK ON BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pocahon8460]

How do you describe Perfection? Why try? Let's just watch her run! Zenyatta!!!!! Please keep these coming if ever we need a Zenyatta figure it's now

[@adrianashilling2573]

What a powerful looking mare!

[@brittanyritenour4695]

She was and still is a special horse! not only because she was an undeafed winner, but she also has such personality, she doesnt even mind the crowd at all, shes seems to be very people friendly. Not just that, but when she was one the track shes shined, it was like her spirit within, full of life and hope. Looks as if shes loved her job.

[@arleneirvine1526]

i really liked horse racing, but always was so afraid they would get hurt, zenyatta was my star!!

[@sheilamacpherson4948]

I fell in love with her before I knew anyone else loved her. I've just been watching horses again here in 2020. I thought I was the only one who thought she was awesome until I had been watching racing on you tube for a week. And I swear I was wondering what was going on with me. Knowing she does this to other people made me feel a little less crazy. Wish I had a chance to see her in person.

[@lovemusic794]

She is absolutely amazing!

[@dianawells3966]

A unique and beautiful soul. A "kind eye" and a gracious, intelligent being. God must be proud!

[@angiet3535]

She is sooooooo MAGNIFICENT!!!

[@leanneadams2549]

I love how horses understand children !! They suddenly become more gentle!!!! So surely she’s a good mom also ! And yes, I’m a Huge Zenyatta fan !!!

[@angelarankin9842]

Zenyatta made a big impact in Hot Springs at Oaklawn and at the airport. It was awesome.

[@alm2122]

Awesome, awesome horse. Queen Z is one of the greatest!

[@terryrussel523]

Secretariat was also known for that kind of behavior in front of people and especially loved to pose for those with cameras.

[@lekkki1]

I have heard that. Despite the amazing prowess of both Zenny and Secretariat, they both have the kindest eyes, and extreme patience, gentleness with humans. The way her owners campaigned Zenyatta, and the incredible care they took with her is exemplary.

[@tajdin4005]

[@IStillSay]

I met her at Hollywood Park!

[@marrissakackleykackley5230]

zenyatta and Secretariat

[@OfficialMuffiin]

@Vickie Hadd no they wouldn't, good horses dont always make great foals. None of Zenyattas or Secretariats foals did that well on the racetrack.

[@sjslib]

rubles Zenyatta is a descendant of Secretariat

[@christhompson9486]

She is related to Secretariat thru his mother. Her sire was Princequillo. No wonder she had the speed and endurance. Secretariat had those same qualities. I read that Princequillo passes that quality thru his fillies.

[@angiet3535]

@@christhompson9486 I THOUGHT SO!!!! They had to be related!!!!🤣🤣🤣💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

[@kukana228]

Love, love, love this beautiful lady.

[@lovetheponies]

The person who gave this video a thumbs down is jealous! I bet I even know who it is. Obviously, this woman hasn't grown up! Note: I doubt Zenyatta or Team Zenyatta care what this unhappy person thinks! All the loving fans make up or it :-)

My fav horse1 iNCLUDEING THE GREATS.I think Zenyatta is just the best horse ever!

[@jlove8445]

Will forever be a legendary horse. She looks like she could squash a Stallion like an Ant

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

You couldnt have had a better trainer for Zenyatta than John Shirreffs. Hes great at what he does, but cares about his horses as if they are family. I think this story is that much more sweet because of him, as opposed to Zenyatta possibly being trained by other great trainers with HUNDREDS of horses in their barns. John has a small number of horses he trains and cares for. I like that Zenyatta was one of them.

[@vincentdouglas5054]

zenyatta had wonderful owners and a wonderful trainer and jockey on her team. they may not be perfect but they were perfect for her!

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

@@vincentdouglas5054 Owners were great too. Excellent point.

[@jjtsmom]

I. Love. Zenyatta.

[@JesusLives8718]

Sounds like she had a lot of the same personality and rapport with the public that Secretariat did. She is certainly a beautiful animal. The horse is the most magnificent animal created by God.

[@marlenechandler1879]

Love this.

[@Aimee0206]

Zenyatta is the best racehorse EVER

[@peterb9137]

Yep!

[@jasoncorona963]

By far, best filly ever and absolutely phenomenal. But could not ever beat the likes of Man O War or Secretariat. But there is no shame in that she was simply majestic.

[@jamesonsix19]

+Jason Corona No one could say that for sure, not saying she could or couldn't but Zenyatta is a very rare horse personality wise. Most horses when urged run as fast as they can, Zenyatta was different she ran just fast enough to win. Also, I do know most horse racing experts attribute "stride length" as one of if not the most important attribute when describing and recognizing the fastest ever and the greatest, and Zenyatta's stride length was over a foot longer than Secretariats (and that's been measured by the most advanced and accurate technology that existed in 2010). So running just fast enough to stay ahead of any horse that challenges you is something that takes an outstandingly fast horse to be able to just put enough into staying just ahead of their opponent, because if you misjudge your opponents speed and your own you might not have enough speed to recover. She literally had enough speed to overcome anything thrown at her. It's hard to explain easily but basically it takes a fast horse to beat their opponent by large margins but it takes a super horse to be able to repeatedly win but put just enough effort to stay just ahead with the confidence that no matter what the other horse throws at it, it's got them handled. Just think about it in drag racing terms if you have 2 fast cars going to race at a rolling start even if you have a faster car if the other car takes off just a little earlier the ground is hard to make up and it takes a car so much faster to overcome that. The amazing thing about Z is I'm pretty sure we saw her run full speed one time in her 20 race career and that was her last race when no one thought she could recover from such a horrible start and horrible luck and yet made a run down the stretch that had even the biggest "Zenyatta Hater's" with their jaw dropped in shock.

[@teej783]

You cannot use logic and reason with some people. Their opinions are like their religion. Horses don't understand track records. They race the horses that start with them. Man O' War had a 28 foot stride but he was shorter than Zenyatta. It would be nice to see the foals that could come from that combination. Secretariat was very similar to Man O' War. Both had the same nickname of "Big Red" in different eras.

[@meteoritessound1673]

YES SHE WOULD! SHES A F**KING MARE, MAN O WAR WAS JUST A WEAKER SEX

[@lespangen]

She’s doing great at Lane’s End would be wonderful for her fans and the retired OTTBs at Old Friends if when her breeding career is over the Mosses let her retire to Old Friends 😬❤️❤️

[@ryant.hughes6823]

[@grantcook7249]

Secretariat was Secretariat even though I did see him run what a my lifetime I think Zenyatta was the best horse I've seen run but my favorite horse is citation

[@brucejohnson1572]

Did Zenyatta intentionally hold back or was it the jockey's choice?

queen Z

[@bobdonna6042]

So you retire them to what.. horses need us and they need us especially horses like Zenyatta to ride them even in retirement.. they are bright... look at how they race and we take that away from them and put them to pasture.. throw them away. Ride them teach them other things... not competitive but why they can be so clam in a crowd before a race do you get how amazing that is. Then you think you are helping them by leaving them to pasture, Shame on you.... they are here for us and these amaxzing horses work and they need new work... just ride them...play race.. teach them new things ... they desever more than to be put out to pasture. From Donna owned my first horse at 12 and know them well... Donna

[@juliehertz8768]

She might be beautiful and talented,BUT SHE'S NO SECRETARIAT.

[@heathertakacs4405]

Silly comment

[@christhompson9486]

She stands on her own. She doesn't need comparison.

[@pocahon8460]

Well,its not about comparison it's about UNIQUENESS and her INSPIRATION and mystique look of eagles indeed! Some people can't see the forest for the trees

[@kayeroskaft9619]

They are both special. Appreciating both of them without comparing them is so easy.

[@angiet3535]

TRUE. Secretariat is the Greatest Of All Time. This girl is quite magnificent too.

[@boogiestreet594]

People really really struggle to understand just how unintelligent horses are. a 15 year old horse, doesn't have the intelligence of a 6 month old kitten by they think 8 times. So a 6 month old kitten is smarter than THE most intelligent horse. Just because they're so beautiful, why do we have to add things to them we know aren't true? They're one of the if not THE ost unintelligent animals humans have regular contact with

[@OfficialMuffiin]

I agree, I've been around horses my whole life, and I dont consider them as smart lol. Not braindead, but just not as sentient as say a dog or a cat.

[@jennyandersson6238]

Anthony Quigley Not true, horses are smart in their own ways.

[@lespangen]

Would love it if the Mosses sent Z to old Friends where her admirers could see her and help support the other retirees 😬😅❤️❤️🥲😅😅😮😊🥹

That would be amazing! I was just there and will go back again especially if the queen retired there. We met Michael he is WONDERFUL ❤❤
