That last win still brings tears to my eyes.. She was the best I've ever seen! And I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa.
very touching winning!!
This mare has yet to run "full out" .... her ears are always pricked and she is just loping along, right into the winner's circle. I cry every time I watch her run. I am so grateful to have been alive when this mare was running. How special she is and how glad her owners brought her back again this year. She loves racing and we all love to watch her. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
That BC Classic performance was just amazing. It’s all well and good being last and coming around the whole field in mares races, but to take on the best Colts in the world and come from last to first off the bend shows what an amazing burst of speed she had. Honestly don’t think I’ve seen many horses with that burst of speed at the end of a 10 furlong race. She made world class horses look average the way she won that race
I love the comment on Zenyatta's 2nd race in this clip. Her allowance win at Hollywood Park when David Flores was still riding her. The announcer say's "Zenyatta is making a mockery of this field." David Flores looked like he could've been sitting back in the saddle giving himself a manicure, and Zenyatta would've went right on by herself. LOL.
In my over 40 years as a racing fan, I've never seen a horse with a turn of foot as explosive as Zenyatta's - neither male nor female. Simply the most spectacular runner I have ever seen. Even on her bad days, she overcomes adversity to be first at the finish line. Mike Smith said it best, she's not just "Horse of the Year," but "Horse of the Decade."
Never seen Frankel then ?
What an exceptionally well educated TB. Not many can use their backs the way she does. The faux Spanish Walk in the mounting yard is the perfect warm-up exercise.
Credit must go to whoever started her under saddle & the exercise rider, who knows "balance is key" to a large horse.
In every race Zenyatta travels on her near lead all the way, until the final turn. Then she rounds the bend, straightens, changes of lead; Fresh muscles & from there the race is over.
CONGRATULATIONS TO HER TEAM.
A best horse ever !!! I am very happy to witness the horse of the lifetime.
Look at those ears.... you can tell her speed is just effortless and she loved it.
Zenyatta is sooo tall and has 'legs for days!' She makes it look so effortless. Awesome filly!!
"Here is a future superstar." I bet when he said that he had no idea exactly how right he would end up being =D
17 for 17!!! She's incredible! The greatest mare of all time! She definitely proved it in the Vanity today.
She is just awesome. I love this girl.....I can't believe that she will not race again. She brings such strength and ability to each of her races. I will miss her and her "dancing feet". Instead of the breeding shed, she should be on "Dancing with the Stars" , LOL.
Amazing! She is one of my favorite race horses.
“How do you describe perfection? Why try! Let’s just watch her run!!”
Zenyatta is one of the greatest of all time. What a HORSE!
Zenyatta ran with a DIABOLICAL sense of timing. Love this gal. She'd careen down the backstretch, firing when she pleased, as she pleased. She and Mike Smith were a pairing for the ages.
this horse is amazing!
What a thrill to see them all the stretch runs and watch her win every time. She is as special as can be! Thanks for posting.
Zenyatta is Secretariat but mare style!
Agree shes the female version. 👏👏👏👏👏👏💚💚💚
Thank you so much!!! I love her!! Today's victory 17 was INCREDIBLE!!!
I Luv this horse called Zenyatta! I still get that same chill everytime I watch the Classic. She is a Gift From God! Thank You.
Thanks so much for posting! It's great to have all these races in one vid! She's simply amazing - I can't even count the number of times I've watched her Classic win. She just blows me away.
The most exciting horse to ever race! Loved watching her.
Now that's what I call play of the game
Faconator LMAO
The outside lane queen! Freaking amazing. Beautiful
Zenyatta needed to see the horses in front of her. That is why she always came wide.
racing room)
she is amazing and has heart. i don't think you've even seen her go all out yet. she just does what she has to do to win.
Wow, this is vid is great. The best Zen video around. Great quality, too. Goes to favorites.
P.S. Wont even bother to start commenting about her, Rachel and other horses. Its all over! Great video. Great horse. Should be neither over nor underrated.
Go Zenyatta!
We love you!
ruffianruiz, I think you're opinion is pretty spot on. I'm old enough that I got to see the great Ruffian race as well. She truly was remarkable. She was a front runner that set blistering fraction's. But like you said, Zenyatta just has the desire to run down and go by whatever horse lay in her path. She uses her size and stride length to her maximum potential. She's just one of those rare thoroughbred's that refuses to lose.
if you watch each race, every horse that came 2nd to zenyatta ran one hell of a race
She's a super freak! Thank you for this video, I never get tired of watching her.
Most of the truly great thoroughbred's that history acknowledges were either blazing front runners or very effective stalkers that just exploded from 4 or 5 length's off the pace to go on and win. It's almost unheard of for a horse that's such a deep closer to be explosive enough to consistently run down and blow on by field's the way that Zenyatta has her whole career. I've just never seen a horse that when her jockey ask her to go just eat's up so much ground in such a short time as her.
Congrats on your 15th you amazing rocket horse!
HOLY CROW THIS HORSE IS AMAZING!
wow, the classic-14th race-still gives me the tingles!
Very nice montage, thank you. Zenyatta is horse of the year.
Props to TVG for putting together an excellent montage of all 14 of her lifetime wins. A fitting tribute to such a wonderful champion who, IMO, will be sorely missed on the race track.
That career was a wild ride! Loved every minute. Another 15 or 20 yards she wins going away!!! She 2as awesome!!
I could watch that classic win over and over! Such an amazing horse!
She wobbles she bobbles n still she wins...beautiful race mare
Great video. Every race is almost exactly the same. From last to first in the blink of an eye. I've never seen a thoroughbred cover so much ground in such short of time. She's great!!!
Just imagine if she had taken the short way around. Simply the best.
Simply the Best. Better than all the Rest!
*Pass into the Iris*
pass into the ass
I’m not the only one that thought this was an overwatch video XD
RA is a great horse but if you look at this WOW! Zenyatta is the QUEEN! Alot of people say she's just a poly horse but just look at her one race on dirt. That was awesome.
Those immortal words
"Here comes Zenyatta"
Nothing more need be said.
Questa cavalla ha una forza incredibile, lo sprint finale denota le doti fisiche straordinare che madre natura le ha dato , ha una struttura forte e andatura decisa ottimo slancio, cuore e polmoni eccellenti, bravissimo il driver che ha capito il momento giusto per avanzare
One and Only Zenyatta; for ever i think in all probabilities.
Just look at how she dwarfs the other horses. Especially in her Maiden. She's a once-in-a-generation monster. She's definitely a top 20, if not top 10, all time.
She is AMAZING! Makes it look so easy!
I love this mare. She always gives me a thrill (and a heart attack!) when I see her race. I can't wait til the Breeder's Cup. I think the real question is if Zenyatta can defeat Blame.
She loves to run and it shows 😊
Who is better? Who cares? We are blessed with 2 of the best race horses of all time! I am just happy to see these 2 amazing athletes racing at the same time, we all win!
Zenyatta was the little version of secretariat imo. Both came from behind, both dominated their rivals. The greatest male race horse in history and possibly one of the greatest mares of our history
Leaving a mark while living is the greatest wealth in the world.
It's already been announced and been new's on every horse racing web-site that Zenyatta is definitely going to race in 2010. Shireffs said her first start will likely be the San Margeritta Handicap at Santa Anita on March 13th as a tuneup. Then, most likely the Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn on April 1st. Other possible's are the Human Distaff at Churchill Downs. They said their long term goal is to run her again in the 2010 B.C. Classic at Churchill Downs.
To the day I die I will never love a horse as much as her, she will give us two beautiful foals, Queen Z's Legacy, and Queen Z's Perfection. I simply adore her and her owners, Michele.
LMAO!! I love win #3.
Those poor horses were working their asses off trying to get ahead of one another and then Zenyatta strides out of NOWHERE and makes it look like a piece of cake!!!
wow, he takes her on the outside and she out performs them all!!!!! I LOVE THIS HORSE AND RIDER COMBO BRILLIANT!
Winx and zenyatta ..what a race that would be
As much as I love and respect Zenyatta, and as often as I rewatch all of her races except the last one, there's still nothing to beat Personal Ensign's BC win.
ZENYATTA es única.
¡Vayan agrandando el video con sus victorias!.
Suerte para mañana.La épica y la leyenda se llaman ZENYATTA.
sweet video... my fav races 1first race, 3 encino II not even picture when they turn for home lol, clement hirsh8, vanity11, clement hirsh 12 won so much money that day,and of course my bday the breeders cup win was ridiculous from outta nowhere...Zenyatta 17/17 one of best horse all time in my opinion that vanity handicap last week too was all afterburners i love they way z just chills and kicks it full on stretch and blows past all
just awesome - good to watch when you need a smile
- job well done by these owners letting her grow up first
@gjnice21 good call. its amazing at the distances she closes...makes the field look like pylons.
Gran video.
What a G1 distaff race that would be. Ruffian and Lady's Secret setting the pace, Rachel Alexandra stalking a close third and Zarkava and Zenyatta waiting to pounce on them in the stretch.
I love watching this video. Just her natural ability and that huge closing stride that she has is really something to watch. I don't know if Zenyatta could have beaten all the great's that are talked about, but I certainly think she could have held her own with them. Her closing kick, and most of all, her sheer desire to win would have made sure of that. JMO.
Good Luck Zenyatta, USA
It's 2023 and I'm still here watching the Queen strut her stuff I loved that horse she's the best ever might be the GOAT
Very very good zenyatta
Just AMAZING!!!
I just saw Zenyatta's Del Mar Race 9 victory on Television Games Network (I'm hooked on that network even though I don't gamble). She has definitely become one of the best horses I've ever seen.
Great horse!
Zenyatta was incredible! :D she deserves Horse Of The Year more than anyone :)
@CPProductions13, Best female thoroughbred ever, that's for sure. But being old enough to have seen Secretariat win the Triple Crown in 1973, I still rate him as the greatest I ever saw, and I'm a HUGE Zenyatta fan!!! Secretariat ran 12 furlongs in the 73' Belmont Stakes in 2:24 flat. And won by 31 lengths. This horse was a machine. When a track or world record is broken, it's usually by 1/5, maybe 2/5 of a second. Secretariat took 2-2/5 seconds off of the record that day, which still stands.
This information comes off of the Horseracingnation web-site. Both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta just turned in 6 furlong breezes. Rachel Alexandra breezed 6 furlongs over a fast main track at Louisiana Downs in 1:14.00 flat. Zenyatta breezed 6 furlongs over the Hollywood Park main track in 1:13.20. For future Apple Blossom Invitational handicappers, make of those times what you will.
I looked her up, looks awesome! Hope she will race in the AB! Would be exciting btw her and Zen.
Un regalo de Dios Zenyatta y Mike Smith,que belleza estas carreras de esta gran campeona.
another beautiful perfect horse
Haha, you're awesome! And clearly a respectful person with common sense. I think one thing some fans don't understand is that when they attack others who disagree, they are actually creating a negative association with their horse. These animals are so gorgeous, talented, rare and deserving of praise, and it's just so unfortunate that the negativity/stupidity gets in the way of the appreciation and enjoyment of them. Thanks again for defending a Rachel fan...you're alright in my book ;-)
been posting on Zenyatta all 19 wins video....some people just dont get it.
Zenyatta was the greatest female ever period and yes that includes Ruffian.
Carl P totally agree
yup so many people are SO Clueless
Zenyatta was not even the best filly of her generation let alone of all time. You're right.... some people really are clueless
@@bgardiner3354 that's funny...who was?
Running Down a Dream I’m glad you asked, because the selection is vast. There are some who make a case for Rachel Alexandra being a better filly, given her dominance over the boys. Zenyatta ran only against other fillies for 18 of her 20 starts.... but I’m willing to accept that she probably was better. The problem though comes when you consider this big place that’s not in America called THE REST OF THE WORLD. If you include in her generation horses born 3-4 years either side of her there is a great selection of outstanding distaffers. Sunline for example won a host of open WFA and handicaps including a win over Hong Kong champion Fairy King Prawn in a Dubai Duty Free. FKP would have lapped Blame. Zarkarva won 8 races unbeaten in France at 3, culminating in an Arc, which is much more difficult race to win than a BCC. Makybe Diva won 3 Melbourne Cups, the third carrying more weight than any filly in history. All 3 of these received the same Timeform ratings (129) as Zenyatta, which I think is ridiculous. But again, I’m willing to accept it. There are quite a few others I think also worth a mention but these are just some obvious examples. But then there was Black Caviar... and I’m afraid here Zenyatta’s record gets absolutely blown out of the water by a 3 times world champion. They aren’t even comparable. BC’s Timeform rating was 137... So, if one was to say that Zenyatta was the best filly on dirt ever I could probably concede. Without those qualifiers though it’s nonsense.
Look at how correct Vic was on Zenyatta's second race saying, "Here's a future superstar!"
I just really think that Zenyatta has been done a great injustice during her racing career. This is a race-mare that's now 15 for 15 lifetime, a two time Breeders Cup champion in both Classic Divisions, the only female thoroughbred to ever win the Breeders Cup Classic since the inception of the race in 1984, and yet her amazing ability has never been awarded HOY. Ironically, both times, she's lost to a Jess Jackson owned horse. I live on the East Coast, and I know there's an East Coast bias.
16-0 now. Awesome, amazing girl. i love her.
Because of her running style, Zenyatta is never going to be a horse that win's by 10 or 15 lengths in eye catching style like Rachel Alexandra has. But her record and her rating speaks for itself. As Albert Einstein used to say "Mathematics don't lie son, mathematics don't lie.
the best horse to the history
You know guys...I have loved every second of Zenyatta on and off the track..it has been a dream come true, but I have to honestly say that if she comes back and gets hurt or in the worst nightmare has to be put down..it would be the end of horse racing for me. I was devastated when Barbaro got hurt and the only reason I survived that was because Zenyatta came along.
Zenyatta is the best horse to come along in a long time. Regardless of how the vote goes we know she is the true horse of the year. You can't be the best unless you go against the best in the classic. Zenyatta did all that was ever asked of her. The handlers of Rachel could have run her in the classic, they didn't because they doubted that she could win. I agree with their decision. Zenyatta was too strong for anyone to beat her.
Zenyatta has a HUGE personality and Ego if that makes any sense and she seems to get really pissed if other horses try to beat her. lol
What a horse.
Zenyattas Next race is August 7th, 2010 at Del Mar.
What a beauty!
When you're now 16 for 16 lifetime, and now mentioned in the same conversation with the immortal Citation, and the legendary Cigar, you know that you have truly become one of racing's all-time greats. Except that Zenyatta stands alone of the three as still being undefeated. God blessed this mare with so much size, and physical strength that it really has made her unbeatable. No other filly or mare will ever do it, Rachel included. And I'm not sure there's a colt out there that can either. TJMO.
I love u and still watch u😍😍
عبدالباري محمد XX us W I
Zenyatta, such a horse!
Amazing horse ever
Zen reminds me of a filly version of the mighty Forego. Seemingly beat but a thunderous stretch drive to get up in time. There may always be comparisons to RA and who was better but I just appreciate the beauty of excellence both those great fillies exhibited.
I wish so much she could race in the derby today
Sheeees BACK - Big to run in 2010, Look out Citation/Cigar.
@kadir1982, me too. I live about 90 minutes from Churchill Downs, and plan on being at Churchill Downs for the Breeders Cup this year. I can't wait, because it will likely be Zenyatta's final race, Goldikova's final race, and they'll be talent a-plenty on display in Louisville that weekend.
