The Move That Makes the Horse

This morning, I zipped around YouTube looking for a great video to post this morning of Zenyatta. 

I found interviews with celebrities talking about the Wonder Horse, and I found news clip after news clip. But, the one video that I couldn’t stop watching, over and over again, was this — the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic. 

It’s the classic come-from-behind, girl-beating-the-guys, under-dog story, but this one will never get old, never fall into cliche. No matter how many times I watch her almost unnoticeably, in the blink of an eye, make her move to the front of the pack, I feel my eyes fill with tears. 


Here’s to a great start to your weekend, everyone. And go get ’em, Zenyatta:
