Everyone is talking about Zenyatta, the wonder horse of the season. She is just absolutely astounding. I have placed a couple of photo blogs here on Uncle Mo and Man O War I believe from a woman whose name is Barbara Livingston, a photographer and writer for the Daily Racing Form.
Someone wryly suggested that people write poetry about Zenyatta rather than always exclaiming about her so much.
Dancing Zenyatta
To the wonder of all,
Zenyatta dances with the stars,
extending one foot to the right,
the other to the left,
Leads them on,
Swaying to and fro,
Head held high,
shoulders erect,
Gliding to the gate
All prepared to go,
ears pricked,
nostrils cleared,
eyes focused,
tail steady,
quiet and still,
standing alert,
waiting for the gate
to open,
she steadies her rider
and forward she bursts
to display her
dancing grace and style,
as she leads all
to the winner's circle
where she takes her final bow.
She wears the blanket of flowers,
has her picture made,
and those famous hooves
take her to the barn again.
She is the leader
she has won her perfect ten
for she is the Dancing Star,
So says judge Len!
