I'm going to watch a horse race today. I'm not really a racing fan and don't know much about it. I have, however, read and seen some of the press on the champion Zenyatta, with a 19 win -0 loss record. If she wins this race, she will make history. Of course, she has already made history, but this would (will) seal the deal.
Everyone will be cheering for Zenyatta, even those who are racing against her. I think my interest is piqued because this horse is female, and she will be racing against "the males". The article I just read said that to really prove she is a true winner (or something like that) she has to beat the males. For that reason alone, I will be cheering my heart out for Zenyatta.
I watched a big race some years back where the female horse was racing against the males. I do believe that she won the race, but unfortunately, died in the effort, so that took the joy out of both the race and the victory. As I recall, she had three broken legs from the final moments and had to be put down.
So, for the girls, Zenyatta, run and stay well! And win if you can, if that is what destiny has in mind. It does seem like a lot of pressure to be carrying the load for not only horses and trainers and riders, but females everywhere!
I believe you can do it! (But I also want to see you enjoy your retirement!)
[which begins just after this race, one way or another.]
