Go Baby Go!

I've been back in LA for 4 1/2 years and had yet to make it to the racetrack so I decided today was the day. One of my all-time favorite horses was running in the Lady's Secret Stakes so I called that my excuse, packed up Boris, and headed to Santa Anita.

Boris' first trip to the track :)

The weather was perfect. Sunny, kinda breezy, and not too hot. I saw some amazing horses and some great races and just generally had a great time.

The main reason I went though was to see Zenyatta. This mare is amazing. She is proving to be one of the great race horses of all time. She's big. She's gorgeous. And damn but she can run.... She was 12-0 going into the Lady's Secret Stakes this afternoon and she did not disappoint.




So with her easy (yet still impressive) win today Zenyatta remains undefeated. Next up for her is the Breeder's Cup Ladies Classic on Nov. 6th. It's a $2 million race and it should be one for the record books. I can't wait!
