I think it was a great year too, but why not try for a better one next year? All the powers that be in the horse racing world should do whatever they can to get a match race between Rachel and Zenyatta. It would be great for the sport and would be the biggest boost for Horse Racing at a time when they need all the promotion it can get.

Maybe the two owners should come to grips and not only see which one is faster, but the positives that will come out of this race will be priceless! We can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Let the horses race!

I'm grateful for witnessing two champions: ZENYATTA and RACHEL ALEXANDRA!! Spectacular racing from the east coast to the west coast...

I wish the best for Zenyatta in her retirement and as a broodmare. I'm sure her "family" is going to miss seeing her at the barn!

I wish Rachel another great year in 2010 - kick major butt girl!!

And, I'm thankful RAGS TO RICHES (the other Girl Power) had a healthy foal this year. She looks just like her beautiful mommy!:-)

Happy Thanksgiving Alex,the great thing about this sport is that that you know each year some 3 year old is going to mature and show something special.In North America it was a filly called Rachel Alexandra,and in Europe it was a colt called Sea The Stars.Both give us a memorable

year,and then we had the old mare

Zenyatta showing us you never should forget your elders in a sparkling performance in the Breeders Cup Classic.It is late fall now and we all have some 2 year olds earmarked for next year,and then we have those 2 year old who have shown promise but need more time and then there are

those who have yet to race and won,t do so until after their official 3 year old birthday on Jan.1.It all makes for another interesting year''.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALEX

Thank you for standing up for racing safety but not jumping on the blame owners and trainers wagon. Protect the freedom to own and race horses from the clueless but compassionate horse cults and the news media who spew their rules to manage others horses.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too....and this year, let's make racing safe not only for the Triple Crown and Breeders Cup, but for the bread and butter horses, too. like the 5 in the last week alone.
