It was officially announced today that Zenyatta is being retired and will be sent to Kentucky in early December. If I ever visit Kentucky, I am hitting up so many farms it won't even be funny. LoL All the farms are pretty good about letting you take a tour, see the facilitie,s and the horses, but any farm (Lane's End for Zenyatta) is going to have to be particularly good about letting fans see her just as much as the stallions.
I'm glad she's retiring sound and happy, but it is sad knowing I won't get to see her run again. A part of me hoped they'd keep her around another year and race her around the country against males. Oh well. Now I'm worried Hollywood Park will want to parade her THIS weekend. It'd be pretty stupid, all around, if Hollywood didn't allow time for her to have a farewell parade. It'd make them automatic money from the bazillion people driving out to see her and it'd be good for the fans. I'm hoping they do it the 27th because it's Mike Smith bobblehead giveaway day so that'd be more fitting an it's closer to the time before she leaves. Unfortunately, since the retirement is this week...it might be this weekend and I'll be in Monterey. :( We'll see...
