Am I not looking in the right place? I read where Zenyatta is racing today and not a word do I find. Anyone?
I didn’t know she was racing today until your post. I found the info:
http://www.nctimes.com/sports/equestrian/racing/article_baf748b4-833f-5328-b71f-0c0b6b062241.html
She is entered in the Hirsch at Del Mar but so far as I know they still have not committed to actually running her. Shirreffs has some concerns about the surface.
The lack of hype may also be due to an almost tangible collective feeling of “Meh” at the prospect of watching her beat up another group of mares who couldn’t touch her if she ran hitched to a Buick.
Hmmmm…yes I did read lots of negative comments about this race, and those she is racing against.
But, I still love her and wish her well. Sure wish I could see the race live.
As of now (3:30) she’s still listed as running on Equibase! Race goes off at 6pm EST.
Torn between praying they’ll run her and glad they are being cautious - I do NOT want to see that supergirl breakdown!!!
Btw, my equine vet invited me to join her to go to the Breeder’s Cup at Churchill (her hubby gave her 2 tickets for her bday, but doesn’t like to watch racing - I was the lucky schmuck who showed up in her office at the right moment, and drooled enough to win the companion slot - many of my area horse friends aren’t speaking to me now out of pure jealousy :D)
Praying Z stays sound and fit - seeing her win the Classic again in person would be maybe one of the best things that could ever happen to me!

TVG is going to show it, do you have Cable? Yeah, seems a walkover, but I can’t watch that mare run without getting a huge silly grin of delight on my face
I do love watching her run no matter who she’s running again but it is getting tiresome watching her beat up on these horses. It’s like watching a 5th grader beating up kindergarteners.
Negative comments abut Zenyatta !! - some people are so jaundiced.
Actually, the race goes about 6:00 PM PST time.
I understand what people are saying with the class of mares she’s racing against…but I’m still looking forward to seeing her run.
I think she’s an amazing, amazing horse.
Just gotta give a shout out to Blame. NICE race.
So about 9pm our time (Fl). Is anyone going to watch?
No, I do not have Cable, I have Satellite TV. I do not think I get that program.
it will be on HRTV on Dish Network…probably on Direct TV too…
I have direct TV. Don’t see that channel listed:confused:

Argh, yep sorry - that’s the “ethnocentric” in me, thinking the world revolves around the Eastern coast of the USA:no: My bad - trying to become more globally oriented, obvioiusly I still have work to do:yes:
Saw Blame as well, wowsers! Very cool, hope they will be at the BC with that one!
Okay, already into the beer getting into the mood for Zenyatta, 3 hours early :lol: Might as well keep boozing and enjoy an evening of TVG leading to the big “Z”!!!

Is the race on TVG or HRTV? They’re not the same channel. When my parents had Dish Network, they got HRTV but not TVG. I have DirecTV (and they do too) and now we both get TVG but not HRTV.
It’s on Directv right now-channel 602 on TVG. They’re showing the horses from race 8, and she’s in race 9.
Channel 602 on directv.
Here she comes! Here she comes!
She’s walking over to the paddock right now…looking great…
Go, Z!!!
As a side light, in that last race, I cannot believe that jockey on the 3 didn’t fall off and that horse didn’t go down. Stumbled doesn’t cover it. They need a stronger word for the race chart. Kudos to the velcro jockey.
