Flashback: The 'Classic' moment Zenyatta became a legend

Zenyatta broke dead last at the Churchill Downs race. She was slowly getting closer to the leaders, but she was still far behind. Mike Smith aimed her for the rail and she started to move closer. She eventually caught up with the pack and was running a half-dozen lengths off the leader. It was a miracle. The race was won by First Dude. He was the only horse to break away from the group. There was no other horse that could have done it. Zenyatta is a legendary race mare. Her name is celebrated in literature and cinema. For more information on the race visit ChurchillDowns.com.
