♞ Dear stable friends, tonight is a banner evening for the world of horseracing. It is the equine equivalent of the Academy Awards! The 44th annual Eclipse Awards ceremony will take place at Gulfstream Park, and will be carried live on HRTV beginning at 5:00 EST. Four years ago, our Queen was honored as the 2010 Horse of the Year. None of us will ever forget that magical night! And we cannot help but feel, in some way, that a piece of the award belonged to El Vino, too, and all of those horses who helped her achieve and maintain her greatness throughout her racing career. If you love Thoroughbred horses you go through life hoping that you can see just one more in whose presence the clouds fall away to reveal the mountaintop. It can take a generation or infinitely longer for such a horse to arrive, a horse that is capable of carrying the human heart. For the last one hundred years we know them all by name, but Zenyatta brought to us a beauty that was a tonic for the soul. She allowed us to believe in the impossible, and it was the light of her being as much as the thrill of her races that got us dancing. Zenyatta was transformative.
