Easy Choice
This voting was easy. Zenyatta overcame a lot to beat the boys and even though a lot of people doubted her, she put on quite a performance that will be remembered for years to come. This should be voted as another Moment of the Year just like when she won the Ladies' Classic last year and the same thing happened.

Ditto!
What Sharon said.
Yeah, I had no trouble
Yeah, I had no trouble voting on this one either! Zenyatta's race was AMAZING for sure! I wanted to smack the guy calling the race every time he said she was still in last place and out of the running! GO Z!!!
Zenyatta
I was a doubter but she proved me wrong it was an easy vote...Stan
Zenyatta for sure
Zenyatta's performance was a fantastic moment in history that defined her legacy. Not only was it the best accomplishment in 2009, it will be in the future , the only thing truly remembered from 2009 by the common fan. It was one of those moments in history that will live forever.
Ditto what oblitz said
I know, I was there at Santa Anita and witnessed and experienced that great accomplishment which I will remember and cherish always. I took the picture of the infield screen right after the race was finished.
no brainer...but a heck of a year in racing!
Zenyatta, without a freaking doubt! Not a moment's pause for me either.
I still have her picture on my desktop background :) I know I will never forget the excitement and mounting anticipation from following her career and the insanely perfect ending for that insanely perfect mare...quite a miracle she is! Is it weird to say I want to meet her? haha...no really I do.
Have to laugh
The way thiis question was phrased guaranteed the outcome would be Zenyatta didn't it? Comparing the Preakness to the Classic? I think whomever created this poll could have done better.
Rachel Alexandra is the best
Rachel Alexandra is the best horse in the world- Duh!!!!
