Zenyatta enters Churchill Downs track for morning work, 11/3/10 [00:41]
This film is out of focus (hey, I am *not* a professional videographer!) but shows Zenyatta (ridden by Steve Willard) ponied onto the Churchill Downs track for a workout, on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 (just a few days before the Breeders' Cup Classic.) A whole Irish contigent was standing next to me, and you can hear Irish jockey Johnny Murtagh say "She's jumping out of her skin," and "I'd say she's ready."
