Last weekend, Zenyatta appeared on Hollywood Park's track to bit adieu to her fans after being retired following her Breeders' Cup Classic win at the beginning of November.

There was a Zenyatta DVD and poster giveaway to celebrate the career of this grand mare. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was even in attendance to give a brief speech. Owners Jerry & Ann Moss (pictured left) seemed like proud parents as they talked about Zenyatta's career.

By the way, Jerry Moss was the "M" in A&M Records who produced The Police's third (and arguably their best) album, Zenyatta Mondatta. And that, my friends, is how Zenyatta got her name.

Zenyatta will parade one more time at Santa Anita on opening day, December 26, before she ships back to Kentucky. You can read more about the event here. I will be there to say so long to a mare who has been thrilling racing fans with her unique running style and her undefeated record.
