We're watching the Breeders Cup coverage and I never realized that I could get so annoyed at commentating to horse racing. (As an aside, Zenyatta may not have won but the move up is really fun to watch - except for the fact that it looked like they were beating the crap out of her.)
They just keep going on and on about Zenyatta. Before the race, it was about the expectations on her and her perfect record, making her sound like an utter failure if she doesn't succeed. After the race, wondering how she feels about losing. She's a HORSE. I'm not sure she's crying inside at coming in second. Are you serious? Going on and on about how she feels not winning? Do horses even realize what they're involved in, about the racing and that they haven't won? Maybe they do, in which case I'm wrong, but stop imposing human feelings and expectations on the poor horse.
Enough ranting, back to work.
