MIAMI – Three years of pent-up emotion for the connections of Zenyatta came bursting forth Monday night when Zenyatta was announced as the 2010 Horse of the Year, a title for which she had finished second the two previous years.

Jerry and Ann Moss, the owners of Zenyatta, reacted with great emotion. Jerry Moss largely held it together while making an acceptance speech, but his voice at times cracked, betraying the intense feelings he had for this moment.

MIAMI, Fla. -- The wildly popular mare Zenyatta won the final race of her career, outpolling Blame when named Monday night as the 2010 Horse of the Year after finishing second for Horse of the Year the two previous years.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Blame won the battle, the Breeders’ Cup Classic, but lost the ultimate war when Zenyatta was named Horse of the Year at Monday night’s Eclipse Award ceremonies. Neither Blame’s trainer, Al Stall Jr., or owner, Claiborne Farm’s Seth Hancock, were surprised in the least by the announcement, they said.
