Zenyatta is about to show Secretariat you can leave your mark on history without being so serious. 

Whether it's her hysterical pre-race dances or the fact she loves to wash down her favorite snack of carrots with a cold Guinness beer, Zenyatta has amassed an immense and diverse following ready to tune in Saturday – as the undefeated (19-0) mare hopes to capture the Breeders' Cup Classic in Kentucky.

Jerry Moss and his wife, Ann, purchased Zenyatta for only $60,000 at the 2005 Keeneland September Yearling Sale because she suffered a form of ringworm. Quite a bargain when you consider she's won purses totaling more than $6 million.
