Zenyatta to Compete in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup

zenyattaWatch for Zenyatta this weekend

By: Irma Haldane

Share/Bookmark

No American-bred horse has ever won 20 consecutive races, let alone retire undefeated. Zenyatta has a chance to accomplish both feats with a second straight victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. This Friday and Saturday in Louisville, KY, the Breeders World Cup will kick off for a wild weekend. Last time the queen of California raced outside her state, she retained her most impressive win in terms of margin of victory, taking this year’s version by 4 1/4 lengths and the ’08 race by 4 1/2 lengths.

The pace is expected to be a fast to be quick keeping Quality Road honest on the first turns. But the horse to watch is the late charging Zenyatat. Blame is expected to be the only horse with the capability to hold her off. Blame has won 3 of 4 lifetime starts at Churchhill Down, including the Stephen Foster Handicap last June.

To hear about the Top Picks for Saturday and Sunday, visit: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/11/02/1904206/zenyatta-the-star-attraction-of.html#ixzz149qTPyj6

Meatless Monday's

One easy way to help the environmentbaked tomato thyme

By: Irma Haldane

Share/Bookmark

Sid Lerner is 79. Known for his successful Charmin toilet paper campaign, he is now focusing on a little different topic he calls, Meatless Monday’s. The cause is self explanatory – it aims to generate a following that abstains from eating meat on Monday. A health cause designed to reduce meat consumption by 15%, the cause is partnered with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The cause does not advocate for the elimination of meat but simply hopes to bring perspective on the strain meat places on the environment. Most people are surprised to know that producing 1 ton of beef requires 140,000 bathtubs full of water (many millions of gallons). Growing the needed crops to feed cows is extremely demanding in terms of natural resources. This is one way to help alleviate the demand.

You can join them on Facebook and they offer daily recipes to help.
