I believe John Sherriffs uses cotton balls in the ears of all his horses. I have seen them on Zenyatta since at least Aug 2009. I have also seen them on Life is Sweet and Harmonius. They also wear them around the barn. I have also read that Sherriffs tries to keep his barn as quiet as possible.

Last year Z has made it the 1st female winning the Classic..if she again duplicates that come Nov..she would also be the 1st 6 year
old horse ever taking the event as well as the 1st animal lifting a classic cup 3 times consecutively on breeders' cup days.

Z is not älone fighting the field. Goldikova is now tipped to run in the BC Mile again this year, if she succeeds that would also land her
the historic 3rd time in a row.

Just for a statistical interest..of the 26 runnings since inception in 1984, the winners' ages are distributed rather evenly from 3 to 5 :

3 yo : 9
4 yo : 10
5 yo : 7
6 yo & up : 0

Zenyatta was out to stretch her legs for the first time this AM since her 19th victory in the Lady's Secret. She worked an easy 5/8th in 1:02.60 going her last 1/4 in 24.20 and galloped out 3/4's in 1 :16.40. TJ

Zenyatta worked in company yesterday with two of her stable mates to achieve what Sherriffs wanted Zenyatta to get out of the work. Watch the work. TJ
