For all my fillies.

Just when I begin to think that fashion magazines don't know how to write a decent article, along comes a surprise. W Magazine has a fabulous article about a female racehorse - with the coolest name, Zenyatta - who has been dominating races since 2007, including some against all-male competitors. She has a come-from-behind formula that works every time, and is even known for her "dancing" style. On top of all that, she has never been anything but first. The horse is amazing.

Still, I was absolutely floored by the quality of W's article. Steve Haskin's turn of phrase is elegant and powerful, just like his subject. He takes something most of us probably can't relate to (unless we were deeply moved by Seabiscuit or Secretariat, or had a friend or family member who took us to the races a lot), and makes it not only interesting and inspiring, but something we can care about too, now that we know it exists.

Love to all my fillies, keep on pushing!
