Legendary Jockey Mike Smith who rides Zenyatta had this to say: ``I believe she deserves this chance,'' said Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who rides Zenyatta. ``If she gets her opportunity to run her race and she runs it like I know she can, we might see something pretty incredible.'' Zenyatta has the advantage over the other horses having run 12 of her 13 races on synthetic surface. Even trainer Bob Baffert who trains Breedres Cup Classic contender Richard’s Kid has been impressed with Zenyatta’s gumption and had his to say: ``That's pretty gutsy. That's what our sport needs.
