Zenyatta won 19 of 20 starts; first mare to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic (2009); first to win two different Breeders’ Cup races (Ladies’ Classic in 2008, Classic in 2009).

Jamila’s ‘Daily Poison’

http://www.britannica.com/science/poison-biochemistry/Types-of-poison#ref396648

Zarontin   Trade name for Ethosuximide, an anti-epileptic medication;

Symptoms: can cause swelling of the limbs, liver failure, and fatal bone marrow aplasia. There is a delay of one to several days in the onset of the coma, mainly because it takes several hours for the above symptoms to kick in.  Acute overdoses may produce nausea, vomiting, and CNS depression including coma with respiratory depression.

A relationship between ethosuximide toxicity and its plasma levels has not been established.
