'In a sport that winning is everything, Zippy taught us that losing is a normal thing,' said one of the horse's fans.
— Not long ago, friends and fans gathered to pay their final respects to one of the most unlikely celebrities in sports — Zippy Chippy.
Zippy Chippy, the grandson of Kentucky Derby winner Northern Dancer, was born into a racing royal family. Zippy, too, could have been one of the all-time greats — if only at the start of every race he just would have started. "Zippy is like my son. I like him a lot. And every time he runs, he makes me feel good," Monserrate told"CBS Sunday Morning."
