Hello All,
I am having the most fun today….doing a bit of exercise and relaxing in the sunshine. It is a bit brisk and cool…but the sun is out and it is wonderful.
Lots of things are happening this week at the barn and in my life. It is exciting. We are having the party for all of my friends at the barn…so I can THANK THEM for taking such great care of me for all of these years.
Then on Sunday, I’m parading at Hollywood Park. I get to go to the paddock and visit with all the fans. This should be great fun! Then I’ll walk out through the tunnel to the front part of the race track. I’ll get to see everyone! I can’t wait.
On the 6th, I leave for Kentucky. I am really getting excited about this trip as well. Steve and Mario will go on the plane with me. Ann, Jerry, John and Dottie will meet me in Lexington. We are hoping Mike comes along as well. I will get to visit with everyone upon my arrival and say HELLO.
I am one lucky girl. As the other details come out, I will share them with you.
Have a great Monday.
With love,
Z

Hi – I and my friend will be once again traveling from Texas to see you and wish you fond farewell. BUT, as soon as you are able to have visitors I will be making the trip to Kentucky. Love you so.

Zen- the tears won’t stop..you’ve given DZ and I so much hope and beauty. Life was so Grand with you Dancing and Prancing every other month or so for us. We’ve traveled to see you three times in the last several months. We met personally (you may remember, you ate my dress :-)). That was the 2nd best day of my life, touching your beautiful face. I’ve never been to Kentucky, but I guess I’m gonna start! You have captured my heart. I’ll never let a year go by without visiting The Horse Of A lifetime. Love you forever

Hi Zenyatta, Friends and Family,
You’re amazing–an absolute inspiration!
A single sentence to erase all the HOY controversy..
If you got to KEEP horse of the year, who would you vote for–Blame or Zenyatta?
With love and appreciation, Suzanne

I forgot to mention something important yesterday. I want to thank you for all the love you have generated between you, your complete team, and us fans. Love is the strongest force in the world, and it has banded us all into a band of brothers and sisters who love you so much.
I’ll be praying for the sister having surgery.

Zenny, wanted to send you some mints but missed the deadline:( So sorry but I do know that you get lots of treats from your adoring fans!
I will miss you so!!I am happy that Team Z is going to KY with you and helping you settle in and make the place fit for a Queen!:)
Wished I could see you on Sunday but will be thinking of you all day!! Have a great party, happy travels and keep dancing! You could teach some moves to A.P. Indy:) Maybe I get to see you in KY one day… You and Team Z are simply amazing! THANK YOU!!!
Lisa
She’s the queen. I was so impressed by Secretariat, but she’s a match. Wow. She WON that last Classic race no matter what anyone says – she did.

Dear Z….you will be so missed!! I’m concerned about you, actually. You love people so much. How will you do without that adoration constantly in your life? I wish they would show your 2010 BCC race at your farewell party. Even missing by a short head, that was the most grand racing we’ll EVER see and it deserves to be seen and relived over and over again. Be well…be very very well. And thanks, for it ALL!
Debbie
Dear, sweet Zen. I just read the Miami Herald piece that says that you will be at the Keeneland paddock the afternoon of December 6th, and that it will be the FINAL time for the public to see you before going to Lane’s End. Please tell us THAT IS NOT TRUE. Your fans need to know that you will be available, even on a limited basis if necessary, for photos and personal visits. Please!

Zenyatta, you are THE horse that brought millions of people together, in love, during a time that challenges the best in us. You showed us that a thoroughbred race horse does NOT need to bite, kick, or be constantly on the edge to be the best on the track, and in life. And you showed us how to combine courage, talent, generosity, and caring – as the recipe for real, enduring success. How can we ever return what you have given us?? You are the horse for all ages, and you have made us better people because of who you are…because you helped us open our hearts, as yours is open. What an incredible hole will be left with your departure…yet your legacy lives on, and we do better, because of you. Many blessings and many thanks!
Gail
Hi Sweet, Beautiful Girl! I will miss visiting you every weekend – my trips to the barn will just not be the same. I will be at your farewell party Sunday – Would not miss it for anything! Take care my “Birthday Sister” – know that I will love you always – you will always own a special place in my heart.
Elaine Winter
Thank you so much Zenyatta team for sharing your amazing gift with us. Going to Hollywood Park, Santa Anita and Del Mar won’t be the same. But, I’ve been through this many times and life goes on. In a few years from now. We’ll be blessed with your beatiful foals. Blessings!
Emily
Zenyatta I am going to miss going to see you race when you are in Kentucky! You deserve to retire and you will always be my favorite racer EVER!! :)
Abby
I miss you Zenny!!! It was a wonderful time, a few heart-attacks, watching you run I can’t wait to see the babies you make. You’ll be a great mom! I hope Lanes End will let fans come see you because I’d walk to Kentucky to meet you! Thank you for all the great memories Z! P.S. I don’t care what people say, you’re WAY better than Blame and you deserve the Horse of the Year award! Love you Z!
Sally Blank
Oh Z; I will never forget you and plan to come visit you at Lanes End as soon as they will allow. Enjoy your fan day!! Until then, have a safe flight, and Happy Trails to You. love you from Wi.

Dear, beautiful, magestic, Zenyatta, I thank God for giving you to us! I thank God that I was able to visit you six times this past week and a half bringing family and friends to see you! You were so much more than I ever expected. You are so gorgeous, so fit, muscled, soft, shiny, head held high and elegant, posing for pictures like the gueen you are, yet you lowered your head to allow us to pet you and kiss you. The look in your eyes were beyond discription, so wise, so kind. Zenyatta, your are most definately an angel, a gift from God. You will be in my heart forever. Thank you for giving us all so much joy! See you Sunday. You will be loved forever! May God protect you and comfort you always! And thanks to your wonderful family for sharing you to us all! May God Bless you all!

I hardly leave a response, however after looking at a few of the remarks on Diary Post #118. I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Is it just me or does it give the impression like some of these comments come across as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other sites, I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of your social community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
