Hello Everyone,
I truly want to thank all of you for the heartfelt wishes and love you have expressed to me since hearing ‘my not in foal at this moment’ news! You are so sweet and gracious in your kindness to nurture ME at this time! I so appreciate all of your concern!
I am really doing fine. In reality, this is not an uncommon thing to happen with a maiden mare like I am. It happened early in the breeding season so I will have ample time to be bred again and get in foal. As I mentioned before, so many things in life don’t always go as planned. Upon reflection, I know with my career, it would have been great to run at 2 or early 3…but I just wasn’t ready. Fortunately, MY TEAM knew that and worked with me on my own individual developmental schedule.
In relation to this current news, it is simply a minor set-back…but I will be fine. I guess I just love to do things at my own pace!
Please remember, I AM A GREAT FINISHER! Once I get into the rhythm of things…I have a history of repeating the pattern successfully…19 times in a ROW! Now that thought is just TOO CUTE!
Again, thank you…ALL OF YOU…for the love and concern you have so kindly expressed to ME!
Have a wonderful day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

A beautiful picture of our girl! Yes Dottie, you are so right. This is a minor setback and she is the greatest closer on the planet!!! She has plenty of time.

Another award-what a wonderful birthday present! Congratulations most magnificent one. Kitei, thank you for the link for Pepper’s Pride. I knew she had been bred in KY but lost track of her. I don’t feel that she ever got the recognition that she deserved for her illustrious career. No matter where she raced or what type of race, she and her connections acheived quite a resume. Just because she didn’t have Z’s talent doesn’t mean she didn’t have the heart and determination. What a cute baby too, just like Z will have in due time. Best wishes to all.

Happy Birthday Eve Zenny.It’s almost here. Zen I wanted to do something special for your birthday. I was thinking what should I do, well heres what I did. I so hope you approve. I went to the post offfice just a little bit ago and mailed them a check and I wrote a little note with it and said Please do something special for “Pops” (Popcorn Delites) or any other horse in need in honor of Zenyatta’s Birthday…They should get it probably Monday. I hope that our love for you can help others. Now, you have a wonderful day tomorrow and I’ll be back tomorrow night. Love Ya very much Peggy

Z- We just found out today that our mare, who we thought was going to foal soon, was just showing signs of a false pregnancy. We are heartbroken. I kept joking that this was going to be the winner of the 2014 Kentucky Derby and some where in my heart I felt that was true. I understand everyone’s sadness, but with you there is such light. I know you will get pregnant this time and in our minds the baby will win the 2015 Kentucky Derby for us.

Congratulations on your William H. May Award.
As the song goes:
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you … to know, know, know you is to love, love, love you – and I do.
Have a happy special day!

Hey Zenny, last week my ceramic mug arrived by mail, showing a Queen’s crown and “Zenyatta” in your colors, customized with my favorite quote about you, as Vic Stauffer called #5, the 2008 Milady Handicap: “How do you describe perfection? Why try? Let’s just watch her run. This is Zenyatta!” and also with “19 + 1 by a nose!” (instead of the usual “19 – 1”), and also “Zenny, Horse of the Year 2010”.

I do things at my own pace too, sometimes it takes me longer than others, but when I do it I do it right!! When the time is right for you you are going to be the best mom ever!!
Irene Caty
Hi Zenyatta, I know that you are a great finnisher alright and how could we ever forget that after 19 times with no loss. I am sure you will have your foal at your own pace also. There is nothing wrong with takeing your time to get started racing as you did and no one can argue with the results. Haveing a foal might be a little different but I do know that when you do have your foal, it will excite the whole nation just as it was when you raced to glory. You are so great and exciting that you stir the hearts of all that know about you. Keep on winning Z and hope that your next breeding with Bernie is a winner. Take care sweetie and love you much.
