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~

Ph dear sweet Zenyatta, you are so loved and just to know that you are healthy and doing well puts my mind at ease. You seem to be quite an easy going and understanding horse with lots of love to give to everyone. We are all out here in full support of you in all your endeavors. LIfe can be quite a mystery sometimes, and there is time for all everything. Wishing you and Bernardini the best this next time around.
You shine brighter than the brightest star up above!
Love & Blessings to you sweetie!

Hi Zenny,
What a great award,International at that,
you are “the one”. SO tomorrow is a big day for you, #7, you don’t look a day over 6. I was so happy that you could retire but we are in the throws of big races right now and I miss seeing you so much. It just seems strange that you are no longer on the track, that I’ll never see that incredible strech run of yours, you were one remarkable runner, yes indeed.The final 16th at the BC last year, took my breath away. I was there and you were at your best, as Trevor would say unbelievableeeeeeeeeeee!!
Of course I am happy that you are healthy and happy but no one could do it like Z,not even close.
Enjoy your big day tomorrow, I’ll just replay a couple of your races for ole times sake.
Happy Birthday, love ya Z.
Mary Check
An early Happy Birthday Zenyatta. Always remember how much we ALL love you…

Beautiful Zenyatta, Just read in Thoroughbred Times that you are the first horse to ever receive the William H. Mays Award due to what you have contributed to the sport of racing and the interaction with your fans. Congratulations to your entire family and especially to you pretty one. I am so happy for you and I’m sure John and Dottie, along with Mr. & Mrs. Moss are just beaming. What a neat pre-birthday gift. Love you so much.
