Happy, Happy Thursday to Everyone!
This is a very exciting day for several reasons! First of all, I am getting some fun visitors from the 60 Minutes Crew! They did such a great segment on ME when I was at Barn 55. Their staff came and spent a complete week with John, MYSELF, and all of My Team. Now they are coming out to Lane’s End to get some current footage of ME for a follow-up piece. This will be fun!
My paddock mates and I will all be looking TOO CUTE for them! David has been speaking with their offices to help get it all organized. I’ll let you know when 60 Minutes is going to air this piece. I’ve heard…it could be this Sunday…but I’ll find out more once everyone is at the farm with ME!
On another note, I want to THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT ME in your comments and responses! At this moment, everything in my life is moving right along perfectly. I’m in terrific shape, extremely healthy and very happy. I’ll keep you posted as time goes along…but at this moment I could not be better! BLUSH, BLUSH!
Also, as the Kentucky Oaks is getting closer, my friend, ZAZU, looks like she will be coming to KY to participate in this race. She will work again over the weekend…and if all is A-OK, she will then be on the plane and coming for the OAKS. This also means I’ll get to spend some fun times with Ann, Jerry and Dottie. They will be coming to town. I’m so EXCITED!
As for the business side of ME, I have alerted NINA KAISER (our sculptor) to have #19 ready to go for Dawn Conrad, our contest winner. I know Dottie will be calling her soon to get all of the postal particulars so the BRONZED ME can be sent safely to her!
Whew! Now that I have taken care of my business matters for the day….I’m off to exercise and play in the paddock with my friends. YIPPEE!
Have a wonderful day!
With love,
Hugs to ALL~

Oh Zenny- I can’t help but cry when I think of just how far away from me you are. I’m excited to hear that 60 Minutes is coming out to visit you and do another show- that’s TOO CUTE! I bought the last DVD that they did on you, so much fun. I can’t wait til Derby Day and the OAKS, I have taken that day off so I can watch the races GO GO ZAZU!!!
With All My Love and Hugs/Kisses be safe and have lots of fun with your PALS!!!
Barb France
Had to do a double take when I saw Nina’s name…nice to hear from you! Your statue is on my WISH list…matter-a-fact it is on the refigerator in very BOLD letters!
My thoughts and prayers are with all those who are in the path of those storms.
How exciting Zenyatta, that your going to be on 60 minutes again. The more the media shows how AMAZING your are the better is has to be for the Sport of Kings!! So glad you are happy and healthy and enjoying that blue Kentucky grass!! Thanks, Dottie, for a great post!!

Dear Zenny, how wonderful 60 minutes came back this is exciting. Your friend Zazu possibly running in the Oaks and your dear family coming to see you. You will be so excited all week long. Its wonderful to hear from you again. Now to check out the Derby field and picka horse.
Cathy Marshall
Thanks for the update! I can’t wait to see 60 Mins. You are such a Super Star! I do appreciate all the things your team does, so we can keep in touch with you. Love you, Zenny!!
Helen
Zenyatta deserves all sixty minutes on “60 Minutes”. She is such a stunner. Thanks for giving us notice ahead of time. So glad the lady is happy, healthy and blushing! Time for fun and good luck to Zazu at the Oaks.

Ms Zenyatta, I am definiately cheering Zazu, love to say that name, even in my head…it is so cool..Zazu, Zazu. Anyway, I was watching these guys, cannot remember who, talking about the Oaks..and then one asked the other, is there a filly out there that could be in the Derby? Nah, don’t think so, there is no Zenyatta out there…not exact words, but to that affect…Most I remember, there is no Zenyatta out there. Big Girl, everybody is still talking about you and always will…I love you so…Lisa g.
Laura
Can’t wait for the 60 mins!!! I just recorded it :D
Paula McCaleb
Sweet Zenyatta, I’m so glad to hear everything is moving right along perfectly. You know we will all be waiting to hear your BIG announcement. :) Congrats on another 60 minutes segment, can’t wait to see the footage of you and your friends having fun at Lanes End. These are some exciting times for our “Precious Girl”. GOOD LUCK to ZAZU!!
Debbie G
It’s so good to see a picture of you, Zenny. It’s been a while since we’ve seen one and I’ve missed seeing your beautiful face. I’m very excited about 60 Minutes. I still have the other one on my DVR and I watch it every now and then and it always makes me smile. I hope your friend Zazu does good in the Oaks next week. Every time it storms here my first thought is that I hope Zenyatta is OK. You are so special. Loving you in Lexington :-)
Tonya Reems
How awesome to have 60 Minutes coming in to see you & your Team, Queen Z! So glad to hear all is well there ~ what a lovely pic today also :) You are SUCH a beauty, bringing sunshine to our hearts <3 Thanks for the heads up as we anxiously await to see you in the piece on tv soon! YAY! Hugs & kisses to you sweet beauty :) And thanks as always to you, Ms. Dottie :)
Paula Higgins
Susan in TN, yes, I am worried about them too. Sharon Call posted on the previous post that she came out of it o.k. She lives in Western Ga and was in the path of the storms. I think many animals and horses have been effected. I saw a picture of a very nice house decimated but the barn, with the horses in it, didn’t get hit. A small miracle anyway.
Stephanie J Lambert
I am so excited to see the follow up, Tell Daddy John thank you thank you thank you for his new video on You Tube…Please stay safe in Kentucky and we here in Maine are praying for all the Tornado Victims with all our hearts x0x00x
Sharon in Seattle
happy May Day!! happy 60 minutes! happy bluegrass munching!

Hi Zenny, I’m glad to hear that you are doing well. I can’t wait to see the 60 Minutes update! The first segment was fantastic and I’m sure this one will be just as wonderful. It will be fun to see some new footage of you and your gal pals.
Have a nice day, sweet girl.
Love to all,
Leslie
Stephanie Howard
Read about your stall being turned in to a shrine at the Paulick Report Website. Your “minders” out there @ barn 55 still think of you often… I’m glad they left the stall to you instead of trying to put a new face in there. That stall is yours!
Carolyn
Lets all pray for our blogging pals, Zenyatta’s fans that live in or near this devastation of tornado’s and storms. I hope they are all OK and can keep in touch with us soon. May God Bless You All… My prayers go out to our four legged pals and two legged fans as well.
My heart has already been broken wheh I read about the mother eagle getting killed by the plane earlier this week, I had been following them since I read about them on here, I’ve cried for the father , the beautiful brave mother, and was releived when they intervened for the eaglets sake and the fathers sake. I hope he finds a new mate soon, bless him for he lost his family. I know that God will safely protect him now, You know the bible speaks of the eagle, I know mama eagle is in heaven soaring high with the others…..
Lauren O'Neill
Glad to hear you are doing GREAT Zen-girl! I love you so much and you make my days better. <3
I have a favor to ask of you and your fellow friends: I just got a new job after being laid off for several months (Yipee!!) Welllll its an office type job where im sitting in a cubicle for 9hrs. Im very much new to this type of environment and I get lonely most part of the day =( …I was wondering if you could put a wallpaper section on your website where i can put you on my computer at work!? It would be the best if you could =) plus people will ask who you are, if they dont already know LOL, and i will be able to brag and brag about you =)
Thank you!
Love always
Lauren!!

@Judy Berube~ Zenyatta has the best fans in the world with the biggest hearts. I’ll buy my lottery tickets tonight. :)
@Sue in TN~ I REALLY am Zenyatta’s #1 fan in Montana! What better way to distinguish myself? :)
Kimberly Potter
@Lauren O’Neill~ If you go to Zenyatta’s facebook page and click on photo’s…find the photo you want as wallpaper…then right click on it and chose “set as background”. It should instantly be there. The one I chose is Zenayatta at a full gallop in her paddock the first time they turned her loose at Lanes End. It brings tears to my eyes everyday.!
Zenyatta’s #1 fan in Montana!

@Paula Higgins, Cheryl (in Georgia) and Kari Bussel. Please see my post at the end of 232. Lucky me, I don’t live in western GA, but in Forsyth County north of Atlanta and the worst of the storms passed north of me (just barely, but a miss is as good as a mile, in this case). I’, too, am concerned about Amanda since there was so much devastation in AL. Hope we hear from her soon.
Sue Noel
What horrible tornados!!!! So sorry for all who are suffering. Hope to hear from Amanda soon!! Please let us know you are ok ,dear girl!!
Queen Z,I sent a check to Old Friends in honor of you–surely hope the checks from your fanns are helping! I can’t think of a better way for all of us to do something for you than to help them out now.
@Dawn Conrad-It’s so wonderful that you are receiving congrats from so many! It should make you realize how much you and your posts mean to so many here. I,for one,always look to find your posts and see what your news is for that day!!
Zenny I am so glad all is well with you and that your family is coming to visit!!Can’t wait to see the 60 Minutes piece!! Hope the weather back there changes for the better–can’t believe the devastation from this latest spate of tornados!! Was so sorry to hear about the deaths mentioned in todays posts!!
May you soon have the sun on your back and a soft breeze to ruffle your mane!! LOVE YOU!!!

Reading all your news just made my day, Queen Z! So many of us are glad to know that you are happy and healthy and blushing.
I’m not surprised that 60 Minutes is coming back for more — I’m sure you completely charmed them on their first visit. You are The Queen, after all. Can’t wait to see the new piece on you with footage from LEF.
Stay well, and good luck to Zazu!
As always, thanks to Dottie for being such a terrific scribe for you, and to all of Team Z for sharing you with us.

Dear Zen, Oh it was so great to see that beautiful head and blaze when I got on the post and see those lips nibbling that luscious Kentucky blue. Your going to be fat and sassy on 60 Minutes and the picture of health and we hope a “mommie to be”
@Hernan Tovar and those who posted if they win the lottery they’ll buy everyone a bronze…. wow what a great idea, count me in.
I’m rooting for Zazu too I shall watch with fingers crossed and prayers for all the horses safety. I’m having a derby party with derby dishes, glasses, napkins, and mint juleps all of which I bought in Kentucky.
My prayers go out to all in the south dealing with those storms and flooding, and the loss of life human and animal. I think of all those new babies I saw on the farms there and pray they are all safe.
Sweet dreams Zen, start primping for your photo shoot, Luv and kisses on your nose.
Hernan Tovar
Fans of Zenyatta… I love you all!!!!
But… Judy, Kimberly, you two are special… Ingrid

Oh Zenyatta, I can’t wait to see you on 60 minutes! You can show everyone just how happy you are with your friends at Lane’s End!. I’m sure glad your happy Z.. you are in my prayers everynight; I know GOD has his own special Angels watching over you!! Love you, Z..

I am happy that you love munching on the Blue Grass. Another 60 Minutes gig, how great. You are the best poster girl for the Sport of Kings, beautiful to look at with the greatest personality and the best team. I do wish that they would parade you at the Derby so that once again we could see you bow. There is a royal wedding about to take place in England, but we have our own royalty here with you. Although, there was one, a long time ago named Noor. He was named after the famous Kohinoor Diamond that resides in the Queen Mum’s crown. Kohinoor means “Mountain of Light,” and Noor meant light. He was black and your John took care of him just as he took care of you. Love you Zenyatta!

What a wonderful post and you look gorgeous in your picture — and exciting news about 60 minutes. They are very smart to come see you!!! You are a TV star, too!
