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~

So glad to hear from you again Zenyatta!!! I’m happy to hear that you are doing well and having a great time =)
Sheri
Im glad to hear you’re good and healthy! Love you Zenny!:D
Cora Lynne
I look forward to seeing the updated footage of you on “60 Minutes”. I still have the previous show on TIVO, saved so I can watch it over and over again. I know you are happy there with your new life, but I gotta say that you are very much missed in California.
Nancy
That is so exciting about 60 Minutes doing another segment on you. You are so deserving of all the attention.
Vicki B.
Zenny, keep on “blush, blush”-ing, girl!
And very sorry about all the damage and loss of people and animals in areas hit by tornados — and hurt in areas with drought.
Paula Higgins
Sharon Call, so glad you weren’t in the west of Georgia. I am in Marietta and we only saw thunderstorms and moderate winds. I was up until 2 a.m. I kept coming to this site because Zenny has a calming influence :). so glad these storms didn’t hit near her. The power is out to about 1 million people in Alabama so Amanda may not be able to get on line. I hope that is all it is. It’s been devastating there.

Dear Ingrid:
Thanks. So are you. Hugs, Judy B.

Prayers to the people of Mississippi, I did not mean to leave you out, I just found out that your beautiful state was also included in the Monster Tornado…it travelled 370 miles..that is unimaginable. Surely we will all feel a little bit better when Amanda gets her electricity back on.

Zenyatta and Team Z thank you for the most positive post today. I have to tell you that I have been feeling down in the dumps. You have been on my mind all the time. It sounds like you are in for a busy few days and how exciting that is. I can hardly wait for the 60 Minute showing. You will be beautiful as always. I miss you and pray for the very best for you now and always. Thank you team Z for the update today. xoxoxoxo

Ms Zenyatta, Good night, Big Girl..nothing but wonderful dreams for you. I cannot wait to see you dancing, prancing, grazing, rolling around, running free this Sunday. I watched your Freedom video again today, and yes, I credit again. I am happy when you are happy. I love you….Lisa g
Joan

Barbara Smith
Z-Can’t wait to see the 60 Minutes segment on you. Loved the first one, especially the part they showed of you drinking a bottle of Guiness. Glad you are safe. Take care and keep the posts coming.
Pat Beck
Nancy Bickford and Leslie: I couldn’t agree more. I believe we’ve been given a hint. Can’t wait for confirmation!
Also can’t wait for the 60 Minutes update. I just loved Bob Simon’s take on you–“the most magnificent creature I’ve ever seen” (or something like that).
Love you always, Z.
Christine in VA
Zen You are such a STAR
Did you get an invite to the royal wedding after all YOU ARE A QUEEN. Hope to see you soon on the TV 60 Min. They know a good thing when they see it.

Zenny: you sound so happy! can’t wait to see 60 Minutes! i’m glad to hear you will get to see Ann, Jerry, and Dottie soon! You are a sweet girl with a pure spirit. You are loved so much! Thank you, Team Z, for all you do for us.
@ LAURA J: i enjoyed reading about your horse- how exciting! also appreciate the racing info you have passed along.
@ ZAZU: run fast!

I’m glad all the bad weather is over for you. In the area we live in, there was a tornado warning around 12:00 A.M. last night. My mother, my sister, and I got up and went into a windowless room in the middle of our house with pillows to cover our heads in and enough stress to fill the shallow end of a swimming pool! Thankfully, the tornado did not pass near us, and we are all safe. Were there any tornados in Kentucky? If there were, I’m glad I didn’t think about that possibility until after the rough weather was over. I would have worried about you so much I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I hope everything is OK at Lane’s End. Zenyatta, I wonder… could you send me the adress of Lane’s End Farms? I know I can post to you on the website, but I would like to write you a personal letter. :D Zenyatta, you are the best horse ever!!!!!!!
All my love.
Hugs and Kisses~(your own sweet words! :D)
Luv,
Anna <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Oh, Z? One more thing: I luuuuuuv the pic!!! :D You look so happy to be out there with all that delicious GRASS lol! Beautiful as always. :)

Dear Z fans:
Cloud Man just finished 3rd in the 7th race at Hollywood. He came from the back and was making a good move on the rail where he found no room (horses in front of him). He moved to the outside and finished fast for third. Hugs, Judy B.
Sharon Call
@Paula Higgins. I live on the west side of Cumming and got pretty much the same thing you got. We both got lucky. My childhood friend lives in Huntsville, AL and I talked to her this afternoon. Everyone is OK there but all of North AL has no power because the TVA power plant in that area is down. No gas, no traffic lights, grocery stores are letting people in 1 at a time, dusk to dawn curfews to try to stop looting and she said it would be 5 to 7 days before they could expect power back. NASA and Restone Arsenal are both shut down putting a lot of people out of work temporarily, hospitals and nursing homes are running on generators. I just hope that Amanda doesn’t live in the Tusdaloosa or Birmingham areas that were so hard hit. I sure wish we could hear from her soon.

Purchased the Reader’s Digest (May issue) with you in it. I’m amazed at how you take my breathe away EVERY TIME I see a photo or video of you. You are such a beautiful, striking horse, and with a personality to match! I feel so very lucky to have witnessed such great history in the making. You ROCK, Queen Z!
Madi
I’ll be rooting for Zazu! I’m so excited! I’m glad youre doing well and are you trying breed again? It will be SUPER exciting watching your babies on the track(And maybe even the tripple crown!) Love you Zenny!
Cheryl
Thank you so much for posting a diary entry – getting worried there for awhile! All this crazy weather going on – and the questions surrounding your first breeding. I just want you to be healthy and happy happy happy! We dont care about any of that other stuff. Just you. Setting the recorder for 60 minutes for sure! I missed their first segment about you and am not going to let that happen again! Hey Zen – who’s your pick for the Derby? LOVE YOU!
Cynthia H.
You look just as content and at-home in the photograph as you did munching the grass on your little plot under the tree outside dear old Barn 55. However, you have w-a-a-a-a-y more room in your new yard! How wonderful that 60 Minutes will be doing a follow-up on your life! We cannot wait, and you know that millions of people care what happens to you and will love you forever! Perhaps we’ll hear more great news shortly, that you are in the “pink,” and we can forget all of our “blues” (hint, hint!).
Heartfelt prayers go out to all of your many devoted fans who live in the Southeastern part of our country, and on the Eastern seaboard. So many residents have suffered devastating losses. I truly hope that everyone survived the terrible storms.
Barbara Grimaldi
Wow, have I missed you! When I don’t get a post, I worry! Then when I get one, I smile till it hurts from all the things you say!!! I am so happy that you are so happy! I love you so much!
Kimberly Potter
@Ingrid~you are very special too!
@Judy Barube~Thanks for the update on Cloud Man. He did good coming in 3rd. I wasn’t able to watch as I was at work.
Sue and Tony
So great to see a pic of you grazing in the bluegrass, Zenny. We are excited about the 60 minutes piece, too. Those folks know a star when they see one.
Susan in Tn., so sorry to hear abolut the damage in your state, especially to the horses. We are sending prayers to the heavens for everyone affected by this terrible weather.
kathy wilson
So, so glad to get info about you Zenny!! I was going through withdrawals and needed my Zenyatta fix! Can’t wait to see 60 minutes and to hear more about you and the team!! So glad you are doing well.
Trina Nagele
OH, my! I didn’t notice there was a new post, and I was still commenting back at the end of 232–I hope people will still check it out. I also didn’t succeed in posting the link to the article about the British jockey who helped to bring William and Kate back together, so I’ll try again here: http://uk.royalwedding.yahoo.com/blogs/meet-william-and-kate%E2%80%99s-matchmaker-6840

Stay well and dry.
