Happy Saturday!
On May 10th, the PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN of CALIFORNIA will be holding their yearly conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. This organization was founded in 1989 by U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier. It is dedicated to advancing the professional and personal development of women of all ages and and on all levels. The PBWC provides tools, resources, and a strong business community to encourage women to succeed and contribute at the highest levels in all aspects of various fields, businesses and industries.
I am honored to say that I have just learned one of my fans has spoken to them about ALL of my accomplishments as a Female Athlete who achieved this success while residing in California. As a result, the PBWC wants to include me in their program. How proud and flattered I am at this moment! I’m pretty sure a HORSE has not been part of their program before this!
The conference has 3 different presentations outlined for the day. They are CONNECT, EXPLORE and INSPIRE! My work and achievements have been selected to KICK-OFF the INSPIRE portion of the program. I will be followed in this part of the presentation by Carolyn Johnson from ABC 7 News, International Author, Isabel Allanda, and then America Ferrara, who is an Emmy Award Winning Actress for her role in the series, Ugly Betty.
If you are interested in learning more about PBWC or the conference, here is the link:
I can’t begin to tell you how truly elated I am at receiving this news! INSPIRE!! Wow!
It is gorgeous in Kentucky today. My pals and I are really enjoying this great weather. Then tomorrow…60 Minutes is airing an update on ME! I am so fortunate!
Have a very special weekend!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

I am so upset that Zenyatta’s segment was interrupted! I called the station to complain. Finally I was watching our Queen and all
her positive energy and it got cut off! Please reair this as I was recording and I am so upset not to see her new footage. I just love you so much Zenyatta, I just don’t want to see anything about that evil person especially during YOUR program!!!!
AJ from CA
@S (in San Diego) – thanks for the un-interrupted link to 60 minutes! Loved seeing Z’s little kick in her paddock at the end. Great choice of timing from CBS to replay the segment with Kentucky Derby coming up. I”m sure they know this will boost the Derbys’ rating with Zenyatta’s celebrity status.
Maryyette
You are so lovely and wonderful, just a happy and joyful presence, Zenyatta – reminded again of that when I saw you on 60 Minutes – you are a blessing in our lives. Love you, Sweet Girl!!!
Trina Nagele
@Shari Voltz’s class—Good luck on your test today, and remember: try to do your best, no matter what, like Zenyatta! Best wishes to you all from another Zenyatta fan.

I also think we will get “official” word at the 45 day mark and not before. LE and Team Z are wise to keep things quiet till then.
My, isn’t she beautiful…and that look on John’s face when he speaks of her is one of pure love.
Janie
Okay, I saw the whole segment online after all. I was surprised there wasn’t more new footage of her, but I loved what there was! Such a beauty you are, darlin’ Zenyatta. Love you SO much, sweet girl.

All that wait all day and then breaking news. You can also watch it in its entirety on the 60 Minutes Website. They also have some extra’s from the earlier segment. Thank goodness. Only the President of the U.S. can pre empt Zenyatta on60 minutes.
I enjoyed the segment with the young lady who knew more about racing and horses than Bob Simon or the Producer of the segment. Very enjoyable. Ms. Zenyatta you look MARVELOUS!!!
Joyce
Paula, thanks for your post. Yes, 2010 Breeders Cup was Zenyatta’s finest race, I am convinced. During the first part of the race she was got so very far back it did seem like Alaska. You could see the dirt on her and I was so worried. It seemed absolutely impossible for her to catch the field and get to the front. They say 20 lengths, but that was after she had about caught up with the field. Sixty minutes showed her move when she had already engaged the field, I wish they had shown her beginning her move and how very far she back was at that moment. The 2009 race was not enough to win over some, but I believe the 2010 race showed the naysayers the quality and heart of our Miss Z.
Your input and knowledge about this are greatly appreciated.
Now, fans, about the postage stamp, how can we go about getting that done?

I’m so sorry that I didn’t get to see you tonight on 60 minutes because of the interruption of programming due to “world events”. I am so disappointed. And, I don’t have a computer with the most recent flash player so I can’t watch you on Hulu… I’ll find a way to watch you dear Z. What a blessing you are to so many… giving hope and inspiration…. Maybe CBS will re-air your segment! Thanks Dottie for all the updates about Z…
KIMBERLY
Yes I too had to miss part of the 60 minute broadcast….. Hopefully they will have a rerun soon. Dottie please let us know if they plan to show it again. The beginning was great….. Sorry I missed you ZZZZZZZ.. :-(
AJ from CA
After reading that there is confirmation that Bin Laden was actually killed last week I’m suspecting that tonight’s breaking news was orchestrated to occur during prime time networking such as 60 minutes for more effect. Thank goodness for internet where that could not happen. Hope everyone here gets a chance to watch the entire segment soon.

Lexie
Zenyatta,

DJ
On http://www.Zazzle.com you can create your own postage stamps with a photo. Quite expensive though. However, the Zenyatta envelopes, holiday cards, and the tennis shoes are “TOO CUTE!” Goodnight sweet Z, and All.

Hi Zenny Girlfriend!
I was watching “60 Minutes” here on the West Coast when they interrupted with news. So, I went to CBS link and found the program there. I got to see how gorgeous you STILL are, Sweetie! I miss you more than ever… :-(
HUGS & KISSES XOXOXOXOXO

Zenny, Zenny, we got ripped off at your Hollywood home town. I see you have heard. Please tell CBS to rerun you. I was recording you & I watched it on the net but it is not the same.
Very upset on this Sunday night!! :)

Hello Zeny! Was so happy watching you on 60 Minutes here in California when they interrupted with a special report that Osama Bin Ladin is dead. This is unbelievable news for the families of the victims of 9-11 and the entire country. With this news let us continue to pray for peace and harmony for our country and the world.
I hope we will be able to see the entire 60 minutes again. It aired earlier in other States so there must be a complete segment. Please let us know where it is available. THANKS!
Zeny, so happy the weather has improved and you can finally go outside and get some sun! ENJOY! Hugs and blessings to you! Marilu
S (in san diego)
just watched the segment for the second time online. Just seeing you looking so beautiful and healthy was a treat. I can’t watch you race without tearing up. When I would go to see you run at Del Mar, Hollywood Park or Santa Anita…I knew to take a box of tissue with me. At your celebration at Hollywood Park…I shared the box with many when you made your appearance. Tonight..brought back many special memories. I know there will be many more as you prepare for mommyhood. If not this year ….next, just would hate to see you lose your paddock buddies if they go to be with other mares in foal. Love You…and Thanks again Dottie!! and the Mosses for allowing us such access.
Paula Higgins
Joyce, yes ITA about Zenny. Thank GOD for the news we received tonite. It took 10 years, but America got that personification of pure evil. We are a great country and a great people.
Anita in CA
Another honor well deserved for you, Sweetheart. Your Inspiration just keeps on going. Enjoy your wonderful May days at Lane’s End. Still loving you.
Maria K.
Congratulations Zennie. It’s wonderful that the pbwc recognized your accomplishments as an athlete. I saw your 60 Minutes segment. I enjoyed watching it. It brought back many great memories. I love you Queen Z. Hugs and kisses!
SR Vegas
Thank you for those who posted where to watch the “60 Minutes” segment un-interupted. Like many here on the West Coast, I got 8 minutes of Zenyatta (with interupted bylines and audio) and then 15 minutes of the “breaking news”. I would rathered had Zenyatta, and read about the ‘other’ news in the paper tomorrow. Oh well !
Kathy Kimber
Good Morning Beautiful Lady, Such a nice piece on you and no footage of you is ever old. You are so lovely. Have a great day.
Max
@Cindy at LA. Frankel may be European bred but his bloodline also has Northern Dancer in both his sire and dam line. As Donna first
pointed put, Frankel runs like another Dancer offspring, the great Nijinsky. You can see the gutsy determination of the little Dancer in him down to his little white socks. Frankel is called a freak by some English commentators because he is so good. Naturally like Z, the naysayers are questioning his ability to take the English Triple Crown. I hope that they are wrong. Go Frankel.
I agree with you about Stay Thirsty. I like Bernie’s boy.

The piece on 60 Minutes about you was great. It definitely showed your charisma, talent, and heart. It’s really not a surprise that the PBWC is talking about you at the conference. Keep on rockin!
Cindy from LA
@Max
Thanks for pointing out the lineage to Northern
Dancer. I guess most of the TB are mixed European
And American. I agree Frankel is sooo talented. Hope
He takes the European Derby and comes here for
The BCC !!!! Folks always doubt the great talent.
Janet Orser
LOVED seeing you on 60 Minutes once again!! Wish the clip were longer and they showed more of your current retirement life! Sure do miss watching you race, Z…..no other horse like you! Hope you have a baby someday soon too; that would be thrilling! Enjoy your retirement! Love from Canada!
Shari Voltz
Dear Zenyatta Good morning from rainy Ohio. I hope you have a SUPER day. You looked so beautiful on TV. I agree with Paula about the 2010 BC race. I think God planned it the way it came out to show the world how absolutely talented you are. To come from behind and cover that much distance only proved to everyone that you are SPECIAL. We all knew it now the doubters did too. I find it hard to put in to words your ability. I pray you pass that on to your baby. Another little Zenyatta in the world would be Great!! We love you Queen Z from Shari and Homeroom 215 XXXOOO
@Trina the children said thank you :)
