Good Morning,
HAPPY KENTUCKY OAKS DAY! What a special day! In our camp, we are CHEERING ON ZAZU! Look…even the fans LOVE Z’s! They are putting the initial Z on their front door! John just had to take this photo when he saw it!
ZAZU is in Post 6 in a field that is carded with a total of 13 horses. She will be right in the middle of the field when standing in the gate. With her running style, which is a bit like mine coming from off the pace, this is a very good post. Her jockey, Joel Rosario, knows her well and will hopefully get her in the perfect position at the start, let her drop back just enough and then finish strong. (Sounds GREAT to ME!)
We will all be wearing some PINK today as well. Churchill Downs has the fundraising for cancer awareness on Oaks Day! What a great, great idea to help with cancer research.
Zazu’s jockey will also be wearing pink…as OUR SILKS are pink and green!
LET’S GO ZAZU! You know I will be cheering you on!
With Love,
Hugs to All~
Z

Time to shine, angel face! It looks like the progeny of Tapit are on their way to a really big day! You have two magic “Zs” in your name, and you carry our prayers and best hopes for a safe and successful journey, as well as Joel Rosario, on your back. We know that these will not weigh you down, but will lift you up! You can do it! Take heart in the courageous come-from-behind victory of Blind Luck a few hours earlier. She was last year’s Oaks winner. May you follow in her hoofprints!

Oh no Zennie, Uncle Mo has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby. Hope he feels better soon. Good Luck to Zazu!!!! So Big Z, who do you like in the Derby? Actually, I should ask you who you think will win. I know you like them all. lol.
Gloria
Good luck with Zazu, Big Mama Z! I hope she does well. I also love Joyful Victory. How about that exacta!? I also have a shirt on today featuring you as HOTY with your silks, so I am also wearing a bit of pink today. Hope everyone has a great Derby/Oaks weekend!!
Heather Culross
GO MIKE AND ZAZU!!! I love that you are wearing pink and showing support for a cause at the races! I am a Survivor myself and a race fan, so I think it is way cool they are doing this.

Go, Zazu! Two Tapit girls out there today… Most important, everyone come home safe, today and tomorrow. Zen, you just make my day, and I love you.
Lynn Martin
I, too, will be cheering for Zazu! I also like Plum Pretty. For the Derby, I am going for Soldat, Archarcharch and (I just love the name!) Pants on Fire!!! Stay Thirsty, too, being Bernie’s son! Take care, Zen, and I am waiting eagerly for news from your team about “that topic we will not discuss yet”.
Especially Horses
@DJ. Loved you comment from post #239…..Stay Thirsty….now why didn’t I think of that? LOL.
Go ZAZU! I have always been partial to the greys. Looks like we’ve got a horse race with Zazu and Joyful Victory. Hail the Greys!

Hi Zenny, we will be cheering for Zazu and hope she stays safe. I’m sure you get excited over the races especially when the horse is owned by the Moss’s. I would be excited if you were racing,even if you just showed up on the grounds there would be great crowds there just to see you. You are loved alot. Have a great weekend with your family, will be waiting for pictures. Love you Zenyatta.
Kimberly Potter
Good luck Zazu and Joyful Victory!!! I pray all the horses come home safe today and tomorrow…and always!
Soory to hear Uncle Mo is out of the Derby, but appreciate his connections doing what is right for him. He has a great career ahead of him.
@Everyone~ Enjoy the races & Good luck with your horses….
I Love You with ALL my heart Zenyatta…
Your #1 fan in Montana!!!!
