Happy Friday to All,
As you know, Dottie and John are at Pimlico for the Preakness with Mr. Commons. I gather he is being one terrific guy. He trained nicely this morning and got a chance to see all of the surroundings. They have large tents up in the infield, and he looked at all of them. It was nice for him to get to see ALL OF IT and get used to this different type of infield environment. Later this afternoon, he will school and visit the paddock as well. So many things to learn, to do, and to accomplish! I remember it well!
In addition to all of the things going on with the Preakness, Dottie told ME that no matter where she and John went….. PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT ME! ME….now isn’t that TOO CUTE! I am so flattered! They wanted to know how I’m doing, how much I love my life now….and of course, the big question, how much have Bernie and I been dating.? Katherine and Carol asked John and Dottie for a photo op with them….which, of course, they did! Steve Haskins asked them to do a video clip…..and guess who he mentioned to Dottie? ME! They also met Ann Maree, who often writes responses in my Diary. All of this is so special and such fun.
The weather has been very pleasant so far and tomorrow, Preakness Day, is supposed to be beautiful! So, HOOVES CROSSED for a great RACE DAY!
WOW! People are asking about ME! This statement has such a nice RING TO IT! Thank you so much for BEING SO THOUGHTFUL and caring!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

The hopeful racing fan in me has to pull for Animal Kingdom for the Preakness… Some day we’ll see a Triple Crown winner again. Maybe it will be this year. **shrugs**
Happy you are doing well Z.

Hi, Z-girl! I wish the Ann Maree you talked about was me! Unfortunately, I am not able to attend the Preakness, but will be there in spirit to say the least! HOOVES CROSSED as you always say that Mr. Commons does good, and also, that your date with Bernie will turn up some great news for all of us soon. Big, big hugs. Your friend, Ann Maree
Kira
I’m glad Mr. Commons is doing well! Of course people are going to ask about you, nobody has forgotten you, and I doubt they ever will! Hope you have a great day tomorrow and good luck to Mr. Commons!

You are so cute, Z…I wish Mr. Commons the best tomorrow..tough post position, however he can still come through.

P.S. I do remember how kind your John was to me when I traveled last November to see you prior to the BCC10. Literally ran into him in the paddock area at Churchill Downs when you were schooling there and there were hundreds of people. I had not chance to get close to you, except along comes John, and I grabbed his arm and introduced myself. He promptly took us inside the paddock area where I stood 15 feet from you taking pictures and just standing in awe at being that close to you. So, thank John for me for giving me the gift of seeing you up close in person. One of these days, I hope to be able to kiss your sweet nose and hug you, but for now, my memory of that time is very special. Your friend, Ann Maree

Really like the picture of Mr. Commons. Good Luck to him. Thanks as always for sharing. Zenyatta, I am not surprised to hear that people are asking about you. You have truly touched so many. You are a beautiful soul. Wishing you days full of sunshine, carrots and peppermints. XOXO
Roberta Smith
Zenyatta….people will be asking about you until the day the world ends…which will NOT be May 21, 2011! You are the greatest of the greatest! I love you!
Kathy B.
I’ll be rooting for Mr. Commons and also Mike on Astrology! Going to Hollywood Park tomorrow to watch it! Z I have pictures of you all over my house…my favorite is the one Steve took of me standing with you down at Barn 55. You’re the best!
Misty
I pull for any of the Moss’s horses…they love them so much and they love them so much! And best of all, they share Zenyatta with all of us! <3

Zenyatta, you will always be on everyone’s mind. Your fans love you and will always be concerned about your wellfare. There is not another like you.
We LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!
Love hugs and kisses

Zenyatta, you will always be in my heart. Besides having great owners and a wonderful trainer and jockey you have all of us adoring fans. You will never be forgotten. You will not become an Alydar. Love Ya sooooo much.
Shannon From Cool
People ask about YOU because YOU are the best thing that ever happened to Thoroughbred Racing. EVERYONE LOVES YOU, ZENYATTA. Hope you are having a great day even though YOU are away from the spotlight.

Not ever owning a horse.. ??? Some say they all sleep standing up? I guess not? even the picture of the 4 “girls” they were all on the ground. So? they do sleep on the ground?

Hi Zenny girlfriend!!!
Yes, it looks like MR. COMMONS is getting his ZZZZZZZZZZZs!! ;-) ;-) Best of luck to him, and to Mikey, who rides ASTROLOGY!

Zenny! I still talk about you to total strangers whenever I get the chance LOL. They love me at the framing story ~ can’t imagine why with all the stuff I’ve taken in there to be framed of YOU! :-)

Mr. Commons is too cute! Safe trip and good luck to him and all the others tomorrow! Can’t wait. Zenny, hope you made your bet and are wearing your Fascinator. It would suit you:) Have fun with your gals today, sweet one!

@Betty: “Not ever owning a horse.. ??? Some say they all sleep standing up? I guess not? even the picture of the 4 “girls” they were all on the ground. So? they do sleep on the ground?”
Yes, horses will sleep on the ground, not for long, but they do sleep laying down :-)
Terry
We will always be thinking about you, Z! And it’s not because you won 19 straight or won the Breeders Cup. It’s because of your gentle and kind nature, which has changed the face of Thoroughbred racing.

My Sweet Lady Zenyatta, What a wonderful photo of Mr.Commons. He is such a good looking horse. Looks like he is enjoying himself too. I love seeing the resting photos,it makes me feel like I’m peeking around the corner & watching him. Reminds me of the one they had of you in your stall on this Post site. I remember Life Is Sweet’s video of John trying to wake her up to get to work. I laughed so hard at how she just didn’t want to get up & go to work. Those are such good memories. Tell Dottie “Thanks for sharing them.” I’m pulling for Mr. Commons to do well in The Preakness! I know after he sees everything he will be ready to do his best after John continues to talk to Mr. Commons and will have him ready to race just like he use to talk to you. I’m so looking forward to the race. I love you, Zenyatta. I put my tag “Zyatta” on my car. That’s all the letters I could fit on my UA tag. Looks GREAT! I’ll send you a photo! Sending Hugs & Kisses To You From Alabama With Love, Amanda G.

I will be pulling for Mr. C to do well, but with things I wil be also pulling for AK to go on to win the triple crown, but if not to be then with out a doubt it would be Mr. C to win. I love the photo. And Z you will always be on peoples mind, I know you had seen Bernie last month were all just wating for the word. Love ya Z
Tressia
The Tripple Crown is just sooooo exciting to watch. I would like to see a tripple crown winner but I would so like John’s horse to win just because John and Dottie are such nice people….Go Mr. Commons! I get so happy seeing a new post every day, I am a Z-girl junkie for sure.
Lynette Lucas
Zenny – I’m glad that Mr. Commons had a good training this morning!! I’m not surprised people ask about because you are the greatest horse ever!!! That is why I look forward to reading your posts everyday!! Love you!! Hugs and Kisses from Roswell,NM!
Betty
Thank you Judy

Love this pic of Mr. Commons snoozing with his nose in the straw. I’m glad he’s getting his rest and is comfortable enough to sleep. But then, what else could we expect from a horse that John trains – he knows how important it is to keep them “happy”. I’m still torn between Mr. Commons, Mucho Macho Man and Astrology. Above all else, my greatest wish is that they all come home safe, sound and healthy.
Z Girl – don’t you know that you won’t ever be forgotten? Ever? You have entered the ranks of one of the “Greats” of horse racing history and your name will go on for decades. It’s not just your track record, it’s the effect you have had on racing in general with the help, encouragement and good values of your owners, trainer and all of Team Z, both in CA and KY.
Carol
We’re pulling, like others who wrote above, for Mr. Commons — the Mosses have done so much for racing, and the way that all the staff and team work together, care for the fans, and the horses — well, it doesn’t get any better than that. May you have lots of great racing babies, Zenny! and Hooves Crossed for Mr. Commons tomorrow!!!
