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~

Mr. Commons looks so cute taking a nap. And of course everyone asks about you, pretty girl… you are very much loved by lots and lots of people! I hope all 14 horses come home safe and sound tomorrow and just have fun racing each other – that’s all that matters to me.

The picture of Mr. Commons is sweet. Good luck to him in the Preakness! Zenny we will always remember you and wish the best for you. Love you always Zenny! Wishing for you big bunches of carrots! XOXOXO

Zenny:
I tell everyone I’m a Zenyatta “groupie”. I think it’s a little silly to write to a horse as if SHE is writing her own Facebook messages, but who cares?! Racing is not the same with out you. We have all shared a part of history being your fans and when a movie is made about your life, you will be know as the greatest mare of all times. Can’t wait to visit you.
XOXOXO

Ask about you? We not only ask about you any chance we get, we think about you always in the most wonderful thrilling ways. We miss you and relish your diaries.i think the WHOLE racing world has changed because of you — I was at the Derby and already i can feel the difference you have made and continue to make.

My Sweet Lady Zenyatta, I just wanted to add to my posting above. Zenyatta,you will always be thought about and asked about! YOU are so Special! I believe that YOU will always be thought of and asked about till the “stars fall from the sky”. That’s a long, long time. Zenyatta, you are that one in a million horse that has meant so much to so many people that you will be forever remembered. Zenyatta,you have earned a title of a Superhorse for being a superior athlete and for the making connections with the racing & nonracing world. Just remember you will always be loved by so many. I know I sure do love you, Sweet Lady Zenyatta. As before,Hugs & Kisses With Love, Amanda G

Dearest, Zenyatta. Hi, Zenny. So happy to see Mr. Commons relaxing before his big day. How exciting!! Isn’t it wonderful that everyone is asking about you. We all love you so much!!!! I think Steve Haskins has a crush actually! TOO CUTE!! Will look forward to seeing the video with Dottie. Glad the weather is holding and there will be sun for the Preakness. With you and Dottie as our reporting team, it feels almost like we are there. Thanks so much to you both. Best of luck to Mr. Commons and John, most of all prayers for a safe trip for every horse and rider. I need to catch up with a few of my Z friends, so will try to post again soon. Sweet dreams. Hugs and kisses. XXXOOO

Dear Zenny – What a CUTE picture of Mr. Commons. I hope he is resting up for a big win. Zenny, of course everyone would ask about you. You are TOO CUTE and very sweet. Love you beautiful girl. xoxoxo
Trina Nagele
Good morning, Queen Z. Of course people ask about YOU. We all LOVE you.
Re #252:
@Janice—What a lovely, caring person you are to have said a prayer for every horse you groomed as they headed to the starting gate. It does my heart good to hear it. Thanks for sharing.
@DJ—Loved your banter about the Black-Eyed Susan drink, with the fillip that the proposed one wouldn’t be for you because you’re “notafanofgin” and the caution about possible side effects of the deceptively strong original recipe! Too cute!

Mr C looks so comfy laying there in the straw Makes you kinda want to join him
Alexandra Bowdoin
Dear Z, of course people keep asking about you!! We love you!! I wish all horses safe trips tomorrow and every day while out on the race track!!!
Brenda
Zenny, How could anybody meet any member of Team Z and not ask about you? Not only are you TOO CUTE but you have the most amazing personality. I hope Mr. Commons is getting lots of rest before tomorrow. I wonder, does he like Guinness? It would have been nice if he had drawn a better post position but I’m sure that John has a plan ready to overcome that little setback. Hooves, fingers and toes are crossed for him and also for Mike but the most important thing is that they have a safe trip. As usual, LOVE from Fort Erie.

What a cute photo of Mr.Commons! I hope he does well tomorrow, and they all come back safe and sound! Love ya, Zenny!!

Ms Zenyatta, you are surprised people ask about you, Too Cute. Everybody, I mean everybody knows you, rather they are RH fans or not…YOU ARE #1.
Mr Commons looks cute, he needs to rest..so he looked at all the large tents and had a good time..good for him. He will be fine, somebody wrote earlier about 7 2 times regarding the post, I agree….7 is my lucky number…Talk with you later, sweet girl..I love you…Lisa g.

Zenny, I just watched the clip with your Dottie and John talking to Steve. Dottie speaks so eloquently about you! And last week at Hollywood Park John graciously let me see Mr. Commons. (And your half sis!)Happy Preakness Day, Queen Z!
Lisa g
@Ann Maree, you are such a lucky girl.
Sharon Call
@sue. Just a little confusion here. Dottie writes Z’s diary. Ann Maree posts replies here and also on facebook.
Savvy
Zenyatta, hope you got to see Mr. Commons’workout video on Thoroughbred Times website. Oh, how I miss watching you race. Enjoy your retirement.
Sarah Powell
Love the pic of Mr. Commons – hooves crossed for him tomorrow. Zenny, people will always ask about you and want to see pictures of you – sometimes I don’t think you (or even your family) realize just how special you are to so many people!
@ Betty – my friend had a horse that took a nap every day at 11:00 am and snored so loud that you could hear him all through the barn! He would sleep for about 30 minutes then up for a snack of hay! Too cute! (thanks Dottie)
Debbie

Dear Zenny: Funny girl-OF COURSE people ask about you! You are one in a million!Forgetting you would be like forgetting Man O’War or Secretariat-impossible. I’m glad Mr.Commons is resting well. I am pulling for him to have a good race tomorrow. Those big tents would be enough to scare anyone!I hope you and The Girls are having a great day<3
