Good Morning,
Each year, the DRF (Daily Racing Form)…in book format…produces a complete recap of the prior year in racing. It is called the AMERICAN RACING MANUAL. The issue currently being released is recapping 2010…and it has ME on the cover. Now this is TOO CUTE!
This resource book is a very complete review of the prior racing year. All graded stakes charts for the year are included as well as the past performances for all horses who won a graded stakes. They also present a summary of every stakes race run in that calendar year with some extra statistical sections for the Triple Crown Races. A great deal of other information is presented to really keep racing fans up-to-speed on all of these topics as well as honoring many historical perspectives concerning our sport. It is truly very informative!
And…the fact that I’M on the cover…even makes it more special!
In reviewing other topics in the RACING FORM, I have to say MY TEAM and I love the photo Jay Hovdey used of ME in one of his current blogs. Jay wrote the words and those are his thoughts, however, the photo is of ME! MY TEAM and I are still laughing at my expression! I must explain. Jay took this photo one morning at BARN 55 when I was really enjoying a post workout bath with Mario and Carmen. I remember it well! Jay got this shot at that very moment when Mario was massaging my back and just touched that ‘perfect spot’. OH-H-H….it felt FABULOUS!
Enjoy!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Just another porfolio addition. You are so photogentic . How many covers have you in your portfolio now? I love the bath pic. It makes me laugh.
Have a great weekend and take care and enjoy the weather.
Love, hugs and kisses

I also forgot to congratulate you, Zenny, for your fabulous cover on ARM. I think I was so taken by your lovely photo that all else slipped my mind – lol. And as so many Z’ers have said, who else would they possibly put on the cover?!

The horses won a huge victory–spaying of mares is Geez, I can’t think of the words. Barbaric comes to mind. Think battlefield conditions. That kind of surgery is totally invasive. For one thing a mare that has a foal by her side would have to be checked to see if she’s in foal again. If so, she “could” be spayed under proper conditions (which I won’t go into here), but she has to be post 90 days pregnant–otherwise she’ll abort.
They will return colt foals along with their momma’s–so at some point they’ll reproduce again. At this point, I consider this the lesser of two evils.
They are also committed to having better monitoring for the advocates–meaning people like Laura Leigh won’t be kept a mile or more from the trap site.
Please call Marty at the above phone number for questions.

I would like to suggest two names for Zen’s offspring “ZENSATIONAL” or “ZENFABULOUS”

@Hernan, thank you for the information on Tiz Zoe, I cannot get all in the info here, I will have to wait till I get home. I can only read that she collapsed, I was hoping she did not pass away.

@Max, Thanks for the Filly Hat..Cute, but not Too Cute, for sure.

Pretty girl – of course you’re on the cover of the manual recapping 2010 – you’re the 2010 Horse of the Year! Have a happy weekend, sweetie pie.

@Margaret. I totally agree with you. I probably didn’t write my post correctly. Spaying a mare compared with gelding a stallion – well, there’s no comparison at all. I just wish the BLM would leave the mustangs alone altogether, but I know that’s not going to happen so gelding the stallions is definitely the lesser of the two evils. Sorry, I didn’t mean to mis-state my thoughts.

Zennie U are the GREATEST!! What a great picture too! You always make me smile! (or laugh, as in this case) Hugs to U. I love U Z! From L.A, as usual… :-)
Mary
Yes…that is just “too cute”….you just keep on touching our lives and us fans love it. Have a good weekend Z…. have fun eating for two. Hugs to you…
Edie Dickenson
Zenny! You are too much! Of course you’re on the cover! I just returned from my first big race (The Belmont)since the Breeders’ Cup. It was way more relaxing than the BC when I was thinking of you all the time. You mean the world to me, and I spent the entire week focusing on YOU! Love&Kisses, Edie

Hi Zenny, that pic is too cute!! I love your expression. Yes, a good massage will do that to you.
Congrats for being the cover girl on the 2011 American Racing Manual! You were the perfect choice.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Love to all,
Leslie
Paula
Zenyatta, I am longing to see some recent video of you! We miss you.
Debbie G
Hello my sweet Zenny. I LOVE that picture of you! It is TOO CUTE! I’m not the least bit surprised that you’re on the cover. You are a Cover Girl if I ever saw one! Loving you in Lexington :-)
@LauraJ – I took your suggestion. I’m going to Old Friends Sunday afternoon. I can’t wait! I’ll let you know how it was.
@Trina Nagele – I hope you have a good day at Hollywood Park tomorrow.
Barbara Wood
Zenny–Your ADORABILITY FACTOR just went up several notches. For me, there certainly has been a light gone out of racing since you left us. I still love the others, but the magic is greatly reduced. Love you always.

“Miss me yet guys?” More than you can possibly imagine! But what a ride you took us on! The ride of a lifetime!
Patty Smith
I agree with Paula…would love to see some current video of you enjoying the beautiful Kentucky bluegrass with a bit of a baby bump. Hope you are doing well you beautiful cover girl and I love the cute tongue pic! It really is TOO CUTE!! :-)
Pam Zacek,
Hey what a cute picture, so funny, Love the look, like wow, this is great, glad all is well, in your world, and hope you, are doing okay, havea great day,
Sharyn
So deserving of the cover spot – no other horse achieved what you did in 2010!! Cute picture too of you with your tongue hanging out – gotta love it!!

Dear Z Fans and Uncle Mo Fans:
Here’s an update on Mo from the DRF http://www.drf.com/news/uncle-mo-start-jogging-monday-winstar-farm He looks so good in the photo. Hugs, J.B.
Paula Higgins
Great picture on the cover Zenny!!!! As for “Do you miss me yet?” You bet we do. I think ALOT of people who never even knew they were going to miss you, miss you. As for lip chains, Alexandra is right. Depends on who is holding the chain and the size of the chain etc. Do any one of us think that Mario and John would ever do anything to hurt her? Not a chance. She’es 1200 pounds and you have to have some control when you’re out on the track with them.

Zenny you look simply stunning. Very provocative. Love the teeth and tongue. Looks like you`ve got something up your sleeve. Maybe even a stallion.. Anyway, you`re awesome!!!! I love you!!! Tongue,teeth and all. Lots of Hugs and Kisses Alene :-)
Linda
Cute picture!!!

Zenny…These pictures bring huge smiles…first because once again you are the ultimate cover girl and secondly you can give a goofy grin and still look stunningly beautiful. How your Barn 55 folks must miss you. I know I would if I had been in your company for over four years! The honors just keep coming and rightly so. YOU have brought racing back to the masses big time. Love and Hugs to our gorgeous Queen.
tony
Zenny…these photos show the various facets of your personality. One, the majestic Queen of racing, the other a real “ham” having a great time with her “peeps”. Thanks Dottie for sharing the photos. Keep them coming.
