Hello Everyone,
I have been one very busy girl of late. In addition to my normal activities each day at the farm, I have recently hosted a few visitors. Last Friday, Jim Rome, who nationally hosts several sports talk programs on radio and television, happened to be in Lexington on business. One of his stops was at Lane’s End Farm.
The cute part is that he asked if he could visit ME!
While we were spending a bit of time together, Jim ‘tweeted’ to his fans…”I’m here, kicking it with THE QUEEN.”
I must say, Jim was also very, very kind in his comments about ME. He is a great fan of racing and is a big supporter of our sport! When someone commented that I was the 2010 HORSE OF THE YEAR….he quickly responded that in his mind I was HOTY more than just one year.
What a guy! I am extremely flattered! (Blush, Blush!)
It is truly a great feeling in life when you hear that your hard work and efforts are respected, appreciated, and recognized by others. His kind words really made ME feel so proud and very special!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Looking good Zen! I am enjoying all your informative posts. I send them daily to my mom who does not have a computer and she is having fun, too. We eagerly await the updates on your conditino and wonder when the first baby shower will be…. what does one give a foal??? Crochet halter…. Enjoy your day, Miss Z.

Z…you’re looking SO rested and happy. I know horses have a memory but I think maybe you’re not missing the performing days so much anymore. Take care, sweetie.

Where is everyone today? Getting ready for the Fourth, I imagine. Sure hope they don’t shoot off any fireworks near the farms. I’m sure there would be some spooked horses! Zenny, now i have TWO hero’s. You and Secretariat! Wonder what kind of baby you two would have made, would Tb.s allow IA and save semen??

Good Morning,Beautiful Queen!!! I must say that Jim Rome is surely right about your being the the HOTY more than once!! You truly are a horse for the ages and will be treasured forever!!
I have been so busy with a little remodeling project at home,not to mention work,that I have not posted for a few days. I have been reading your posts every day–and LOVING the incredible pictures you and Dottie have been sharing with us!!It is so wonderful getting a glimpse into your daily life and realizing what marvelous and caring folks are getting to interact with you!! You can never doubt for a minute how much you are loved!!
Was so sorry to read of the tornado damage at Churchill Downs–how miraculous that all came through OK!!
Was also so sad to hear about little Frankie–I’m sure she DID have some of the “greats” to meet her at the Rainbow Bridge after her gallant fight. It’s wonderful that she had loving care and knew that she was loved before she left us.
Am several days behind on all the replys to your last few messages so will answer again when I catch up. ! Dawn Conrad–Hope all is going well with you!!
@ Susan in TN-I wrote an e-mail to your rescue after I sent my contribution voting for a foal name and mentioning how much I believed you have helped them by sharing news of Rootbeer and all. I imagine that their donations have gone up considerably due to the posters here. I plan to send another donation soon!
Zenny,have a lovely day with the sun on your back and a soft breeze to ruffle your mane!!

Hi Zen,
When I feel down I look at your photos, read the articles and watch you on the tube. I feel better right away. One question do you still dance on your trips out to the field. I know it might be a modified step but I hope you still grove. You are a QUEEN HOTY for sure. Everyone loves you

@Pamela Hill. No, the Jockey Club does not allow IA. Has to be a live cover that is viewed by farm employees and representatives of the owner of the mare.
Sue Noel
Oooops!! I DO know how to spell replies!! Sorry!!
