Good Morning,
A great deal of excitement took place again last evening at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale. MY BERNIE had another successful evening with colts he sired selling for $1,200,000….750,000….725,000. He sired a filly which sold for $500,000. Things are truly looking terrific for MY GUY!
Earlier in the day during training hours, Uncle Mo breezed on the Oklahoma Training Track. Saratoga has 2 really nice tracks for the horses to train on each day: the main track and then the Oklahoma Training Track which is very close to the barn area.
In the above photo, Uncle Mo is going out for this breeze. From all reports, he really looked terrific going the 5 furlongs in a ‘bullet’ 100.22. A ‘bullet’, in reference to workout times, means it is the fastest recorded time that morning for a particular distance.
Mo’s camp feels he is really making wonderful progress in his training. It is quite exciting as he looks to be on target to run in The King’s Bishop… August 27th. Hooves crossed for Uncle Mo! Keep up the great work!
On another note, today is the birthday of 2 members of MY TEAM: Dottie and Mikie Smith. I think this is just TOO CUTE that they are both LEOS and born on August 10th.
My warmest wishes for them both to have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Dear Zenny,
Thanks for the pic of Uncle Mo. Hopefully he has recovered and will run in the Kings Bishop. HOOVES CROSSED. YOUR GUY,
Bernie is sooo awesome. His “DAD’s” best boy. And your “DAD”
has some looker, too. Can’t wait to see the little one in the oven.
Keep cool, eat healthy and relax and enjoy the blue grass.
XXXXXXOOOOO

HUMMMM !!!! MIke Smith a LEO ?????
No wonder you and Chantal locked horns. Maybe picking a sweeter, kinder, thoughtful other directed woman would work.
Look at Dottie and John, the most wonderful couple along with the Mosses of course.
Happy Happy Happy B-day to Dottie and Mike (Hope you both had great dates tonight)

Dear KariB: Of all your videos [& I cross freeways to get to them] just found yours w/ Whitney grand on ‘A Song For You’ — ‘Z`s’ Apple Blossom-Oaklawn .. . especially since you ‘shared the footage at the very beginning . .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rggt4BnUUwE Zenny covered in dust/dirt (seconds) after her AB victory.’ ~ Your next remarks are worth the visit: that young lady, so full of herself, the whole scene: how I love this celebration of her! A 5-tier birthday cake! K.

Spent some time watching Rock Hart Ten video’s today.
He can cover a lot of ground and all most won the Preakness 2004 against Smarty Jones. Love those big boys, they cover a lot of ground in just a few strides and feel like riding on a pillow.
He is 17. 3 hands of Gorgeous stallion.

I KNOW how to garden! Could you use me around the barn somewhere?
Peggy (N)
@Mike Repole, I really like Santa Anita, but i do agree with you. I think we are being slighted here a bit on the East Coast. Nothing against S Anita, but after reading your article I do agree. Keep Talking. Go Uncle Mo. Peggy

Thank you Grace and Ann.

Anne from Paramount, CA
@Dottie, in Calif it is still YOUR bday, so sure hope you have had a wonderful one, right Queen Z?
@ Trina, will say again what the others have said…what a terrific Dumpling poem!! :)
@Cynthia H LOL & very smart, rhyming magnificent and significant–reminiscient of Cole Porter with the clever word twists! Like it!
@Terry Crow really LOL,LOL at that last one, thanks!
@ Z’s Mike, Hope your day too was a happy one!
@Kari B, I’m not certain, I’ll keep looking right now time is limited..THANKS!!! (I replayed the b/day one earlier. :)
@All, nice “chatting” with you…:)

Dear Judy Berube: Brooke writes in her e`mail they are receiving all those calls and contact over the internet — wonder how they got the numbers? Thinking people went online?? . .. ~ THE absolute dearest baby cheetah face! — never one cuter. ‘jb’-brand hugs, too. K.
Alene
Zenny,Bernie is,”The Man”. What a stud muffin. Your fillie or colt will be priceless.. Happy B-Day both to Dottie and Mike. I`ll wish Mike a happy b-day even though he beat Chantal in the match race of the EX`S… Hope you`re doing great mommy!!! God bless…Lots of Big Hugs and Kisses, Alene :-)
Barbara Wood
@Kari Bussell- I love the video. It looks like Zenny is trying her best to teach the pony horse to dance with her. I was there that day–too bad we didn’t know each other then.
@Charlotte Farmer–so true. I remember the big flap when they tried to build a shopping mall at Manassas. Hope it never got off the ground.
@All–love the dumpling motif. I can’t do much of anything, but maybe I could become a Dumplingmeister.
@Terry Crow–I always laugh out loud at your jokes.
@Kim S– I SO wish you could send some of that rain our way.
Dear Z–we have all had such fun today, and it’s all because of YOU and YOUR team headed up here by our Dottie. It’s been such a wonderful day. Love you always, precious girl.
Andrea
Happy B Days to Mike and Dottie! I am a Leo too! July 28th! Thank You, Z, for all the great info! I learn so much from you!
Barbara Grimaldi
DROPPING IN AGAIN…AND CATCHING UP. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOTTIE!!! WHAT YOU DO FOR ALL OF US IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART, ALWAYS. Maureen B, I guess that means I should not go to the Travers because I could not get a ticket? I am a railbird—don’t like seats—have to keep going back and forth to window and track. So do I need a ticket for General Admission, or is there no such thing there? Thanks very much for the info! MICHELLE: TVG doesn’t have the DVD…I’ll keep your link and keep hoping that Team Z will come out with a duded up DVD of everything Zenyatta! Does anyone know what happened to AP Indy’s colt at the auction? Hope he’s ok. JUDY B: thank you for telling me about Zenny’s candles—who runs that site? It’s lovely. LISA G: happy to say Mary J knows the alternate website and has visited already! Was surprised to read somewhere that the sheik owns Fasig-Tipton…if that’s true, could the owner of such a firm place options on certain young horses before the official bidding starts? I ask because I am curious about it. He is the same fellow who owns Bernie, yes? He has billions to burn—maybe he’d give us a billion to save horses? Does anyone know how Mrs. Sherriffs is? I hope she feels better. TRINA!!!! Super-cool poetry!!!! You are so caring and dear. DOREEN: thank you for the compliment but I’m going back to the drawing board to create a better version. The people here and the horses out there deserve the best I can give. KATHRYN C: I pulled up the site but could not find what you referred to. Was it something to support the cause we are discussing off this site?

Happy Birthday Dottie and Mike.
