Good Morning,
We are really enjoying rather pleasant weather in Lexington these days. My pal, Tasty Temptation, and I were out in our paddock and suddenly we decided we would ‘scratch each other’s back’. As you can see, Mathea was there just at that moment and took the perfect photo of us. I scratched TT’s back…and she sweetly gave me a nice little back rub at the same time. I must say that she and I are really dear friends. We get along beautifully.
I know about TEAMWORK…as I have been part of a TEAM my entire racing career. Thus, I know how truly important it is to work together to achieve goals. It is so nice to have a friend there to help you out when needed.
With Love,
Hugs to All~

You’re looking wonderful Zenny – as are your wonderful pasture friends!! :):)
Barbara
I love the picture, I love the dapples and yes I truly love the ears. Zen when I had my horse, she would love it when I would come and gently rub her ears. I love you very much Zen. Im so happy that you have your dear friend with you to share those moments. Have a great day.
Cory Wellman
Now you have truly become a mare in the life of leisure!!!! LOVE IT!
Max
@Cynthia H. Well said. Would it not be great to live or work at Lane’s End where we could talk daily to Zenyatta and her equine companions? This is my idea of utopia like Swift.
@Zenyatta. Everything about you is perfection.
Kendra
Not enough adjectives to describe your beauty and personality. “Endearing” is the best one I can conjure up this morn. So glad you have a good friend. Take care.
Kit
Yes, Zenyatta, you still have the cutest dapples. Oh, I do hope that I can see you one day. Dottie, between pregnancies, is there a chance that we might get a glance?
I would fly to the ends of the earth to see her.
Pam Green
Queen Z who couldn’t love those ears! You and my girl Grace have the most beautiful ears and use them to the best of your abilities. Love to touch them on Grace as they are so soft. Glad you are enjoying your days in Kentucky Blue Grass. Now get lots of rest for that little one.
Barbara Wood
Goood afternoon, Z. You and TT are mighty fine girls. Our German Shepherd, Diasy Mae, has ears like you and dances too. We call her “Little Z”. Our CHesapeake Bay retriever, Charlie, is Big Brown. Thank you so much for the pictures. A perfect instance of teamwork.
@Marshall (girl’s name)–thank you for sharing your story on #329.
@Denise in AZ–please keep us posted on the job situation
@Barbara Grimaldi–hope you won’t mind my sharing this TOO CUTE link for all of our dog lovers. http://www.wimp.com/swimoutside. Hope it works.

Hi Zenny, those pics are darling! So cute! I’m glad you have such a dear friend and that you are happy and doing well.
Love to all,
Leslie

Oh Zen, your wonderful personality continues to bring me great joy. So glad that you have such a great pal and that your coat is, indeed, so beautiful……and I do love your ears! Stay happy and well.
Linda T
Thinking of you always Zenny, and i must say i always scratch my friends back and she mine, i think it’s a girl thing. I know we all wish we could scratch your back. You look fantastic as usual.
Katie Clawson
Zenny, you are truly TOO CUTE! Teamwork is a great thing! Especially in the racing business, as you know. I am very glad to see that you and TT are getting along so well!
By the way, you are looking fabulous Z! Every time I see a picture of you, your “baby bump” is bigger (and I mean that in the absolute best of ways!) You really are looking wonderful, as always <3
Love, Katie (future jockey)

That is such a cute picture of you Zenny. I love it when horses figure out that they can stand head to tail and swish flies out of each others’ faces, or scratch each others’ backs. I’m glad that you’re healthy and able to relax and enjoy life!
Susan in TN
@Arlene: Hope all is well!
@Margaret: Happy belated birthday!
@Anne from Paramount: Glad your back!
@Margie: Welcome back!
@Max: Yes, it IS a utopia, isn’t it?
@Marshall(GN): Enjoyed your post on 329-thanks for sharing!
@Anyone: When a horse posts an official work or breeze and it says “7/21”, for example, what does that indicate? 7th fastest out of 21 that day?? Thanks!

TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! WHAT A DARLING PIC!
AND YOUR DAPPLES AND COAT LOOK SO VERY
NICE ZENNY AND TT. YOU BOTH LOOK RELAXED
AND HAPPY. :) AH, THE LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER.
PEACE & BLESSINGS,
KATHY from SoCal xoxo
Trina Nagele
@Margaret, who yesterday told us that her birthday had been over the weekend:
An Inquiry
Was it Sat- or Sun-day?
I ask,
Margaret dear,
So that I’ll know
For next year
And can accomplish
My (self-appointed) task
Of a birthday poem for you.
We’re glad that your wish
Came true–
Because you love both those closers so,
You got a Forego
To go with your Zenny!
We hope your pleasures were many!
Happy belated birthday!
LauraJ
@Susan in TN, yes, 7th fastest out of 21 at that distance. The fastest work at a particular distance is called a “bullet” work. This is because on a race program, where the horse’s recent works are posted, the bullet work is prefaced with a bullet character (•). BTW, it’s not unusual for multiple horses to have the same workout time, so there can be multiple horses ranked the same.
LauraJ
@Zenyatta, you and TT are both lovely. How sweet of you to scratch each other’s backs. Where is your fly mask? She is wearing her accessory, but you are not.

Happy Tuesday, Zenny! What a great picture of you and your BF, TT. Good friends always help each other out and you two are proof of that. As for your ears, they are just another adorable part of you…we’d know them anywhere. Enjoy this gorgeous weather…cooler days are coming soon.
Cathy Marshall
Nice picture of you two! Enjoy the end of the Summer weather! Love ya!!
Maria McLeese
good to be you Zenyatta

For “Z” Friends who would like to share a Morning Prayer:
…………………………………
With hearts renewed by living faith,
We lift our thoughts in grateful prayer
To God our gracious Father,
Whose plan it was to make us His
That rescued us from darkness.
So rich God’s grace that we are called as
light to bear His glory.
Through Him in whom all fullness dwells,
We offer God our gift of self
In union with the Spirit.
Lord, God, Creator,
Give us strength to mold our hearts
in your true likeness,
Servants of our Good Father.
………………………….Jack May
Pat Beck
Can’t get enough of you, darling Z. Love you always!
Maryyette
Thanks for the wonderful pictures, it is an uplifting thing each day!
Love you, beautiful girl –
Suzanne Parent
How much wieght has Zen put on? Is there a baby bump yet?
Gloria Jeanne
Hi Zenny- I just love seeing you enjoying yourself. Please keep the photos and updates coming. It’s truly a wonderful part of my day to see you.
You and your Pal TT sure look healthy and happy!!!
Thanks
Terry Crow
Those pictures of Zenyatta and TT are far above my ability to add or detract. Truly speak for themselves.@Katie Clawson, future jockey-Always a pleasure to see you posting. @Anne from Paramount-Good to see you back and posting. @Kari Bussell-I always thought that the joke about the troops and Dale Earnhardt was one of the best I have. @Brenda S-I need some of those procedures, too.@Lil from KY-Thank you. @Debbie G and Marshall-You would have both liked Jim Arness and Peter Graves and they certainly would have liked you. Some celebrities prove to be somewhat less than what you expect. Not those two. @Susan in TN-Again, you would have loved those two guys. Ditto, Chester, Dennis Weaver. Those guys, Tom Selleck and Chuck Connors were the finest men that I met as part of my Wild West group. Here is s short one just for you–You might be a redneck if you consider re-runs of Hee Haw to be documentaries. I will post a joke later.
Margaret
@Thanks to Trina and Susan for the birthday wishes. I LOVED the poem!
That Z is a great shot. Guess you gotta learn about team work to get each others itchy spots that you can’t quite manage on your own.
Angie Martin
Lovely pic of you and TT. Enjoy the last days of summer!
