Good Morning!
I must say…I AM SO PROUD AND SO EXCITED! I truly believe that ALL OF YOU, your love, your support, your enthusiasm for ME and MY SPORT have helped to make this possible!
I’m hosting a BIG PARTY and ALL OF YOU are invited!
For the last 3 years, BREEDERS’ CUP has truly been a huge part of my life. It has been a focal point in my career each season. So thanks to ALL OF YOU and the powers that BE…this year I am still going to be completely involved with Breeders’ Cup and the activities…but in a different role than ever before.
I am the OFFICIAL HOSTESS at the INAUGURAL ZENYATTA CELEBRATION
to ‘kick off’ The Breeders’ Cup Weekend Festivities.
Can you imagine this! ME, ZENYATTA, hosting a party at Breeders’ Cup!
I truly hope you can attend!
This has never been done before in RACING. (Blush, Blush!) I am able to invite my fans to come and join ME to celebrate this BIG DAY, Friday, November 4th, at the Kentucky Derby Museum adjacent to Churchill Downs. My Team will be there to join in this celebration by sharing some of our fun experiences, visiting with ALL of you, and signing autographs.
We will have a lovely buffet, my races will be playing, there will be live entertainment, we’ll have many fun products for you to see, and so much more.Breeders’ Cup will even provide the first 500 Z party-goers complimentary seating for Friday’s races. This way YOU can sit together and share in this fabulous day! I think we should call this the Z SECTION!
What is even more special…is I will be there too with ALL OF YOU…via LIVE VIDEO FEED from LANE’S END…to participate in the celebration. Tasty will be joining ME! We don’t want to miss a moment of this memorable occasion!
I simply can’t wait! I will be at Churchill Downs again…with ALL OF YOU…to enjoy great racing, MY PARTY, and share in all of the wonderful times and memories we have experienced during the last 3 plus years at Breeders’ Cup.
Breeders’ Cup has been so gracious. They have granted ME the opportunity to announce this to ALL OF YOU first before they release MY PARTY news to the public next Tuesday. They know how much I adore ALL OF YOU and SO APPRECIATE the relationships we have shared during my career!
LUCKY ME!

Good morning, Z friends! So much happiness posted all above! I wish we could ALL go to the BC- I’m still not sure but I guess I better figure it out soon! Does anyone know if the first 500 reservations have been made already??
@suew, Marty R and Trina: Thank you <3
@Kari B: I SO hope to go and would LOVE to meet you, too! And as another painfully shy person, maybe between you and I, we could just say every other word-haha (only slightly kidding!).I will contact you by FB message when I know for sure if I'm going. I know I'll never be closer to Team Z and Dumplings than this BC, so I am going to try to make it happen. Thank you for your happiness about Chester and Chopper! <3
@Terry Crow: I am so HONORED- PRESIDENT?? It was the hay in the car, wasn't it? I haven't read the last posts from yesterday, so I'll have to catch up! Chester will be the best honorary member we'll ever have! Funny jokes above!
@Abigail: Left you comment about your beautiful tribute to Jericho.
@Jag: Thanks for update on Better Talk Now- good news!!
@Gary Moulton: Liked your poem!
@ALL: Loved all your posts and appreciate the links- looking forward to JGC.
@Kim S: Thanks for info from Marlene! How is William?
@Judy B: Will email you later! <3

Dear Zenyatta what a Great idea. I am not sure if I can go but Dawn and I talked about it on the phone. I would love to meet the team and see you on the Big screen. I am so blessed just to be in your circle and be invited. Today in class we are having a Mistletoe party. I bought Dilly Bars and doughnuts for the children. They do know who you are sweet girl. I still talk about you and Mike. We played a game and had teams. Each team’s name was a famous horse’s name. Yes one of my teams was the Zenyatta team. I just wanted to say I will love you forever. Hugs and Kisses, Shari XXXOOO

Some comments on Zenyatta.

OMG! Heard rumors via SignoftheTimes, etc. that Vertigineux and Street Cry had been bred, but today I found a DRF article that confirmed it. Guess I’m late to the party. Anyway, does anyone know the due date? Just think, maybe her foal and Zenyatta’s will compete. How cool is that. When I visited Darley a few weeks ago, they would not answer the question for privacy reasons and I commend them for keeping the big secret. Oh, how exciting!!
Trina Nagele
@Sally B—How great you’re sending a donation to Valley View Ranch Equine Rescue. You’ll see that Jeanie confirmed above that you have the correct address. High hoof!
Cat
Dottie / John, could you post a picture of a pregnant Vertigineux? Wouldn’t that be great if Zenyatta and her mom had their babies on the same date. Wow!
Sarah T.
Oh Zen, that’s so cool and sweet of your people to do! After the way you just dominated last year’s Cup and getting to meet you there the morning after, I knew I’d still have fun but also knew I’d miss you lots. That is so exciting! And your people are so nice to do this. Wow!

Hey, let’s party, is right!!
For you to be the hostess is perfect, “Z”
i know you’ll dance a little and that’s worth standing in the hot sun and waiting and waiting until you get there. I’ll be early so I can get a good place to watch you! I might get a hug and kiss. You think?
Pam
What a fabulous idea!! You and your team are the best!! I hope everyone takes lots of pictures and videos and shares them those of us who live too far away to make it to Churchill Downs.
Thank you to the Team for always thinking of Z’s fans.
Zenny – you look so beautiful and content in today’s picture. Perfection, that’s what you are.
Have a spectacular weekend. Take care of yourself and tell TT that I’m sending my love to my two favorite girls.
JAG from California :-)

@Abaigal and Barbara Woods; left a note to you on post 346

thanks for update on Mike and races this weekend but I still wonder why he’s not getting the big stakes races anymore. He did ride up in canada at woodbine in a stakes but I tend to wonder about the other big races–haven’t heard if he’s even got a mount in the breeders cup races. Last few years he has always been seen in the bigger races but not so much this year–hoping everything is okay with him
Alex
Is there any way you can post a video of that party to the internet? My family lost our house in May, and there is just no way we could afford to go see you. But I want to see it!
Maribel
OOOoooooo Zenny that is such a FABULOUS IDEA ! Breeders Cup would have been so lonely without YOU .Wish I could attend ? I know someone will take lots of pictures .You look AMAZING ! HUGs love you so much ..thank you for thinking of us all XOXOXO
Emily
Oh, my sweet and beautiful Zenyatta what a wonderful opportunity. I wish I could be there in person, but be sure I will be there in spirit with you and the other zfans. You’re a First Class Act in everyway. Stay well and happy my precious. Love you always.
Tiffany Vaughn
I wish I could go! :( I never have enough money to attend the breeders cup, but this would be extra special! I wish I could be there!
Ruth Cazares
Would love to have a “Z” party in California too. Would that be possible?
Deneen
The Zenyatta Celebration is going to be so exciting for everyone . . . what a great idea!! I wish I could go but I have a family member who his having surgery that day. I have never had the opportunity to see a live horse race and the Breeders Cup is definitely on my bucket list. Hope to be able to visit there one day soon. I love you Zenyatta . . . take care of Lil Z. Sending hugs and nose kisses your way.
MARY
I SURE HOPE YOU DO THIS AT SANTA ANITA IN 2012 SO WE CAN SEE YOU AGAIN.

Fantastic promotion. This will really get the crowd to the BC. Everyone would love to see you!!!
