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!

With Love,
Hugs to ALL~ (Let’s Party!)

Dear Signofthetimes:
Thanks for the links. Rooting for HDG, Stay Thirsty and Mo. Did you get to see the latest Blog from Barbara L. which I posted on Diary #345. Wonderful photos of so many “Sweeties”, but one I especially love is of Stay Thirsty. Hugs, JB
Elaine
Very cool, Z! You need to do this again next year when the Breeder’s Cup is at Santa Anita!! Come back to California with your baby to be the hostess!!
J Smith
Who doesn’t love a good party, and with you for a hostess, it’s a winner already.
Claire

Michelle Moore
Thanks @signofthetimes, I will let Lauryn know that she has had a response tomorrow as she has gone bed now as she is in school tomorrow, I will let her look Bernardini up tomorrow evening
Tatia
Yippee! I am SO excited I almost can’t stand it! I have tickets & will be there. We were already planning on coming to the track on Friday, but now it’s even better. Can’t wait to see you all!
LauraJ
@Abigail in Montreal, so sorry for the loss of your beloved canine buddy.
Janie (in L.A.)
Wow. The All-Day ticket is reasonably priced, but I wouldn’t be able to afford getting there and staying there… darn it. Plus I’ll have work issues around that time. But it sure would be great if you could have the same party next year at Santa Anita (site of your 2009 BC Classic win, of course) – at least that would be in my backyard!
SHERRY D. WV.
ZENYATTA, WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR TO TO SHARE. I WISH I COULD BE THERE TO SEE THE Z. FANS AND HAVE A GREAT TIME TOO. YOU AND THE TEAM ARE VERY, VERY KIND.. SHERRY D.
Fremont Jan
Wow, Zenyatta! You are looking incredibly beautiful, as always, and really getting big! Can’t wait to see what your baby is going to look like. Happy BC Day – wish I could go this year!
Pam
What a wonderful hostess you will be!!! Sorry I can’t be there. I new your announcement would be something spectacular!!!!! Hugs to you & your entire Team. Do you think you could have a video for us fans who can’t attend??
Diahann Perrin

Shanda Hooton
How exciting!!!! Dang it I wish I didn’t live so darn far away from you. I miss everything and my biggest wish is just to meet you one time (well at least one time hehe) I will someday..I don’t know how or when but someday I will: ) All the things I could be wishing for or dreaming about, YOU are it for me: ) Someday Z: ) This is so exciting and I bet there will be thousands of fans there to see just you and I will be here watching everything I can!! So exciting and you are so very very special..Now and Always: ) Love you!

I love having the chance to be kept informed on such a great Animal much less one or the best race horse ever for sure the greatest Racing mare in history. I think it is so kewl that you all write like Miss Z is telling us her thoughts. one question can you keep us informed how many months etc. until she will deliver her colt. Good luck Zenny may you have many many great children.
Linda
She doesn’t look that great to me. Of course she is really sun bleached. But she has lost so much muscle and fat around her tail head.

@Zenny and Teams Z: What a fabulous idea! I hope when all the Dumplings get together at BC2012 at Santa Anita there will be a 2nd Annual Zenyatta Celebration! I’ll be there! For this one – I’ll watch the video feed (with 90,000 of my best friends).
@ALL: If you are able to go – please wear your Z Dumpling Name Tags! If you are able to go, but don’t have one, contact me off-blog at diastu46@gmail.com
Leslie Simis
A well deserved tribute to you…Queen Z !!! Just as it should be !!! Love you Zennie !

Wish I could come. Party hearty!
Marty R
How exciting!! It’s a little too far from Colorado, but I know those who will be there will have a fabulous, memorable time.
This picture is just beautiful. It looks like the mowing job will hold until the snow falls.
Saturday will also be a busy, exciting time at Santa Anita for Barn 55 and for the Mosses racers. Super Saturday all over the country. Gotta love horseracing!!
Karen Randall
What a wonderful idea! How I wish I could go. I would drive all the way from upstate NY, but, sadly, I just don’t have the funds for the tickets.
Laura Rutkowski
Zenny, I wish I could, but $$ is tight. A client of Rhinebeck Equine is a HUGE fan of yours, though, so I’m going to let Bonnie know. Thank you for your continued love of your fans, because you are tops in my book. Love & Hugs, JP & Me
Kimberly Potter
My Beautiful Zenyatta~ What a Fabulous idea. You just never stop giving. How I wish I could be there for this celebration. Montana is a long way from Church Hill Downs. Like others have said, hope you will do the same thing next year for the 2012 BC at Santa Anita. I am saving my pennies for that!
Love you forever and Always~
Your #1 fan in Montana!
Barbara Wood
Dear Z and Dottie– what a marvelous thing to plan! We can’t thank you enough. YOUR TEAM is the very best!! This is one time I wish I weren’t stuck in TX and leaving for CO next week. I think it would break the budget, but if a miracle happens……
@signofthetimes–agree with you about Shack. He is adorable and gives his all. I hate to see him lose at the very end!
Debbie
What a great idea! I won’t be able to make it so have your team take lots of video and pictures!!! Much love to you.
Shema
Dear Zen, I’m crying!! This is such happy news for me! Now we won’t feel you’re missing from the celebrations and exciting racing. Oh, it’s such a marvelous idea. You and Tasty via video stream. I’m putting it in my calendar now!!!
Shema
LOVE THIS PHOTO TOO!
Linda M
WOW! Zenny, you and Dottie have outdone yourselves! Will keep you posted – George and I are going to see if we can make it – it will be one of those milestone Z-moments!! In the meantime, I have put this beautiful picture of you up as my wallpapaer for my 30″ monitor – so I can see you all the time :) Love you and thanks to Dottie and Team Z for keeping the Power of Zenyatta & Team Z alive!!

Dear Signofthetimes:
Thanks for the link. Shack’s going up against Wilburn (one of Bernie’s sons)who won an Allowance race at this distance, after being bumped twice; and Decisive Moment, who ran a good second to Animal Kingdom in the Vinery at 1 mile and 1/8 in March of this year. Caleb’s Posse also has a win at 1 mile and 1/16 in the Ohio Derby in June of this year. I’m disappointed too. I just hope Shack stays sound physically and mentally. Hugs, JB
Julie Anderson
How awesome that’s going to be! Unfortunately, like you Queen Z, I am pregnant and will be unable to travel to come see you. My due date is December 7th, and I am going to have a baby boy! My very first child, and last as I am at the ripe age of 42. LOL. Hopefully next time you have a party, it will be after you have your sweet baby and I will get to see you in person. Love and Hugs, Julie
