To all my dear, loving fans,
I want to THANK all of you for your support, encouragement and love.
I gave it a good GO in the Breeders’ Cup Classic…and tried my best! I’m home now at my Hollywood Park Barn. The flight back to California was great. My friends, Mario, Frank and Harmonious, traveled on the plane with me. It was a smooth trip!
The last week has been exciting and thrilling! I had a great time in KY and everyone was so kind to me. I posed for hundreds and hundreds of photos yesterday alone with so many fabulous fans. They brought me Z cakes, apples, peppermints, and carrots. They hugged me, kissed me, and made me feel so special. I am one lucky mare.
Then when I got back to the barn there was a great WELCOME HOME ZENYATTA sign hanging at the barn. People signed it with such sweet messages for me! Everyone makes me feel so special.
Today, I’ll walk and relax a bit and, of course, GRAZE! LUCKY ME!
Hugs to all…and again…THANKS TO ALL OF YOU for being so loving and supportive of me and all of TEAM ZENYATTA.
With great appreciation…
Love,
Z

To the Lovely Miss Z,
You gave my mother (69), daughter (13) and myself the memory of a life time. As a gift for my Mother’s birthday e traveled together to Churchill Downs to see you run. There we sat at my daughter’s first horse race. My mother had been lucky enough to watch Secretariat run and I’ve grown up going to many races. So, you coming to the Breeder’s Cup gave us the opportunity to introduce Kreigh to racing. We sat on that cold day with my child reading the tip sheets, her Grandma watching the odds and placing the bets, and I just watched a lifetime memory unfold. After your race I actually think I could feel my heart breaking. I knew that what we’d just been a part of was the most incredible event that we, 3 generations of women would ever share. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Zenyatta; I am so happy you are having fun with everyone who adores you. Your owners, the Moss’s, John your trainer and Mike Smith were ever so gracious as to let us know you and love you so much!! I just want to be with you even for only a minute or two, so I can tell you how amazing you are, how I loved the thrilling ride with you to your greatness, your personality and dancing, and that I love you; one of a kind, the greatest horse I will see in my lifetime.

WoW Zenyatta you are the BEST. Ever since I was 14 yrs old and my retired race horse ran away with me(’53) laying over the saddle ( he took off as I mounted ) with a 1 mile long, wide, empty dirt road ahead, I have loved horse racing, from the Black Stallion books to a colt my mare had, a great grandson of Man O War. To watching you on TV & all the Great
‘ones’ in between…..You Miss Queen Z are the very best and I along with thousands
will call You HORSE OF ALL TIME. Thank you to the Moss’s, John, Mario and Mike of course. I don’t gamble but love the races for the horses. I know God has a reason for everything and a plan for you and all the team, so I’ll keep you and them all in my prayers and look forward to that plan to unfold and hopefully we( all you fans) will be able to see how much greater you can be, what ever you do, be safe and happy and God Bless( because you already have God Speed! I love you Zenyatta and Company.

I have been blessed to witness some great race horses including Secretariat and Genuine Risk, two of my favorites. But, of all the great horses and all the great races, I have enjoyed you, Zenyatta, the most. Thank you Zenyatta, Mike Smith, John Sherrifs, and the Moss family for all the excitement and another great memory. Congratulations to you all. And thank you for the memory.
