Happy Friday!
I wanted to share with YOU some of the new experiences taking place in my life these days! Needless to say, Tasty and I are personally sharing all of these activities together! We are having SO MUCH FUN!
Yesterday, I was hand-walked around my new paddock. Matt was with ME every moment throughout the ‘new adventure’. All of this one-to-one time was given so I could have every opportunity to ‘check it all out’ and get completely acquainted with every inch of my new grazing areas and outdoor surroundings. It took some time, but I truly enjoyed every single moment! My dear pal, MATT, is so sweet and incredibly patient with ME. After completely touring my new paddock area, I must tell you…I was so happy…I BEGAN TO DANCE!!
I am such a FORTUNATE HORSE!
It was also a special time for ME when I was introduced to MY NEW STALL. I’ve heard it was freshly painted recently getting ready for ME. (Great job, guys! It looks fabulous!) I have an open area in the upper portion of my stall door so I can put my head out and see everything going on in the shed row. You know ME…I don’t want to miss a thing! Also, this is great news! When we are in our new barn, TASTY’s stall is located directly across from ME…just like always…so we can relax, visit, and have a wonderful time! We are the best of friends!
My new stall in the ‘foaling barn’ is rather spacious, cheerful, and quite lovely. Being a very curious horse, once inside the stall for the first time, I wanted to investigate every inch of the space. It is absolutely perfect!
TASTY agrees! She is extremely happy with all of her new surroundings and experiences as well!
At this time, I’d also like to take a moment and thank you for sharing all of these special and cherished moments in my life with ME! It is such an exciting time!
Please enjoy your weekend and all of the great racing taking place around the country! It is our wonderful sport of Thoroughbred Horse Racing that brought ALL OF US together!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Also, Happy Super Bowl Sunday!)
Z
There is so much going on these days! I love it! Giants or Patriots….which is YOUR CHOICE??? I hope it is a close score! Championship games are so much more FUN to watch when they are really competitive! I guess you can say I am someone who loves the excitement in sports of CLOSE FINISHES!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Dear Zenny,
I’m SO glad to know that you are happy in your new surroundings and that Tasty is in her “usual place” across from you. After reading the article about another farm having mares foal “outside” so that they don’t bump into anything, I was a little concerned about that aspect of it (and your stall didn’t look all that big in the Lane’s End video). Of course, I KNOW that Lane’s End will provide the best possible care and that Team Z will closely monitor everything that goes on – but it’s great to hear that perhaps we didn’t see the entire stall in the video.
Hope you have a great weekend (although I think there is some “weather” headed in your direction). Joining the others in pace . . . pace . . . pace.
Love from your Ohio friend, Sandy

Yes, we must have been at HM at the same time. My sister was 4 years behind me so you must have been right in the middle – a 7th grader when I was in 9th and a 9th grader when she was in 7th. I just have to shake my head over meeting up with someone who shares part of my childhood!
Marty R / Colorado
Sandy, I’ve been trying to think if there was anything that might help you think of who I was back then. I was the tallest girl in my class that year. At one of our all school assemblies the theme of part of it was, “I’ve got a Secret” Four other students and I as well as the principal got on the stage together. I thought it should be pretty obvious, but nobody guessed our secret. Then we said our names: David Clark 9th grade, John Clark 8th grade, from 7th grade, Susan Clark, cousin of John-Willard Clark, brother of David and me, Marcia Clark and then Mr. Clark, Principal. Don’t know if any of that is a help or not.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Marty, I don’t actually remember that assembly, but what a good story! Your name actually sounds vaguely familiar. Mr. Clark was the principal when my MOTHER went to Horace Mann (and many of the same teachers were still there when you and I went). Anne Huxtable Palomaki (my BFF from McKinley grade school – she married Jack Palomaki whom we met at HM – one of his sisters may have been in your class) and I have been trying to come up with a list of the names of teachers we remember. Probably too long to post here, but I’ll let you know when we’ve exhausted our memories.
My most memorable assembly was probably before you got there. I think it was a Christmas assembly, and I volunteered to play a very spiffy version of “O Holy Night” on the piano. When my turn came, somebody forgot to turn up the lights so I had to do the whole thing in near darkness. People thought it had all been planned (they didn’t hear my knocking knees or see my terrorized Mother in the audience) and thought it was “so effective.” LOL!
Lorri
Momma Z! You look fantastic! I’m so glad that you and Tasty are getting settled in to the foaling area. You will be so much more comfortable now that you know where the birth will take place. So so glad Tasty is right across from you too! Lovin that you are still dancing!
As for the Superbowl. Definitely going for MY Giants! Just think, if you had placed a bet on the Giants to win the Superbowl back in November, your odds were 100-1!
Have a great weekend!

Wow, your new paddock looks bigger than the old one… you can’t even see the fences. Will that be the same place you and Tasty and your foals will be turned out in? I’m SO happy you two girls are being kept together… new experiences are always better shared with a best friend and you’re both so very special. Tasty was lucky to get you for a roomie since everyone’s love and good wishes now extend to her as well. I’m betting she also gets to share in the treats when you have visitors. I can’t believe it’s almost time for the big event. Seems so long ago that you visited Bernie… twice. I’m a bit of a nail biter so I’m both nervous and excited at the same time. Won’t be long now… counting down…
Margaret
Patience! I know believe me I know! This is exciting, nerve wracking, sleepless, wonder, and scary time. A hundred different emotions at the same time and no way to really describe it!
JOHN did a fabulous thing for Z when he had all those people handling her everyday. Because now when the time comes she’ll have a stall full of people outside the stall ready to help at a moment’s notice. It will be far less scary for her having everyone around since she’s use to that at Barn 55.
The best scenario is this: Z’s water will break when she’s in her stall. At that time someone will put a full arm sleeve on and check the position of the baby. What we want is two front legs-one slightly in front of the other with the baby’s nose on top. Given this scenario everyone will leave her alone to deliver on her own. SHE WILL BE CONSTANTLY MONITOREDFROM OUTSIDE THE STALL.
Okay what happens if the waters break while she’s outside? At this time someone is constantly walking this area. All the horses are checked EVERY 15 mins. If someone is trying to leave–walking away from her paddock mate that’s a red flag that she might be in labor!
The people that will be with Z are the main foaling person for her barn. Two handlers who are experienced with foaling, and two “trainees”. Trainees are really okay because someday they may be the ones helping Z to foal and there’s tons and tons to learn. I know some of you are gasping but this is the cycle. This is the way you learn–by walking through all this stuff.
PLEASE DON’T BE SCARED. Zenyatta won’t be left with anyone she doesn’t know or have a bond with.
The big unknown is–how will she react to her baby? No one really knows until the baby’s here. And we won’t know how protective a mom she’ll be. All will be well.
This is the time to think good thoughts. Good thoughts for a safe foaling. Good thoughts for the baby. Good thoughts for impending motherhood for Z.
Marty R / Colorado
Thanks, Margaret, your words are very reassuring. As curious as Zenyatta is about everything, I just believe she’ll know every inch of that foal in no time. Hopefully, because she has always been so well cared for, she will be trusting of people to be ok around her little one.
Trina Nagele in So Cal
Lovely post, Margaret.
DMCQ
Thanks Margaret! This is very reassuring to those of us who are pacing and hopeful that all will be well.
Linda Hoke
Zee and Dottie, thank you so much for the update. That new paddock looks huge, and I can almost imagine you and Tasty and your little ones romping and racing in the new grass. You are indeed a fortunate horse to have so much wonderful care. All of this news takes me back to when my mare gave birth, in April many years ago. It was a wonderful time in my life and so I’m looking forward to your progress, and the new Queen Zee prince or princess.
sharon in seattle
I still have to pinch myself on occasion to make sure the INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS of Dottie, Lane’s End and all of Team Z working to reassure Z-sters, educate us, make us chuckle and cry tears of joy, is real — we are SOOOOO lucky!!!
Zenyatta – seeing you dance just made my day — many days as a matter of fact! Love to you and Tasty and all Z connections. THANK YOU!
sue and Tony
Zenny…Go, Giants!
We absolutely love every picture of you with your Matt. The Mosses have made certain everything is perfect for you, as it should be. And to see you dance again…WOW! Your unique qualities always shine through and always will. Have a wonderful weekend with TT.
maria McLeese
love you big Z….you are indeed fortunate and we, your fans, are thrilled to hear about the little known details that you share with us. How lucky you are also, weather-wise to have grass to graze rather then snow & ice. You little one looks like it quite comfy. We all wait with anticipation for it’s arrival.
suew/Va
Zenny, I just love you bunches…these pictures warm my heart and make me smile.
You remain the dear, sweet, inquisitive, intelligent Dancing Queen I fell for years ago.
You will always remain close to my heart.
Margaret
Well those are some unusual pics! Z your usually groomed for your pics but I love the “real” horse too!
Also I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but backside55 at Facebook has some UTTERLY fabulous videos from LE’s. Donna took some time. There about three videos, 20 mins total that EVERYONE should watch. For the younger ones please get your parents permission or have them with you cause you see the bag of milk on one mare and some more specifics about how close she is too foaling. THIS IS NOT ZENYATTA. It’s is very “tasty”-fully done and could be a real discussion maker at home about all this “grown up”stuff.
suew/Va
I agree, these videos are great and much appreciated.
Debbie
hi Z! Happy Friday to YOU and Tasty and all! I love the photos of YOU dancing, checking out YOUR new paddock and stall, YOU and BABY Z/B BUMP look gorgeous!! Did YOU have a roll in the mud;) YOU are TOO CUTE!!! Have a wonderful weekend with Tasty! Love YOU sooo much beautiful mama xoxoxo
Sheri Deets
Was so excited to see your baby bump in today’s picture! Anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Z! Thank you for keeping us updated daily!
Marty R / Colorado
Once again we get to see wonderful pictures of you, Zenny. Thank you, Sarah for being Zenyatta’s and Tasty T’s personal photographer. I’m sure it’s not a difficult chore, but must cut into your busy days’ work loads. We appreciate what you do.
Today it’s a winter wonderland outside and the snow isn’t going to stop any time soon. The tv folks are saying it could be an historic storm for this time of year. Zenny, I think if you were standing in this snow, your tummy would be touching the top of it.
With the Denver Broncos being in the AFC, I feel I should cheer on the Patriots. However, I like Eli Manning so much, I would be happy if the Giants won. Guess I can’t lose.
Good luck to Mr. Commons tomorrow and all of the horses YOUR John has trained. Have fun, all who are going to the races this weekend. A great weekend to everyone.
Cathy Braun-Emig
I just love your new digs! I’m so glad you and Tasty have each other at this time. It’s fun to have a friend going through the same thing. You have each other to yak with! Hope they put a TV in there so you can watch the game Sunday! Esp. the Clydesdale commercials! They are always so cute. Take care and have a Great Weekend Queen Z and Tasty!!
>^..^<
Joanna from TX
Oh goodness, Zenny! Talk about round! Maybe you’ll deliver just a tad on the early side. Those kids just sit there and grow toward the end of a pregnancy and you look pretty ripe already :))) Your new digs look wonderful. You and Tasty relax…it will be show time before you know it!
Stephanie
Time is really getting close- sending you amazing vibes for a happy and heathly birth!
Mary Werner
You are lucky to begin with because of your John, and the Mosses. They took the time to let you grow and mature before they started racing you, and you earned every bit of the wonderful life you are having now. I loved watching every race you were in. Notonly because you won, but the way you ran, with your head up and ears pricked. I am 66 and have watched racing all my life, and you are the only horse that I have ever seen that looked like you ran because you loved it!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world with your new foal. My birthday is march 9th in case you need a foaling date!! haha Love you girl!!!!!
Trina Nagele in So Cal
Kris O in the Chicago, IL area, John Henry, and of course JAG all agree with you, Mary!
ellen
Glad you are so well…love ya, Z….
Henrietta Wolfe
You look just FABULOUS! Reading about you is one of the happiest things I do. You truly are a gift. The WORLD, will STOP, on the day YOU HAVE YOUR BABY!! <3
Judy
Zenny, you are the BEST. What is you due date? We wish you all the best. You are the QUEEN.
Heidi Kruckenberg (Vallejo,Ca)
Judy, her due date is Early March but,, from the looks of her belly, it’ll be sooner. Hopefully not to soon though!
Margaret
Heidi honestly Z isn’t near ready to foal. Her due date isn’t until Feb 26–that’s day 330. Horses gestation is 325-355 days according to some and others go by 330-360 days. Rachel went 333 days.
The clearest sign I have is that the BABY HAS NOT DROPPED. That area right in front of Z’s hind legs will drop like a rock. Just like a human baby only this is some 125-150 lbs of baby horse.
Hopefully Dottie will speak of this. In the meantime do watch the videos that LE’s made on this subject. They can be found at Facebook under Backside 55. There are three clips maybe 20 mins total. They are really well done.
signofthetimes
Dates Zenny could goal are Feb 27 to March 12
Plus or minus 10 to 11 days which is as late as March
23 or as early as Feb 17 a very wide foaling period.
Horses only foal when they are alone and usually
In the dark. It is an inate instinct to protect the foal
Who will not stand for awhile and may be wobbly and
Easy prey for large cats and coyotes.
Lois Gillespie/DE
Dottie and Z, so glad to get my daily diary fix. Yesterday’s links to videos on the foaling procedures at LE were so interesting. I had always worried about labor starting while the mares were in their field, now I can rest easy that nothing will go unwatched.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and as a former Jersey girl I have to go with the Giants-
Linda M
Dear Sweet Zenny and TT – you are both so lucky! What great care and attention you are getting. I predict both your babies will have the same!
So makes me wonder if between you and TT there will be 2 girlfriends, 2 boyfriends, or a boy and girlfriend combonation!
We love you and are going to be rooting for the Patriots! However, this afternoon, we are rooting for GELILA at Santa Anita!!
Love Linda & George
Sue Fredrick - Wisconsin
What wonderful pictures, that paddock is huge, and how very thoughtful for those at LE to share them with us. They are super-great people with a fabulous farm and care takers. Special thanks to Dottie and the Mosses for allowing this invasion of their privacy, which they fortunately look at as “sharing Z with her fans”. Can’t imagine where we Zsters would be without all this continuous information. I slept a lot better last nite after watching those videos, and realizing she will be under constant supervision, and her best buddy TT will be there too.
Hope and pray all you with health issues are doing better today.
Good luck to Mr Commons and Alpha racing this weekend…..safe trips to all horses and jockeys.
Love you Mama Z and TT too, kisses on your noses Auntie Sue
Susan
Dearest sweet momma Zenyatta, how you are my inspiration! For many years, I have had the dream to finally be an owner. I always thought that it would happen in a particular order, that I would get the right property first – and then find the best people to guide me – as I learned how to be the best possible steward. And I always thought the first horses would be the sons and daughters of Smarty Jones – a horse that I have loved since the first moment he walked on the track. God does work in mysterious ways. Far sooner that I was ready, as of last Sunday, I became an owner. She is a big, beautiful mare – and like you, she is in foal! I can hardly believe it, Zenny! She is in foal to Smarty Jones!!
When I saw you walking across the bridge yesterday, taking your first steps in to the next phase of your exciting foaling process, I was struck by the simplicity and the life confirming beauty of it all. LIke so many beautiful mares before you – and so many more to come at the lovely Lane’s End, life is unfolding. Quietly, with dignity,… simply. Regally, for our Queen.
My lovely mare is going to move along a similar path, and will be moving to a beautiful farm for foaling. And soon, a colt or filly of the fiery and irrepressible Smarty Jones will make it’s way into the world. While no horse is your equal Sweet Zenny, we all stand in the brilliant light of you and your wonderous inspiration.
Thank you, Zenny, for everything you have taught us and for the love you give us. You are, simply, the Queen.
sue and tony
Susan, we loved your post. We are also huge Smarty Jones fans…how we loved to see him run! And, your love for the Great Z is so evident in this post. Indeed…she will always be our Queen.
kelly-Allentown, Pa
I got a chance to visit Smarty last weekend at Northview, Pa. He is a beautiful horse. He looked very happy & well taken care of. Everyone at Northview was very kind. We had a great afternoon visitng Smarty & all the other stallions.
Marty R / Colorado
Congratulations, Susan, on your dream of becoming an owner coming true!! Please keep us posted on all things related to your mare and her future “Smarty” foal.
Celeste in TX
Congratulations on your first horse! Wow! And in foal to Smarty Jones!! That is so cool. You’ll have to keep us all up to date on her progress, too.
Kim S in Tampa FL
How exciting for you!!! A Big High Hoof to you on realizing your dream. Keep us posted on your foal watch :)
Marshall (in NC)
Congratulations, Susan! How exciting that your dream is coming true!! A wonderful horse and soon a foal of Smarty Jones!! Smarty is a favorite of mine, and I have always felt that the Belmont Stakes should have been his. Nothing against Birdstone except that he had not run in either of the previous TC races. All the very best to you and your great dream!
Trina Nagele in So Cal
Lovely post, Susan! Congratulations to you and to your beautiful mare. Please keep us in the loop as your journey with her and with Smarty’s little one progresses! High hoof!
Susan
Thank you everyone, for your lovely comments – and for sharing in my joy. This really is a dream coming true – and so amazing it’s a bit hard to believe.
I was at Northview last Sunday, as well – and Smarty does look wonderful. The people there are so kind, as you say and the farm is beautiful. My sweet girl is going there tomorrow morning and will remain there for her foaling. She won’t love her trip so much, but I know she will be safe and well cared for there.
Life is such an exciting journey – and so much the better for being able to share it!! Thanks!!
Heather
Wow what a great post! I have just LOVED Smarty Jones myself! I live in Maine and would love to get down to PA to meet him!!! Good luck with your Mare and foal!
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Susan:
How wonderful. Wishing you and your mare all the best with the new Smarty Jones foal. Hugs, JB
Past the Grandstand
That is great! Congratulations! Smarty is the horse that got me hooked on racing. Well wishes for you, your mare, and the foal.
Brenda S..Ontario, Canada
Susan, How lucky you are to be expecting a Smarty Pants foal. Vic and I met him at Three Chimneys, we are very fond of him and Vic always wore her Smarty hat before she got her Zenyatta hat. I wear him now when I want a pink hat. All the best to your mare and foal, keep us posted.
Keta
On this day in 1990: Bill Shoemaker rode his final race.
He retired with a then-record 8,833 wins.
A moment to remember a great jockey!
Keta
Here is a recap of Bill Shoemaker’s career
Career Thoroughbred Racing Summary:
Starts 40,350
Firsts 8,833
Seconds 6,136
Thirds 4,987
Earnings— $123,375,524
Julie DuVall / Ontario, CA
I was at Santa Anita that day. Shoe finished 4th in his final race; the winner was a horse named Patchy Groundfog. On foggy mornings I always think of that day!
Keta
Lucky you.
What a horse name just after Groundhog day!
What a great career he had!
Terry Crow
Julie-I was also there that day. I hope you don’t mind me correcting you, but Shoemaker rode Patchy Groundfog and the horse finished, I believe, fourth. For me, Shoe will always be the greatest of all time.
Julie DuVall / Ontario, CA
Terry, you are right. Shoe was on Patchy Groundfog … the winner was Exemplary Leader ridden by Eddie Delahoussaye. :)
PatB from NM
My favorite combo –Shoe on Swaps; now I’ve got Mikie on Zenyatta! Was so in love with Shoe when I was a girl.
Keta
Me too, Pat.
When I was a teen, wrote Bill a fan letter–no response.
When others were following movie or music stars, I was following racing.
Grew up listening to races on the radio or maybe getting to see one on
Movietune News in the movie theatre. This was pre-television.
Yes, I am almost as old as dirt.
Will hit the big 75 this year!
Terry Crow
Since so much is being posted about Shoe, I will repeat my story about him. In the 50s and 60s, crowds of 40,000 or more were common on Saturdays as there was no Sunday racing in California. The local CBS station. KCBS, would telecast the Saturday feature race each week and the winning jockey was interviewed by Gil Stratton, a local sports reporter. Shoemaker won so often it was referred to as the Shoemaker show. One week at Santa Anita, Stratton was getting ready to interview Shoe when a guy nearby started yelling “That race was fixed. I’ve got the proof right here in my back pocket.” Security hustled the guy away. Stratton started the interview again and Shoemaker said “I kinds wanted to see what that guy had in his back pocket.” Shoe had a sense of humor.
Lisag in Texas
o, The Shoe, cheers to him forever.
Terry Crow
Amen.
Robin - Ventura CA
Looks to me like you have be rolling in the mud! What a great place to have your baby! I did watch the video last night about the foaling barn, I want to work there!!!!
Have a Wonderful and peaceful weekend, but I do hope you and TASTY watch the Superbowl! Go GIANTS!!!
LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER BIG GIRL!!! AND OF COURSE BABY Z (FILLY)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOO
Pam
It warmed my heart and made me smile to see you dancing! You’ve still got it!
I love your new stall and paddock. You and Tasty are so lucky to have such grand accommodations. Nothing is too good for the Queen and her first born.
I love the last picture that shows your baby bump. I’m closing my eyes and trying to imagine what your baby looks like right now in your tummy. What a beauty he or she will be.
We’re in the final countdown now. I am so excited!!!
Sending lots of love to you, Tasty and your Team! Have a great weekend!!
Delrene in Carlsbad, Ca
Zenyatta and TT – Your new foaling barn/stall/paddock look so fabulous. And from the pictures you look so happy. Thanks to Lane’s End, Matt, Sarah Dottie, Mr. Moss and Anne Moss for the privilege of sharing all things Zenyatta.
Things will be so different in a good way very soon. Your 1/2 sis E. worked out today…. I sure hope we get lots of advance notice (if possible) to go and watch her debut. Go Gelila today and Mr. Commons tomorrow. May all horses and riders come home safely.
I love your “muddied up” look. You get to be a horse! I can’t believe you still are so peppy and dancing! Good for you. I swear, although it was a long time ago, the last week or two I felt like I was as big as a battleship and lumbered along like a locomotive. End result :supreme happiness with a baby boy! One never forgets all the joy. Much love to you and TT . Glad you are right across from each other.
Katie Clawson
It is GREAT to get to see these pictures of you, Tasty, and you’re new paddock!
The days are ticking down, you’re lovely foal will be here soon and a new chapter of you’re life will have began!
Best of luck sweet heart, you and Tasty are going to be WONDERFUL mothers!
Have fun with all of the great racing from around the country
Love, Katie(future jockey)
P.S. Go Giants!!
Cheryl
I love all of the comments and pictures so that we can keep up with such a great horse. But why is the word “me” capitalized all the time? It kind of gives off a conceited connotation when Zenyatta seems like a friendly and sweet horse.
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
Only my opinion – but I think Zenyatta capitalizes ME as a way of saying, for example, “I am so proud that all of you care about ME” is meant to indicate “I am astounded” that so many people care about me. I hope this makes sense and I in no way can speak for how this diary is written but that’s how I interpret it. She usually capitalizes YOU also when she speaks of all of her fans and MY JOHN and so on. Just my opinion, but I don’t feel it is meant to convey conceit.
suew/Va
I agree. The WE seems almost to astonish her that folks care so much.
Maryp (New York)
I agree.
Marty R / Colorado
I’ve never taken the capitalized words as being conceited. I’ve also never written for (as) a horse, either. I always thought the capitalized words were Dottie’s way of making sure it was understood that what was being said related to Zenyatta and not herself. I also agree with Rosemary that some of the things written are expressing humility and astonishment at Z’s popularity and importance from her own perspective. I think Dottie does a great job of writing in “horse”.
Margaret
Well you have to remember that Dottie is speaking for Z. So ME is in reference to Zenyatta. It’s not about Dottie. And the YOU is at us humans. MY JOHN is Z’s beloved trainer and friend.
As RT Fitch would say its about the horse. Not us humans nor our egos. And yes, I do believe horses have egos as such. Maybe they wouldn’t acknowledge them as such but you see it when Z dances before her races. It’s psyching herself up, psyche out the competition and she came to understand us silly two leggeds loved her dancing!
Barbara Grimaldi/Skip & Juliet/NJ
The cap letters are part of the charm of the diaries, Cheryl…they personalize Dottie’s messages, give personality to Zenyatta, and make us think of someone who is getting so much attention that they cannot believe it. I hope the caps never stop.
Rose Edwards
Queen Z….you look wonderful!!! we are all so excited about your next few weeks. You and Tasty take it easy. Those new foals maybe a little feisty (like Rachel’s new boy).
Tasty’s sire is one of my favorites, I loved to see him race and he is one handsome dude! Got to see Bernardini race in the Breeder’s Cup Classic and was so impressed with him. Both of you will have talented, fast and beautiful foals.
When you foal all of your fans should make a donation to Old Friends in your honor! Michael would appreciate the flood of money to help all his retirees!
Have a wonderful week end Zenny.
