Hello everyone,
It is such a gorgeous morning here in California. I am doing great!
John said I might get to do a bit of jogging today…nothing much…just some fun. He wants to keep me happy and let me stretch my legs. I had lots of visitors yesterday afternoon. Ann came out with her sisters to see me and give me a big hug. Jerry is coming to see me this morning. Lucky me!
A friend emailed Dottie and told her there is a campaign amongst my fans going on to support me in the voting for HOTY. They are writing the NTRA. This makes me feel so special. I truly appreciate all of the kindness people are showing me.
I’m also so touched that so many people really appreciate my efforts and accomplishments. I have tried hard during each of the last 3 years. I have done my very best….and it really makes me feel good that people are trying to honor me for my work and accomplishments!
Wow…here comes Mario, Steve, and John! I’m getting ready to have some fun and stretch my legs.
As I have said so many times…I am one very fortunate horse to have so many of YOU loving and supporting me!
Hugs to all of you~
Z

Carolyn
I want to see her race one more year…she loves her job entirely too much! :)
Margaret
Morning Z. I love stopping by and seeing what you are up to each day. I am so happy that you started this blog. You know I think the BC just showed what a tremendous horse you are. You had to give Blame a 20 length headstart so he could beat you. Blame HOY??? No Way! Zenyatta HOY??? NOW YOU’RE TALKING!!!!!
Oh by the way Z back on your diary no 1 you got spam mail. Maybe some of the humans around you could fix the site so we have to log in with a password or something–so as to cut down on the icky spammo mailo.
I hope to come visit soon!!!
Theresa
I love these diary posts! I am not ready to let Zenyatta go yet.
Liv
she’s wonderful!!! :)
KT
What a beautiful girl and great ambassador for her species! Is Zenny having other visitors, too? Would love to come see her, but I heard that the track isn’t allowing it anymore?
Denise
You are the best horse in the whole world. You are so loved and have so many Zenyatta fans ! We love you Z !

I mean HOTY!!!!!!
Jackie
Queen Z you are truly the best! In a time when things are difficult for so many you have brought such joy. You are “Horse of the Year”. Your accomplishments speak for themselves.
I think your connections should consider making you the Good Will Ambassador for Horse Racing!
Ann Maree
Glad you are getting out and staying fit! We are the lucky ones, though, because you have given back to your fans much more than we have been able to give you! Can’t imagine a day without a little Z in it! Has anyone told you that you have nearly 60,000 fans on Facebook? Your official page, and two HOTY 2010 pages! We are pulling for you in the HOTY, but many writers have said you are more than that: you are horse of the decade! Heck, one writer even said you are THE horse of the last 40 years! Take care! Hugs.
James Blackwell
Z…Now that you don’t have the streak to worry about, you should convince Jerry and Ann to let you run all over the country next year…I know you won’t like retirement!
Jain Wilson Silva
I agree with Margaret’s post today…giving Blame a 20 length head start to only be behind by a nose and then pass him after the wire…well that just goes to show you that you are the most amazing horse. You have meant more to me than I can say and seeing you in person will be a memory of my lifetime. I am grateful for the excitement and happy tears and emotion you have given me. Horse of the Year…there is no one else but you.
Wildberry's Owner
Running your best at the “old” age of 6, your owners must be treating you well, Big Z! Hopefully, it will become more common to see mature injury-free horses like Z doing so well instead of using them all up as 2- and 3-yr-olds.
Pat Mannion
Have a good day Big Baby
Kim Noble
Well of course we want you to be HOTY. Since you are Horse Of The Decade, HOTY seems only fair. Have a happy day with your family.
Lindsey
I love this horse! Her beauty is amazing and her willingness and heart are unmatched. She should win HOTY for what she has done on and off the track. She moves me to tears when I think and look at her. Watching her walk on the track at Churchill made me cry. when she warmed up going infront of me to the gate I cried and shock. When she lost I cried again. I would have cried if she won but in my heart she did! half a stride was it! Thank you to everyone who gave her the time to mature and thank you so much for sharing her with us! I do not think I will ever be blessed enough to see a gift from God as beautiful as her in my life time
Keith Strouhal
Take her to Dubai , show her off to the World !!!
Nancy

I think it would be great if you wrote a book, made a movie and went on a national tour. At least come to Florida just once for those of us who love you so much and have never been able to meet you personally. Yes, there is a site for all of us to vote for you as HOY. For all interested, they can go on Zenyatta facebook and find the link to petition. You already are HOY!
