Hello Everyone,
Happy Monday! Sophie and all of my friends at BARN 55 are sending ME and all of TEAM ZENYATTA SPECIAL GOOD LUCK WISHES for tonight!
In our family, we love BUTTERFLIES! We think they are beautiful and represent such a free spirit. In reality, we also feel they are very LUCKY.
To keep with this theme, Sophie is dressed in her LUCKY OUTFIT. It has a beautiful beaded Butterfly on the back. She’s ready to watch the ECLIPSE AWARDS with all of my friends at Barn 55. The area around the TV at BARN 55 will have ‘standing room only’. It is getting close!
Fingers, paws and hooves crossed!
With Love,
Hugs to all~

YOU WON! YOU WON! I AM SO EXCITED AND GRATEFUL. NOW EVERYONE WILL FOLLOW THE MOSS’S LEAD AND PRETEND THEY HAVE THE CLASS THAT ANN AND JERRY DO, BUT SORRY THEY DON’T. UNCLE MO IS A GREAT HORSE, BUT HIS OWNER NEEDS SOME LESSONS. I’M GOING TO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME SLEEPING TONIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS ALL OF TEAM Z AND BEAUTIFUL ZENYATTA!

How incredibly fortunate we are as fans to be included by Team Z, on national televsion no less, in Zenyatta’s win for Horse of the Year. Jerry thanked us and Dottie said the devoted fans are all part of Team Z and this wonderful win. I’m so happy that these precious people had their dream come true tonight. Did you see Ann’s gorgeous diamond “Z” pin on her
blouse? Butterflies are flittering and our Queen and her Team are dancing with joy. For this glorious moment, it does seem that all’s right with the world.

Dottie, Congratulations !!
You are so appreciated and loved by me, and I’m sure all of Zenyatta’s adoring fans. Thank you so very much for all you do to keep us in-touch with Queen-Z and Team-Z. I’m so grateful to you. I think you must be the “Magic Touch” of Team-Z!!
Fondly, OraJean

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!I just received the best birthday present ever. Today was my 53rd birthday and the gift I wanted most was given to me. I am so grateful to God for breathing life and soul into you, the Mosses, the Shirreffs, Mario and Carmen, Steve and Michelle, David Ingordo and all others involved behind the scenes. I am so happy for all of you. You are happy and content anyway, this award is really for all the amazing work your team did to give you the best life and training and love you could have gotten anywhere and then you gave that gift back to the world. You will always be in the history books and I pray that you will give birth to foals that will change the future of racing. I love you!!!

Finally!!!!! Congrats Z & Team Z for a job well done! Peace & Happiness to you Z.

“If you love Thoroughbred horses, you go through life hoping that you can just see one more in whose presence the clouds fall away to reveal the mountaintop. It can take a generation, or infinitely longer for such a horse to arrive, a horse that is capable of carrying the human heart. For the last one hundred years, we know them all by name, but Zenyatta brought to us a beauty that was a tonic for the soul. She allowed us to believe in the impossible. And it was the light in her being, the thrill of her races, that got us dancing. Zenyatta was transformative.” ‘Thank you, Priscilla, for lending us this.’ — Jerry Moss, ended his acceptance reading from the calendar script of Tranquility Farm President Priscilla Clark

Thank you, Kathryn Cogswell, for posting Jerry’s moving quote. Zenyatta somehow found her way to her perfect, loving family and they transformed each other. It’s our very own fairytale come true.

Zenyatta, when they announced your name for 2010 HOTY, I screamed as loud as I did when you won the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic!!! Thank you, Lord, for allowing this magnificent creature to get the recognition she finally deserves!! I am so proud for you and TEAM ZENYATTA!!! Well deserved and LONG overdue, big girl. Absolutely loved the quote that Mr. Moss read by Priscilla Clark from Tranquility Farm. I was also very appreciative of the comments made by Blind Luck’s owners….very touching!! Congratulations ZENYATTA!!! I love you so much!! In your honor, the colors I have chosen to use for my wedding are your silk colors. You will always be a part of my life. Thank you for giving us something to believe in….and you, my dear Zenyatta, are truly one in a million….our gift from God.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RACHEL!! “50 is a BABY,” my wonderful relative told me — so 53 is just rolling over. Happy, Happy Birthday.

WOW, what a night for Z and her family. You don’t need to know the Mosses and to see that they are wonderful owners. They could’ve gloated-knowing that their Z will go down as one the greatest horse races ever, but they were so humble and gracious, lie their beautiful Z. We love you.
I also found Dr. Mark Dedomenico(Blind Luck’s owner) words of Z quite emotional. He is so true…and this coming from a man who has been in the horse business for 50 years. HIs words….”the greatest racemare ever to live, Zenyatta. I’ve been racing for 5 decades, and I’ve never seen a horse race like that….”
I’m so happy that Z and her owners recd. the recognition that they deserved. Not only for bringing us beautiful Z, but what they’ve done for horseracing….opening up 55 and sharing Z with everyone. Thank you.

Hi Z!! Butterflies are much more than just a beautiful specimen. They have been present in moments of my families life. Oh Z, it just would not be right to deny you HOY, when you earned it already last year. Whatever, you will always be Zenyatta, the greatest race horse mare!!
Love
Anne Faulconer
Zenny or Sophie, do you know the name of the breeder of Ann Moss’s poodles? I saw them in a previous photo and my sister would like to know as she is very much into Standard Poodles – almost as much as I am into Thoroughbred horses!! But I know all about your breeding Z! Now Sophie you are a beautiful one too, don’t get jealous! You are too adorable in your green butterfly jacket :)
