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~

Paula
Good Luck to you Zen and your team. We have our fingers crossed. Either way, you guys are the winners.

“Big Z, little Z, what begins with Z? I do.
I deserve to be Horse of the Year, as you can plainly see.”
— Dr. Seuss (altered a wee bit by a devoted fan of Zenyatta and Team Z !)
Pardon the silliness! I suppose I’m feeling a little punchy with all the excitement surrounding tonight’s Eclipse HOY Award! Good Luck from Colorado! :-)

Zenyatta, you were born a winner. Not just on the track, but in all ways possible. Your team is a winner, as well. You have nothing to prove to anyone; your greatness on and off the track is fact and history has already been written about your magnificent self. Win or lose tonight, we all know you are on another level unobtainable by the rest of them. I will hold you in my heart forever and end this with a kiss for luck, my sweet Zenny.
Jeanie Langford
Go Z. I don’t care what the vote is. You are the horse of a lifetime. Look at all the people who had never watched a race before and are keeping up with you. What more can I say. The best that I have ever seen. Hugs and Kisses
Lindsey
Good luck Z! I don’t care who wins though. You’ll always be number 1 in my book! Luv you Z!
Cheryl Smith
Zenyatta, Good Luck to you, like so many of us have said, no matter what happens tonight, we all know that YOU ARE THE HORSE OF THE YEAR (LIFETIME) to us.
You are so special! You have inspired so many of us with you heat, and kindness.
Love You!
Lollipop
Zenyatta, you are the awesomest horse EVER. You will totally win! from your biggest fan
Jeanine Coogle
No matter what happens, Z you are our horse of the year, and better yet, horse of a lifetime.
Marty

Love you
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Good Luck Lady Z, May your butterfly deliver the message on a “Wing & a Prayer” and all our voices be heard.
Jenna
@Lesley, I love that poem. I am reading the book by Bill Nack. Secretariat was a horse for the ages, just like Zenyatta.
Barb
Good luck to you and all your connections tonight, Zeny. I will be watching TVG and cheering all of you on. Regardless of the resluts, you are still a horse of a lifetime.
Angie
No matter what the outcome it has been an absolute joy to watch you race and see the transition to Lane’s End Farm. Your entire team has been amazing in sharing you with the fans and to that we owe them all a huge debt of gratitude. The new (and renewed) fans you have brought to the sport is to be commended.
My daughter who is 6 and a horse fanatic LOVES you. We happened to be visiting Disneyland when Zenyatta Appreciation Day took place at Hollywood Park. It was the highlight of her trip getting to see you. She loves the Diary (I read her each new entry) and getting you see you at your new home.
Fingers and Toes are crossed, sending good thoughts!!!
Carmela Bozulich
Best of luck to you and yours, Lady Z…I’m holding good thoughts for tonight, that you will be honored the way you deserve.
Sarah Powell
We’ve all got butterflies today – no matter what happens tonight we all know that you have been HOY for the past 2 years and certainly are this year. Best wishes to your entire team and of course the Queen. Did I miss a post yesterday with the vistors? Sometimes on the east coast I get 2 in one day – but I had hoped there would be pictures of the visit.
Dmama
YOU are horse of a LIFETIME ! ! !
That will not change, no matter the voting….. you are #1 with your MANY fans.
Bobbie Graser
I hope you win HOY but if not no big deal. You have proven yourself over and over again on the track and now you will have the opportunity to produce little Zs.
I have a love for butterflies also and hope they bring you luck tonight. You and your team certainly deserve the recognition.
Carlotta Cooper
We love you, Zenyatta. Sending lots of butterflies to you and your family. Good luck tonight!
Stacey
Good Luck Zenyatta!!! We will be watching!
Donna from Baltimore
In our hearts – you ARE HOTY 2008, 2009, and 2010. Good Luck Queen Z.

Look up, under ‘Links,’ on ‘Z`s’ FB today [off to the left-hand side of the page] “Horse of the Year? Win or Lose, Zenyatta Remains a Champion” 8:23am Jan 17 .. . Roxanne Cook`s YouTube [still on FB] then appears, and a video of perfection, woven with the quote attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, which Hemingway also used. Worth the search. And the ride.
Peggy
Zen, Your going to be our HORSE OF THE YEAR, and AP INDY should be your first date. (I’M THAT RIGHT) I stole that from the movie Secretariat from Penny, Sorry Penny but I just love that saying and I know it applies here. Love You Zenyatta and May God Bless YOu and Keep you safe. Love Ya, Peggy from Georgia
Liz
There’s simply no comparing you Zenyatta, but I’ll be watching anyways. You are, indeed, the finest racehorse that we’ve ever seen.
Linda Deutsch
You, Z, and all connected with you will always be 1st with us! No doubt you will will HOY, but you are really the horse of a lifetime. We love you all and wish you THE BEST.

Your joy and heart are second to none.
You will always be Number ONE!
All honors to you and your team for showing what racing CAN be!

You are my Horse of a lifetime and I am so glad I was blessed to see you run and win and win and win, you will always be a winner and someday when my grandchildren are watching the Zenyatta story, I will be so proud to be able to say I saw it all. Good luck sweet Zenny
