Queen Zenyatta! Super congratulations on winning HOTY! I work till 7pm on the weekdays and I couldn’t wait to get home to see if I could find out who won on the Internet. I’m very, very happy for you and Team Z on the awards. You are so beautiful and talented. I’ve always loved reading about the throughbred race horse. Seeing such a wonderful champion in my lifetime is a dream come true. I experience depression and sometimes my days are so dark and gloomy, but you are a beautiful ray of sunshine. Thank you, Zenyatta and Team Z for allowing us to experience the wonder that is Zenyatta!

God bless you and your entire family. I knew you would get it!!!! You are one of a kind- you have done so much in your lifetime & I know there will never be another horse like you. I hope we can see pictures & possibly a video of the announcement . Sleep well XOXO

Congratulations to Zenyatta and all her people!!! We knew she was a winner, and the rest of the world (and the Eclipse voters) finally heard all of us! So proud to be able to say “I got to see her run, and got to go on the backside to see her in person.” To all those at Barn 55, you earned this award. Thanks to the Mosses for sharing her with us one more year.
Cheryl
I am so thrilled I was just gripping my chair and then they said your name and it was so wonderful!!! I love you! You deserve every wonderful moment of this victory!

I was braced to hear Blame, and about fell off my chair when they announced Zenyatta. I’m so happy for you Zen, but I am also happy for you amazing connections who go out of their way to keep us in touch with you. I’m so grateful you weren’t overlooked again, and they mentioned you soooo many times throughout the night. It was amazing. I’ve never been able to watch before, so I am so blessed to have been able to watch this one. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Can’t wait for my Breyer replica to get here. Love you!!!!
Mike Sekulic
When they announced ZENYATTA’s name for Horse of the Year I yelled “Yes!” and was so happy and relieved and then I started bawling. I loved seeing Mrs. Moss’ emotion and sweet reaction. And Jerry Moss was eloquent and classy, as usual, and I loved the thing he read at the end, it was quite moving. All the people who had some hand in bringing ZENYATTA to us were on stage, and it was great seeing them all basking in the glory of a beautiful moment.
Judith Stock
Congratulations and thanks to Team Zenyatta……ALL OF YOU! She lifted us, and thrilled us, and made us cry, and laugh, and stare in amazement, and call the paramedics to re-start our hearts, and then she left us for another career. For that brief time, however, the stars truly aligned when you and she came together. I can’t remember when a horse and connections meshed so perfectly. That stage really looked wonderful filled with all you classy folks, and we celebrate your richly deserved win.
So, here’s to Zenyatta; LONG MAY SHE WAVE!!
Kathy in Studio City
Was there ever any doubt?!!! We believed in you and your team — you guys are the best — so gratifying to see you all get the most deserved recognition. Finally! And thank you Joe Drape! Can’t wait to hear your plans for next year. For our two cents — we like Tisnow and Medaglia D’Oro. But like Mike said — none of them are good enough for”The Queen”!
Wendy
Ellie,
Mike held up her prize and kissed it. It was beautiful.
Mary McQuire
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Queen Zenyatta and team,
I am so happy for you!
This recognition could not have gone to a more deserving horse or team. You have brought class and compassion to the horse racing world. I loved watching her run with all her heart and the way that you always chose what was best for Zenyatta during her racing career. She has truly been treated like the Queen she is.
Many of us were not able to see the awards. It would be exta special if we could see the recording of Zenyatta being anounced and the joy on your faces.
Love and hugs!
Roberta
Reading some of the posts. Well, I WAS nervous! The person who posted “Horse of the Year…There is justice…” said it. But, ya know, there ISN’T always justice. So in this case, A BIG RELIEF, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT Z WAS ANYTHING ELSE. No disrespect to Blame, but geez!!! So I was nervous. And, yes, the Whitney speech was right on. Let’s hope this time of increased awareness also brings even more care and attention to the welfare of these GRAND and majestic and courageous racehorses…
Mary W.
Congratulations Z – You are phenomenal. Looking forward to following you at Lane’s End!
Debbie
Zenyatta YOU ROCK!!!! I got the great news earlier but am enjoying a leisurely stroll through the Eclipse awards on my DVR – looking forward to seeing your special surprise moment that I recorded earlier!! Time to snuggle in with some Guiness & let the DVR roll!!! Hugs from Los Angeles! XXO

Congratulations, Zenny to YOU and all of your special team who have let us get so close to you. It’s all about love, respect and faith. Each of these three were very visible tonight. I love how Mario has his two thumbs up. How he loves you! John, you are the master trainer and so willingly shared this magnificient animal with us. To Jerry and Ann, thank you will never be enough. And, finally, Dottie…the link between Zenyatta’s world and ours…sleep well tonight knowing how special you and all of her team are to each of us. I have come to believe in the goodness of people through this horse.
Donna from Baltimore
I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! Team Z was the personification of graciousness. I don’t think Ann could take anymore happiness!!!! Congratulations to the Team and ….
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!!
Paula Higgins
My husband and I were jumping up and down when they announced Zenny’s name!!!! I am over the moon!!! This is so deserved and I am so grateful that 128 voters did the right thing. My congratulations to Jerry, Ann, John, Dottie, Mario, Carmen, Barn 55, and of course, your friend Sophie. You have all revolutionized horse racing by making her accessible. Other owner/trainers are taking a page from your book and doing likewise. I think most of the people in the room at the Eclipse Awards were thrilled that you all won. I am so happy for all of you!
Lynn .... California
I’m so thrilled! Happy dance everyone!

I’m so happy for the Mosses.. Congrats! Z, did you see Ann’s ‘Z’ pin? Love it.
I knew I’d see a standing ovation!!

We love you Zen-goddess!!!!!!!!
