ELLEN ZEHNDER
Fantastic! Now you are truly complete. Thanks for the thrills, and a lifetime of memories. Horse racing was blessed the day you arrived. You are the Queen.
Kathleen
Yeeha……..finally. You should have 3, but we’re happy with the 1!!!!
Cheers to you, dear Zen, ‘The greatest racehorse that we’ve ever seen’!!
Cindy
Thank you NORCALFan#1!!! I was hoping someone would post the award video for those of us who can only read about it. The horseracing industry needs to step it up if they don’t want the Sport of Kings to die the slow death it’s dying. Put a horseracing channel on cable!!! You’d be amazed what a difference that would make!
Thanks again for the video!!!

GOOD MORNING QUEEN Z. Finally you get the recgonition you so graciously deserve,I must also congratulate the owner of Blind Luck, for the comments he made about you. Showing us that there is a certain amount of respect when greatness is observed by our peers. Now the big question Who will be the one to Sire our Zenny, Am on needles & pins waiting to see who is selected. Once again CONGRATS Baby Girl. LOTS “O” LOVE

Hello Beautiful HOY!
I just saw Steve Haskin’s latest blog and photos of his recent visit with you and wanted to put it on here to share:

To John Sheriffs: When the mare you trained with love and with skill won Horse of the Year, you won as best trainer.
It seemed apparent to this viewer of last night’s ceremony that all of you on the stage had only one concern–not for you humans to win awards but for your beloved Zenyatta, whose shimmering career and personality that touched and even comforted the hearts of thousands across the world, should win the Horse of the Year Award at last.
That’s what was so moving about all of you up there last night–your selfless love of her.
With great admiration–Robbie

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Horse of the Year; Horse of a Lifetime and One in a Bazillion!!!! We love you and you deserve it ALL and more!!!!!!!!!!
Susan from VA
Wow! I was so sure that Zenyatta would be short-changed this year that I didn’t bother to check last night who got HOY. After all, she was robbed last year, why wouldn’t the same thing happen this year? This is great. There is justice after all!

To the Webmaster: I don’t know why the post said that my comment was awaiting moderation. I can see it’s there, but I’ll post it again:

Can’t say it any better than Priscilla. I’ve been loving Thoroughbreds for 50 years, and I’ve seen some greats. But Zenyatta surpasses them all in so many dimensions. I don’t expect to look on her likes again, but I do expect great horses to keep winning my heart and taking me higher.

To Kathryn Cogswell: As someone outside the horseracing world, I did not appreciate Marylou Whitney’s remarks until I read what you quoted of her speech. Thank you–Robbie

You and your team are the greatest! We love you Zenyatta!

Dearest family of Zenyatta
I was shocked when I heard them call out Zens name and was thrilled to hear those words,although I feel she is far greater than a mere ” Horse Of The Year.”
May the Peace and Love of our Father in Heaven Bless YOU…and ZENYATTA…..along with all her fans…
Tatia Johnson
Congratulations Z and team! You all deserve it! My honey and my Zenyatta bobblehead watched with me last night. We were all very pleased, but my honey said something that is very true. He said,”there IS NO award for a horse like her. Horse of the Year doesn’t even do her justice. There should be some sort of lifetime achievement award.” Bobble Z and I agreed.
Laura
So Awesome. Thank you for bringing it all back to me. As a past owner,exercise rider etc. I know it is not easy . You all are so deserving. Would have loved to hear from mike for a minute last night. So humble. Amazing heart you have Z. You are so missed. I pray you are truelly happy at Lane’s End.
Jennifer
Last night when they announced you as Horse of the Year, our home was filled with screams, laughter, tears, dancing…and crying from the baby who didn’t understand what all this commotion was all about. She will understand someday, though. Throughout her life we will be telling her the great story of Queen Z! Showing her the pictures of the races she was at when she was 4 weeks old and again at 3 months old. And of the beautiful day in November when she was able to touch and be carressed by the most amazing horse that ever lived. Thank you, Zenyatta and all her people, for the wonderful memories and moments that filled our hearts these past 3 years. We love you!!!
Abigail Anderson
Congratulations to you, Zenyatta, and to your wonderful, wonderful Team Z. I was so touched by Mr. Moss’ remarks as he accepted the award & it was wonderful seeing most of Team Z on stage too! I am also thrilled that we can say we are ALL part of a racing community — fans, owners, breeders, professionals who manage stables and care for horses 24/7, turf writers and journalists and all others involved in thoroughbreds and in the sport. I just feel, like all of you, so proud!
Frank and Lee Humphreys
You were the best thing on the Racetrack, we were wondering when you were going to open the Zenyatta Dance Studio? Those other hosses need some lessons and only you can teach them. Happy Retirement !!!
Patricia
Peppermints & Carrots for ALL!
Everyone just must be SO EXTREMELY PROUD!
This is the BEST news…I had a dream of you last night, it wasn’t about HOTY, but
you were in my thoughts & when I read this
post this morning, it brought such a great feeling to my heart! You are THE PEOPLE’s Horse…David must have known something VERY SPECIAL was within you & The Mosses, John, Dottie, Mike & ALL of TEAM Z brought you to your “HOMECOMING,” so to speak!
FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS!
Are the new Zenyatta HOTY T-shirts being produced??? I am sure many of your fans would LOVE to buy one!
XOXO
PS My daughter Ella will be so excited to hear of this when I get her off the bus!
Janet
Congratulations Zenyatta!! What you and your team have done for horse racing and for supporting organizations that help horses in need is wonderful! Your fans are so happy to see you get the recognition you deserve. I hope you get lots of treats and we get to see video of you kicking up your heels again. Please keep us posted on any televised events coming up. We don’t want to miss any opportunity to see you.
