Good Morning Everyone,
It is so much fun to be starting a wonderful new week!
David has been in Florida visiting Mayberry Training Center looking at the newly turned 2 year olds for the last several days. He is returning to KY soon and will be able to spend time with ME again. (My Team is always on the job monitoring ALL of us…no matter what state we are residing in at the time.) Sarah had a nice weekend off…so well-deserved…and she is back on the job today. Charles and Donna and all of my Lane’s End Friends have been here with me….sharing all of the current news.
MY CA TEAM is doing well and working away with all of my Barn 55 Friends. It is so much FUN when you LOVE WHAT YOU DO…and they are having a GREAT TIME…enjoying ALL OF US!
Recently, I showed you the prototype for Nina Kaiser’s BRONZE of ME! Well, Nina and her friend, Karol BalIard, did a YOU TUBE showing how I MEASURED UP! As I’ve mentioned before, NINA spent a great deal of time doing ALL of my measurements and taking photos of every single INCH of me before I left CA! As a sculptor, she wanted to be completely prepared to be able to recreate MY BODY IN PERFECT SCALE.
In the YOU TUBE…you see her doing some of this ‘homework’ for my BRONZE. She sent it to Dottie this morning for all of us to share!

Enjoy…and the song is too cute as well!
Happy Monday…and YEAH…MY SECRETARIAT AWARD on Saturday…and SUPER BOWL on Sunday! I just feel this is the start of a GREAT WEEK!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

We love you Zenyatta! Will the bronzes be available to the public to buy?

You have a great week too, Zenyatta. I read your posts everyday and I enjoy them so much.
Sally L. Hopkins

Dear Zenny,
The sculpture of you is going to be beautiful!
I read your diary every day. So many people look forward to this.
Speaking of the Super Bowl, it would cute to see a photo of you with a Steelers Terrible Towel. :)
Have a great Monday.
Hugs and Kisses from Ohio.

Good morning Z. So glad you are having such a good time with your Lane’s End friends. Can’t wait to see the bronze of you-it will be beautiful just like you! Hope your having a wonderful day. Love you xxoo
Stephanie Hauge
so with all these work for a life like sculpture, are we planning on a life size bronze to be done at Santa Anita or Hollywood Park maybe?? I think its only fitting you get your own statue big girl :)
Joy
Morning Sweet Girl – I watched you on HRTV’s “Inside Information” this morning. They were showing you getting ready for the ’09 BC classic. It was so wonderful to relive it. All your Barn 55 family was in it, and Mike of course. So when its time for you to have your date with Bernardini, is he coming over to your house, or are you going to his? Have a wonderful day. It’s forecast to snow here in Beaumont, TX this week!!!
Julie Anderson
Thanks for the diary posts. They really mean a lot. I would give up my day job as a legal secretary to be able to come and work with you! You are so fabulous Queen Z! I love you Zenyatta!!!!

I’ll have to google the Secretariat award, Z. Didn’t know about that one. From one awesome horse to another. I love the way Penny Chenery wouldn’t give up on her support for Secretariat, even when it got really tough. The 70s wasn’t a time when women could be in control very easily. The fact you are an awesome mare and could hold your own and beat the boys is one of the things I find so endearing about you Z. Let’s hear it for the girls, let’s give the girls a hand. Congrats on your new award, and btw…one of the other things I am so crazy about is your beautiful height. Stand tall, my beauty. xoxo

To be the first recipient of the Secretariat Award is such an Honor, one only you could fill, :) I am so proud of you Sweet Girl. You will carry his heirs….The history of it takes my breath away. Someday your foal will have every great horse’s blood flowing through it, whether or not it makes it to the track or not, it will carry the most beloved memories…someone will run thier hand down his or her mane and think, This is Zenyatta’s baby, he or she has Secretariat’s blood in her, Seatle Slew, Mr. Prospector,Nasrullah,Nashua, all the way to the Darley Arabian…and all will be right with the world. :)I am so honored to have been able to see you race and give you love x0x0x0x0 from Maine

Hey, beautiful Zenyatta!!! How about a little foal named ” IndyscribableZen “. A nod to you,the mom and grand dad, A P Indy and of course the fact that it will be written about like no other! (Except you of course). And what about sharing a little more about your wonderful friend Dottie? Especially how she and her son David became so proficient in the field of bloodstock, etc… Blessings to your future as mom, you will be the best.

SANTA ANITA FEB 5. If you are going, please show Zenyatta’s giving ways have inspired you by taking a gently used book, DVD. New office/stationary supplies. New toiletries. Items will be donated to the Zenyatta Lounge for Women. See diary post http://www.zenyatta.com/news/diary-post-40 where Zenny told us all about it. When you get to the track, ask any staff to direct you to the Marketing Office (Allen Guttermans office) where we can drop off. Even if 25 people take 1 book, 25 books are a nice start for a lending library for the ladies. Would be great if you could find any novels in Spanish, ask your friends & co-workers. The donations will be made to the Lounge in the name of Zenyatta.com fans. So L.A., lets take some nice items to represent all our friends on this site, you probably won’t even need to leave the house to come up with 1 or 2 of these items. It will be a nice gesture to show the Moss’es we really appreciate all they do for horses and humans, including us, we are so lucky they share their beloved Zenyatta with us to this extent. Making a quick detour to the Marketing Office is the least we can do. Hope to see some of you there.

Hi ~Z! Last night I watched an HRTV encore program of you and Rachel’s 1st start of 2010. I could watch replays of your races over and over, they still give me goosebumps each time I watch them! This season won’t be the same without having your races to look forward to but am so happy I can stay updated on you here. I read every one of your posts and am looking forward to keeping track of your life as you become a mommy! Love you Z!
MintHillFarm
I don’t think there could be a more pleasant horse to be around than you, Z.
Allen
Z, I just want to thank you and Dottie for the diary post. I read them everyday. Hope you have a great week. Love from Tennessee.
Maryann
Love those diary posts, they keep us in the loop with all of your activities.
Hope us fans can somehow get copies of your bronze statuette. And your posters from your most deserved Vox Populi award.
I know your team is taking very good care of you and your friends. Keep safe, well and warm. Hugs and kisses on your soft nose.
J Smith
SANTA ANITA FEB 5. If you’d like to meet there, we could have the Zenyatta.com cheering section for the award presentation. Meet in paddock at end of 4th race, wear your Z gear or pink. You can conntact me if you’d like to make a better meet up plan, zenyatta fans at yahoo, no spaces of course.
Candace Westlake
I love to read your diary – thank you for keeping us all informed. You have so many fans! And we all want to hear about YOU. Hug to you Z!
Janet
Hi Zenny,
I’m glad to hear that you’re happy and doing well. I enjoyed watching the youtube video and as an Astaire fan, I thought the song was perfect. I wish I could be “cheek to cheek” with you. You’re very deserving of the Secretariat award. When will we be able to buy a DVD of you?
Marcee
Oh Zenyatta I just LOVE reading about you everyday and wish I could actually meet you. Thank you so much Team Z for letting us into Zenny’s life.
Linda Deutsch
You are such a kind and loving horse, Z. Reflective of all the wonderful folks associated with you. Wouldn’t life be perfect if we were all treated that way? You and they are inspirational.
sherry drish
WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HEAR HOW LIFE IS GOING WITH AMERICAS SWEETHEART. THINGS ARE NEVER BORING WITH HORSES. WE LOVED THE PIECE OF ART WORK NINA DID, ITS YOUR MEASURMENTS THAT IS SO INTERESTING TO ME. YOU MAYBE TALL BUT YOU ARE VERY GIRLY . WE CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR YOU TO HAVE YOUR FOAL.. LOVE TO ALL, SHERRY D.
Kristen
I saw somewhere that Switch was “discovered” by David, too. It’s fun to know when Team Z is involved in great racehorses even if they aren’t owned by the Mosses and/or trained by John. I love hearing about horses Zenyatta has beat doing really well – it means the horses she raced against in California were great, too! (Most of us already knew that, though.) Dottie, I don’t know how you have the energy to come up with new posts so often. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate being kept in the loop!
Anna Wiley
Glad to hear you’re doing well! That statue sounds REALLY COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, Zenny! I have a question. I got a bunch of pictures of you off Google. In a lot of them, you were STICKING OUT YOUR TONGUE!!!!!! Super-cute!!!!!! I was wondering WHY you do it? On that note, though, >:D I made up a JOKE!!!!!! Here it is:
Why are rude children and Zenyatta alike?
THEY BOTH STICK OUT THEIR TONGUES!!!!!!!!
You like? :D
Luv,
Anna
P.S.-IT’S ALMOST FEBRUARY!!!!!!! WHAT THE HOLY COW!?!?!?! Time REALLY DOES fly.
victoria
can’t wait for the bronzeeeee of you —
Cynthia
Zenyatta, you are the Super Bowl, the World Series, Wimbledon, and the Masters all rolled into one! I wouldn’t trade one of your thrilling races for all of them put together! Your statue will really be something!
I am so looking forward to your award ceremony on Saturday, and cannot wait to see your wonderful California family at Santa Anita!
You are the North Star in our sky!
