Good Morning,
We are busy planning for Saturday and the Secretariat Award. We have been in touch with Santa Anita and are finalizing the plans.
Dottie has spoken to their TV and Marketing Departments to try and get the answers for your questions. I hope the following information is helpful to you!
The presentation ceremony will be shown on HRTV and the Santa Anita feeds at different racing facilities. It will take place after the 5th race on the card this Saturday, February 5th. This is approximately 2:30 in the afternoon California time.
Earlier in the day, from 11:30—12:30, there will be a tent across from the Santa Anita Gift Shop, where MY TEAM and Mrs. Chenery will be signing posters etc. The poster is showing Secretariat on the left….ME on the right. WE BOTH LOOK SO REGAL! This poster sells for $40.
The Limited Edition Lithograph shown at the TOP of this DIARY will be $100. ‘My proceeds’ in relation to the total sales of these items will be equally split between 2 HORSE RELATED CHARITIES: OLD FRIENDS and CANTER of CALIFORNIA.
If you are out of state and would like to inquire about the poster or lithograph, Santa Anita suggested you go to their web-site…www.santaanita.com. There is something at the top of their web-page about this. Also, they mentioned Chris Crocker, from the Santa Anita Gift Shop, will be able to handle orders and mail purchases to you…if this is your request!
I hope this answers all of your questions! Saturday should be a very special day!
Thank you for your INTEREST! Wow! I can’t tell you what this means to ME!
SECRETARIAT and I are on the same poster…titled…
“RACING ROYALTY”
I truly couldn’t be more PROUD!
Have a wonderful day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Hi Zenny, the name of the poster says it all….Racing Royalty indeed! Congrats on the award, dear Zen. It is well deserved. The poster is GORGEOUS!! You look stunning and I love how you and Secretariat are “looking” at each other.
It is very generous of Team Z to donate your share of the proceeds to such worthy charities. You are all a class act!
I hope you are staying very warm during that monster storm that is traveling across the country.
Love to all,
Leslie

Thank you Dottie for the info and the posts every day keeping us updated on this special girl. What a beautiful poster! The Queen reigns!! Will there be a time when we can purchase more merchandise from this site? I’m interested in a DVD and a t-shirt with Zenny’s photo on it.
Kristen

Barbara Wood
Just bought my “Racing Royalty”. Chris said they are swamped. She has done these poster orders all day–way to go, Zenyatta/Secretariat fans! (She’s not complaining–lol!)
Ingrid in MA
You most certaily ARE Racing Royalty, Zenny!! It’s a BEAUTIFUL poster,and I can’t WAIT to order it! Thank you Dottie for finding out how we can get ahold of it outside of SA!! You Rock!
Love to all of Team Zen, from snowbound Massachusetts! Hey Zenny, I could use someone of your height to get me around in the snow these days – maybe I’d be able to see over the snowdrifts if I were on your back!
Cathy
You two belong together!! Too bad he couldn’t have been on of your boys- a match made in heaven!
Christine Coleman
Hi Zenny, without a doubt you BELONG on a poster next to Big Red. You accomplished what you did on oats, hay and water. You had a great trainer, and amazing owners who selected your trainer not on “Name” and barn population, but on his ethics and skills. And you have one of the best project Managers in Dottie. She is a gem.
Love you Big Girl…Don’t tell John, but I’m still fighting with haters online! LOL I know he doesn’t like it, but I can’t allow folks talkin bad about my girl, Zenyatta!

Ordered both beautiful images of the two greatest horses. every post, every bit of news to us fans is like Christmas. The power of you just keeps on giving and you have no idea how much you have changed the world. You are not in the trenches hearing how strangers from al over are connecting and loving and sharing and making friendships through your greatness and their love and appreciation for you and your Team.
Kathy Kimber
Zenny this is so beautiful. You know Californians are so very proud of you it isn’t just the people at the Orange County Sports Facility or the ladies from the San Pedro Assistance League. These people are all over the state and they should be pround. California has had some really hard times and you have been a beacon of light. Just as you are for all of us. I hope as many as can will attend the ceremony on Saturday and show the world how much we all love you. You are so deserving of this award. You and Secratariat Racing Royalty who else, no one else but you Beautiful lady. Thank you Dottie hope sales are tremendous going to check it all out from my end.

Dear sweet Zenyatta that picture of you with Secretariat made me cry. I loved him as a child and love you as an adult. Like everyone else said the King and Queen how true. Thank you Team Z, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, Dottie and Mrs. Chenery. You are all a very special group of people. I wish I could go to the ceremony but I can’t so I will watch it on TV. Have a good night. I love you beautiful girl. Hugs and Kisses from Shari in Ohio XXXOOO

That’s cool, Big Z!!!!! I am going to write a letter to your owners soon, if I can find their address….. I LOVE you, Big Girl!!! You truly are the queen of racing, the Pride of the Game! Did you like my joke the other day? :D :) :) :D :D I think if Big Red(Secretariat) were still alive today, you two would make the BEST SNARK FOAL in horse-racing HISTORY!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!! Secretariat and Zenyatta….. has a nice ring to it…..
But I think you’ll do just fine with ol’ Berni. :D :) :D
Best wishes to you and all in barn 55,

OMG, this is fantastic! I just ordered a Racing Royalty poster to be mailed to me. Can’t wait to get it, it will go on the wall by my Secretariat poster, and the picture I recently got of you! Utterly incredible! I can’t wait to get it! I just wish I could be at Santa Anita, but it’s just not possible right now.
Kari Bussell
I am so proud of you. You are The Queen. The poster is beautiful…a must have. I am so happy and excited for you and your Team. Wowow!
I love you beautiful!
Linda Moss
Dear Zenny and Dottie,
What beatiful, beautiful artwork of you and Secretariat!! I live in Southern CA and am so very sad that I will not be able to join Team Z and your family this Saturday as I am out of town :(
I just purchased both the lithograph and the print from the gift store. I know this is a tall request – is there any way I can have them signed sometime after your big event? Keeping my fingers crossed I might hear back from you.
In any case, I will be glued to the TV and rooting!!
We love you!
dakota
went onto the santa anita web site but couldn’t find anywhere to order the print–anyone know where I go to do this?
Linda in NJ
Hi Zenny: Wow, the pictures of you are great. I have never seen you take a bad picture. You know what I mean, like having a bad hair day type of pic. You are so beautiful. Secretariat and you are stunning together. I will definitely order a poster. Unfortunately I cannot attend this great event. I am out-of-state. I sure do appreciate Dottie giving us all this wonderful information. I will call my cable company to inquire about HRTV. Sure wish I could be there to meet everyone. Like I said in a previous post, it’s not very often that such famous racehorse owners are together. Hope you had a great day. Love, Linda
Judy Sims
Dear Zenny:
Absolutely stunning pictures of the two greatest races horses ever. True Equine Royalty. I feel so blessed to have experienced both of you and your careers in my lifetime. Thank you so much again for all these wonderful diary posts, Dottie.
Hugs & nose kisses.

You are my only true love Zenyatta because I never got into horse racing until I heard about you on 60 Minutes. But I raised money to give to a farm where they needed for rescue race horses off the track. But you are MY favorite. I def want to see the movie Secretariat though since people love him too. Please stay warm and healthy. I love you!!!
Linda Moss
Dakota – on the Santa Anita site you need to go to the Gift Store and call – that is your best bet.
