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~

Gorgeous posters!!! It is just wonderful that you are donating the proceeds to charity. I think Penny Chenery is an amazing woman to be doing all this. She is simply wonderful. I love the fact that she appreciates Zenyatta so much. We are in very good company ladies and gentleman.

Zenny I made mistake about the book with pucture of Secretariat on the cover. Its Secretariat’s Meadow by Kate Chenery Tweedy & Leeanne Ladin with a foreword by Penny Chenery. Beautiful painted by Jamie Corum. You & Dottie must write a book!!!

Thanks ladies for the info on how to order, couldn’t pass up the chance to get a poster with Secretariat AND Zenyatta!!! And thanks for making every day brighter for horse fans of every kind. Enjoy your awards day with your BBFs, KY team and long distance with your CA family.
Dani
Thank you for the information regarding the airing of the ceremony on HRTV. I will be hunched in front of my TV inches from the screen taking in every cherished moment. I’ll have a box of my Puffs with lotion next to me just in case. If I was a beer person I’d toast you all at the end with a Guiness. But I don’t like beer. I am a martini girl. So I will toast you with that instead. I’m so proud and happy for you all. :)

By the way, the poster of you and Secretariat looks like a painting that could hang in an art museum. Priceless.
Sharon
William and Kate who???? The real, most important royalty is on the Racing Royalty poster!!! BEEEUUUUTIFUL!!!!!
Megan S
Oh Zenyatta, if I wasn’t short on money, I would so buy that poster. It is so amazing…you AND Secretariat on the SAME poster. It brings tears to my eyes! If only I could spare forty dollars….
Congrats on everything Zenyatta! You truly are a blessed horse!
I love you.
Megan S from Cali <3

Evening Zenyatta,
that is a beautiful picture of you, and also the poster of both of you. Very nice, and affordable for people watching their budget, hope Saturday has a great turnout!:) Also the picture gallery tribute at DRF is great, some pics are too funny, I like the one where you’re having yourself a good bite of palm leaves. Or the one where you’re showing your teeth, wheehee:) And the one where your head is leaning on Mario’s shoulder, is very nice, and so telling of your fondness for each other. Very nice:) :)
Well, it’s almost bedtime, you sleep tight, and sweet dreams of carrots & mints for you.
Angela
Thank you for supporting Canter California. That is where I was able to get my OTTB Eisenheim. All I can say about the CA Canter gals is they are awesome, and the horse I was able to adopt for CA Canter is SOOO AWESOME.
My thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Moss for putting Eisenheim up for adoption, and also supporting the CA Canter program. Eisenheims next career is a great one!
JoAnna Liming
How absolutely divine! I am so glad that we can order them….. I am in Florida and would love to have atleast 2 of them!…..And the proceeds…. It brought tears to my eyes. I have been to Old Friends. The work they do for the Thouroughbred is nothing less than a blessing. They are such wonderful people who truly care for our Equine Atheletes in their retirement. Nothing is too good for them….
Thank you for these diary post. I look forward to them everyday. When I need a smile i can come here.
Much love and blessings.
Yvonne and Maurice Kirby
Hi Zenyatta. We will definitely be watching your ceremony on HRTV and tomorrow, I will order a copy of your poster with Secretariat. Wow, what beautiful pics of you both. Just breathtaking. What great charities Cantor and Old Friends are; may I also suggest The Second Race, Sharla Sanders, right in Arcadia. She and her team do so many wonderful things in their rescue efforts and rehabilitation of horses. Love you so, Angel in disguise. Keep toasty and have fun with your BBFs. You are always in our hearts.
Carrie
Instant tears! My two favorite horses on one picture! You sure know how to make a grown women cry!
Tere Thomas

Cheryl

Mary Alice Kier
So looking forward to being at Santa Anita on Saturday to celebrate Zenyatta’s award, the dream team Zenyatta and of course the great Penny Chenery! I plan to purchase the poster of Racing Royalty – great to have Big Red and Queen Zenyatta together – and supporting Old Friends and Cantor of California!
Jean Moore
Beautiful Zenyatta, Thank you so much for providing the info to purchase this incredibly magnificent poster and litho. I’m on the east coast and cannot attend the award ceremony on Saturday, much to my dismay. My heart is so full of pride for you and your team, it just can’t get better than this. Royalty, indeed!
Linda in NJ
@Mary Alice Kier–I am so jealous!! I wish I could be there too. I hope all that are lucky enough to attend and meet the Zenyatta Dream Team and Mrs. Chenery have a wonderful, wonderful time. I hope there’s a great turnout.

Hi my beauty. I got my Oaklawn bobblehead couple days ago, my HOY photo today, and my HOY hat should be here anytime. Now I check in today and….wow, these posters are to die for. I guess I’ll be taking the hammer to the piggy bank :) A person just has to have them… right?? You and Big Red…my eyes are filling up. Can’t wait for the ceremony..I’ll be watching from Texas. It’s very cold here now Zenny, might have snow on Friday..can u believe that? We never get snow…ever! It will be just like where you are. You know Zen, I would dearly love to have those photos of you and Bernardini that were on the Bloodhorse blog.They were absolutely divine. Are they for sale anywhere? I would buy them in a heartbeat. Those are the ones I truly long for. Stay warm darlin’ and enjoy your award. Always loving you!

Hi Zenyatta, Connections and Everyone!
Gosh I wish I could be at Santa Anita Saturday too. It sounds like so much fun to hang with other fans for the day and see Penny and Team Zenyatta. I have Secretariat’s Time magazine picture with the checkered blinkers on my office wall. He has the cutest expression and the same wonderful eye as Z and B. I ordered the poster on line…if you click on the store to the left of the home page and then click on art it is available there. I will be glued to HRTV and will love to see all of the fans. What exciting times for all of us horse racing fans new and old!
Timmy Todd M.A,
Oh wonderful girl…..and you stood so still for the artist….:) Loving you and the painting as well….We’ll add to the collection of pretty horsies that line wall…..Of course your’s goes on top…..
Above Bid, above Snow Chief,,,,above Alysheba,,, and above them all…..
You are a Goddess and we all think of you often….Thank you BABY GIRL…..You Big Mare~!
Carmela Bozulich
Planning on being there Saturday…have something going in the am but want to try to get one of these, autographed! Awesome!!
Linda Henderson
Such a beautiful poster!
Susie Cartwright
I was lucky enough to see both of you! I hope they never stop informing us about you. You brighten my day!!
Catherine Uher
Just absolutely stunning, both of them! And I absolutely love the name Boo came up with for your first baby… Zenyatariat! After all, Bernardini has Secretariat’s bloodlines in his lineage and the baby’s name should start with the first part of your name since you are the queen! That picture of you and Secratariat side by side is just breathtaking and I would love to have one! Congratulations on this award beautiful girl! No one deserves this more than you! Love you Zenny! :)
