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~

Wow! What a lovely poster of you and Secretariat. I wish I could be there on Saturday. My husband and I will be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. Well, I just have to order the poster. Thanks for the update Zenny. I love you.
Kimberly
CAN’T WAIT TO GET YOUR POSTER SIGNED Z. YOUR TEAM IS FABULOUS………. LUV U XOXO
Happy Harriet
Thank you, Zenny and Dottie, for beautiful pictures and information. It’s so exciting to think of this great honor that Penny Chenery is giving Zenyatta.
.
http://champions.stores.yahoo.net/ is what I found as the link for the Santa Anita gift shop where you can find the poster, lithograph, and so many other great offerings! It looks like the posters and lithographs ship after 2/5.
.
HRTVlive.com offers HRTV programming online for high speed internet connections. I’ve checked the listings and the site and I THINK they live stream their programming on the internet and it looks to be the same as their cable shows, but I haven’t called them to verify. For about $10 you can sign up for this for a month, and HOPEFULLY see the events on Saturday – again, don’t quote me but it seems like it from their site. AND you can cancel your membership after a month if you want, and meanwhile, they do have a great number of very appealing shows, including one on February 13 about Ferdinand. I note that one of their sponsors is LANE’S END where our dear Zenyatta has her home!!
.
Hugs and Smooches to the Royal Couple and to Bernardini who is so very handsome.
Chris Stiller
Hi Queen Z,
The Lithograph is so beautiful but I wish they would have shown the white in each of your ears. I think that really makes you special. You are the only horse that I have ever seen that had the “cotton Balls” in your ears. Soooo Cute!
Thank You and your team for all the good that you do for so many.
May GOD Bless,
Chris

WOW! RACING ROYALTY and RACING LEGENDS. Secretariat and Zenyatta – I love both of you.
Zenny, you inspire me to be very generous and donate to charitable causes to benefit both humans and animals. You are truly a gift.

Stunning Portrait!! Picture Perfect and my 2 favourite horses!!! I hope their will be a Queen Z movie! Love Team Z and love Penny hugz
Amanda
how wonderful, the poster is great. That should be the name of your first foal and it would be good for a colt or filly, “RACING ROYALTY”!
Kim
Great picture! It doesn’t get any better than Secretariat & Zenyatta.
Zenny-don’t blow away today! If I see flying horses today I’ll know it’s you. I bet your paddock is really muddy. Time for a mud bath I bet!
Love You
Terri Z
Many thanks for the information about the lithograph and poster available at Santa Anita gift shop. I spoke to the lovely Chris Crocker at the gift shop; she told me that arrangements are being made for having the Zen-Secretariat poster signed by Ron Turcott and Mike Smith on their respective pictures. It will be available on Secretariat.com. If only more horsemen and women were like Ms. Chenery and the Mosses. Thanks for your hard work Dottie.
Terri Z
The video of the Mosses and Penny Chenery will most certainly be on You Tube.com.
Videos are usually posted about a day later.
Nancy
It’s absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I want to get one. Two of my favorite horses!
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
very SecZ!! Can’t wait to add this beautiful poster to my collection. I already have a stunning lithograph of “Big Red” in his paddock after his racing days & several of course of YOU – now you’re together! So unexpected and awesome! Thanks ONCE AGAIN to your wonderful Team Z. They continue to give, give, give and make racing dreams come true for fans & bring aid & awareness to the cause of horses in need. LOVE & HUGS
Jenna
Oh my goodness how wonderful! HRTV…I get TVG? What an honor. Two greats together. Really truly. I’m so happy and proud of our Zenyatta. I cannot wait for the ceremony.

Are you getting all of this snow in KY?
Stay warm & safe…maybe while you have to be inside due to the weather, Charles can hook up the movie of Secretariat & let you girls watch it today with some yummy snacks!
XOXO
PS can anyone tell me what the “hip # ” refers to…thanks
Dani
Sorry to bring such awful news to such a joyous diary post but it is of an urgent nature. This appeared on Uncle Mo’s Facebook page:
.
IF (Mo) knows anyone or wants a baby brother or sister FYI – 52 thoroughbred horses need homes. Will go to Sugarcreek this Saturday for slaughter. Gentleman died and his son wants nothing to do with them. Most broodmares are broke and some are in foal weanling, yearlings, 2 yrs and 3 yrs old most are gelded. FREE and papered. Friend of the deceased is trying to find homes 440-463-4288 or 440-463-4288 Barnesville, OH. Please copy and paste this on your status! PLEASE HELP!
Trudy Schossler
LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND KNOW THAT YOU DESERVE THIS GREAT AWARD, WILL BE GETTING THE POSTER

Absolutely splendid artwork of two incredible beings!
Heather Myers
Beautiful poster. Both of you have the Look Of Eagles! How fortunate I have been to have seen you both!
Sue Fredrick
@Dani, thank you for posting this I just got the news too and thought I’d post it here even tho this is such a happy site, the message needs to get out right away. You never know if someone knows someone who knows someone that can help. NO HORSE DESERVES THIS. And if Zenyattas noteriety can help I’m sure she would approve. Let’s post it again on todays new post when it comes out. Luv those TBs
Holly Zemba

Pattie from Pickens, SC
YAHOO !! I just ordered my print through Santa Anita Gift Shop!! The print is BEAUTIFUL :) Now, if we can just get Mario Espenosa the “Groom of the Year” Award…..Everything will be perfect!! Thank You, Penny for recognizing America’s Queen!!

A “hip#” is assigned to every horse entered in a sale, and they are listed by that # in the catalog. It is literally a tag stuck on both hips. Georgeous pictures Z. I hope you sell millions for charity! Thank you for your generosity.
Linda
Zenyatta, Bloodhorse.com has a great video from The Darley Farm Owner where your intended Bernardini resides.
Wonderful shots of Bernardini high stepping to
pose for pictures, and Zenyatta, he has a fancy quick step trot just like you do. He has kind big eyes and he exudes being as proud of himself as you do. He holds his head high and looks every bit as aware and interested in his surroundings as you. And i believe he likes to have his photo taken also!
He is truly a good looking fella’ Zen and
Team Z picked a winner for you.
Love the idea of a percentage of the proceeds of the new poster going to Old
Friends and Canter of California.
Sally L. Hopkins
It’s beautiful! Zenyatta you’re the GREATEST! Have a wonderful day! xoxoxoxo
Linda in NJ
@ Linda: Thanks for letting us know about the Bloodhorse.com video of Bernardini. He is handsome!!!! And so cute to see him prancing along.
Astrid
That poster is just gorgeous!! You both look so regal! I know this will be a hot-seller! Wished I could be there but happy for everyone who gets to go:) Hope Ann will be tango-ing with you on the big day, Zenny! Have fun!
Here is a lovely blog of your fiancé:

He not only has the dance steps, he has a great personatlity too on top of being drop dead gorgeous! What a match!
Jean Moore
@Dani and all horse fans and friends of Zenyatta. I just phoned the farm in Ohio with the 52 TB’s that needs a home. Happily, all 52 have been adopted. YIPPEE!
Sue Fredrick
@Jean, oh that is great news just think it was partly Zen’s website and the wonderful communication thru these sites that have saved the lives of these fabulous animals. Just goes to show you what a group of animal lovers can do if they put their minds to it. YIPPEE.
Dani
@Jean – oh thank you, thank you for that wonderful news. I was so upset. Giving what you can and spreading the word really does make a difference. Yippee from me too!!!
