Good Morning Everyone,
It’s been a busy, busy few days…for sure! Today is the SUPER BOWL…and we are very excited. P.Q. and I have been really looking over the stats for the GAME and the strategies we would apply to try and decide WHO we think will win! Oh, how I love SPORTS!
Well, after much thought and analysis…I really can’t decide who I like the best. I guess it comes down to just LOVING THOSE ADORABLE FANS from Green Bay who will WEAR THOSE BIG HUNKS OF CHEESE ON THEIR HEADS.
As an individual who LOVES the way all of my FANS SUPPORTED ME…I must say that is what is so fabulous with GREEN BAY! So…I’ve gotta’ love them for this reason.
Speaking of fans…yesterday was amazing. My TEAM, my FANS and Mrs. Chenery are so special! The ceremony was delayed a bit…until after the 6th race. So sorry we did not know this in advance to alert you. I guess this is part of LIVE ACTION on TV. But…everything was fabulous and the day was one to remember! I will share photos John took with you soon.
For now, Dottie did get the special YOU TUBE link from Santa Anita…HRTV for YOU!
Click HERE! Please enjoy!
AND…HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! I better go get my CHEESE HEAD HAT on…to watch the game! (I love this TEAM SPIRIT FAN ENTHUSIASM stuff! It is GREAT FUN!)
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

Thanks for the link so we could all see the presentation yest. It was so lovely, and so well deserved. You have the BEST team ever! We are blessed to be able to witness history in the making as you became the first ever recipient of this award. I really wish they would make a movie about you, you are and will always be a STAR!

Dear Z– You and PQ are adorable having your paddock chats! The presentation yesterday was outstanding. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the thought that our pristine Lady Z actually bucks and rears. What a girl. SO glad to see you having fun.
Hats off to Christine Crocker at Santa Anita for e-mailing a report on our orders, despite the “swamping” they got by the Zenyatta Nation. Way to go! And speaking of troopers, our Dottie and John may not be able to write for weeks after signing all those pieces of art. We cannot thank you enough for keeping us connected.
And last but not least, congratulations to Zasu on her win. I was surprised that she has a different trainer (John Sadler).
You all are the best.
May all the Super Bowl players come out of the game healthy.

Thanks for the updates.They are great. Just a note. A few years ago I ran into Mrs. Chenery at Louie’s in Paris and asked if she would autograph a Reeves print of Secretariat that I had framed in my office at home. She gave me her address and I mailed it to her. To my surprise she not only autographed it but sent it to Ron Turcotte paid the shipping and mailed it back to me insured. Another show of class much like Z’s loving connections. We need more people like this in our sport and people that realize every racehorse is a celebrity and a superstar.

Rooting for the cheesheads here, too, Z….

Thanks for sharing the film. I really enjoyed it. Mrs. Chenery is amazing. And I love Steve Haskin’s photo.

Yesterday’s ceremony honoring Zenyatta for being so popular with all of her fans was indeed lovely and moving. It was appropriate to hear the sincere words from Ms. Chenery and the delightful Mosses. My one wish is that there had been something said or done to honor Dottie’s enormoous contribution to the ongoing spirit and enthusiasm of Z’s fan base. At this stage in Zenyatta’s life, I think Dottie deserves the lion’s share of the thanks. THANK YOU, DOTTIE!!!!!
Lorey
Wonderful time yesterday at Santa Anita. Had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mrs. Chenery, Team Zenyatta and jockey Mike Smith. Have the beautiful print signed by everyone. I will treasure it always.
Selene McCarthy
Such a precious picture of you and your girl friend, P.Q.! Love you Z! Dottie is the Super bowl winner!

Now THAT would be a sight – Zenyatta with a hunk of cheese on her head! LOL! What a GREAT video – wish I’d been able to see it first hand. But THANK YOU DOTTIE for getting it for us – it is SO greatly appreciated! And congratulations to all of TEAM Z on this awesome award! So deserved, so glad Zenny and the Team is getting the recognition they so rightfully deserve!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
And since my cute Patriots aren’t in it anymore, I’ll go with Zenny and say GO GREEN BAY!!
Wendy Bratten
Congratulation to you pretty Zenyatta. Your eyes look so soft and relaxed in this photo of you and your friend PQ.

Hi, Z-girl, It was wonderful to see you be recognized once again for your contributions to the sport, which have been tremendous. I realized something, though: the bar has been set pretty high for who qualifies for this award! Not many will be able to get anywhere close to the impact you had on the sport and the fans who came to the sport because of you. I’m guessing the award probably won’t be able to be given every year, although, I believe fans will have a say in the voting in the future. You were such a stand-out, hands-down favorite, you were the unanimous choice for sure this year. I’m getting excited about your half-sister, Ebloissante, who will be shipped to John this year. She will be starting her first races about the time you have your first foal! And, she has so many of your personality traits! She’s being described as a very special horse, primarily because her mama is the same as yours! I’m beginning to think that your mama has some very good and very strong bloodlines that she’s passing along to her daughters! No horse will ever take your place, though, Zen, and I can’t tell you how much I miss seeing you fly around the track. I’m very happy for you getting to do real “horse” stuff…it was so nice to see more video of you in your paddock with your friends! We still haven’t been able to see you roll around in the dirt!!!! I can’t wait to see that some day soon. I think that will be so much fun! Hugs. Your friend, Ann Maree

Zen, I was one of those wondering what happened but I hung in there because I knew they would not overlook our Queen. The ceremony was very nice, and Mrs. Chenery is still a wonderful ambassador for racing which why she also wanted to honor you. I absolutely loved the video of you playing in the paddock with your BFFs bucking and galloping around. I did notice you didn’t forget us and came in for close ups! Hugs and kisses sweet girl.

Hi Zenny, that is a very cute pic of you and PQ! It is fun talking about sports with a good friend. I’ll be cheering for the Packers too.
Thanks, Dottie, for getting the special Youtube link to yesterday’s ceremony! You are awesome!! You always make sure that all of us are happy. I truly appreciate all that you do. I love Zenny and you make it so easy to still follow her. She brings so much joy to my life.
Enjoy the big game!
Love to all,
Leslie
Joy
My girl, you looked absolutely mahvelous in your video!! It was so great to see Mrs Chenery and of course the rest of your family up there. Hopefully, one day, my daughter Laura, and I can come and visit you in Kentucky… We both love you so very much. Enjoy the Superbowl… I’m with you, Go Packers!!

Dear Zenny
Love that pic of you and Pirate Queen. You are
really talking. Your right ear is forward and your left
Is facing toward her. Glad you have such a fun
frisky friend. After all you are a very young playful
champion thoroughbred race horse. Hope someone
gets you a cheese hat. How funny!!!!!
Have a great day!!! Watching HRTV today some
good races and competitions.

This should work. Go to this page, then follow instructions below link:

Right-click the button underneath the file name, choose “open in new window”, then wait a minute for the file to load up.
Sorry, I’m still a newbie doing this type of thing…
This seemed to work… :D

Hi Zenny:
How funny imagining you wearing a cheese head! You are more the “Crown” or “Tiara” type. Yes, you certainly do have fans by the thousands. The ceremony yesterday was so classy and the trophy is beautiful and your video was such fun to experience. Thanks Dottie for all your efforts on our behalf. You are the greatest. Hope you gals at Lane’s End enjoy the Super Bowl and I hear that Budweiser has another great commercial and those clydesdales are really something. Big, handsome dudes.
Hugs & nose kisses.

Hi Zenny, I was at Santa Anita yesterday for your award event. I saw your video there, very nice. You certinly was pretty active and playfull. That was great. The video did not show good on my computer. I bought the poster of Secretariat and you and got it sighned by penny and your Z- connections. Penny looked great and I got to meet Ann, Jerry, John, Dottie and Mike. I had my picture taken with Mike once but never met the other connections before. It was a great honor to meet Penny and shake her hand. It was a wonderful day and many of your usual fans were all there, the only thing missing was you Zenyatta. I will always miss seeing you when going to the races. Stay happy sweet Zenny and always keep your great spirit. Love you.
Jenna
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, gorgeous!
A wonderful weekend for you and yours. The ceremony was fantastic…and you looked so cute running and kicking. I love it. I’m so happy for you.
Happy Sunday, girly!

Zenny, I watched the vox Populi awards ceremony on YouTube. Avery well-deserved award for you and Team Z. It was great to see Ms. Penny Chenery and daughter Kate Tweedy if only on video. I’m so glad you have PQ as your buddy. You look good relaxing and bonding in the photo.
Keep your hooves crossed and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a PACKERS win.

Pirate Queen is so lovely though she needs a little bit of an eyebrow wax:) What a wonderful friend you have made and have much fun you all are going to have in 2011! I like how you two buck and play. Still hoping for the roll in the mud photo. We recognize there probably isn’t any mud as it probably is all frozen now.
Bridget
Ya Zen, get your cheese hat on!
Dani
Judging by the video I think Zenny and P.Q. already have the endzone touchdown celebration moves down.(I’m pretty sure it is P.Q. she is doing the chest bump with – correct me if I am wrong). I don’t know about any of you but I am developing a little crush on Pirate Queen. What an adorably sweet face. ….You know, I just got this image of Zenyatta and her friends with cheese hats on their heads, scarfing down carrots, throwing back a few Guiness and high hoofing the Packers at 1st and goal to go.

O.K.
