Hello,
Wow! What a great game yesterday! Both teams played so well. I think it had to be the love of “CHEESE” that made the difference. (Too cute!)
Being a FAN is such FUN! Normally during the time I was racing…I had to focus on my training and racing career. Now, that I have some free time, I’m able to do the FAN THING and it is terrific!
I have 2 very loyal fans from the Mid-West. They are Paul Soto and Brian Matney. Brian lives in Texas…and he and Paul would fly in to see me at the barn and watch me run! They both collect a great deal of ZENYATTA memorabilia…and it looks like I AM A HUGE PART of BRIAN’S decor! Based on the photo above, sent to Dottie, Brian has great taste in decorating…if I say so myself!
I truly want to thank the vast number of fans who were at Santa Anita on Saturday for the presentation. So many wonderful people waited for hours in line to buy the RACING ROYALTY Poster and My Lithograph. As a matter of fact, the GIFT SHOP even ran out of them!
I think Santa Anita was totally surprised by the large turn-out! I’m not! I truly know how fabulous all of you are…and I have felt your LOVE and DEVOTION for such a very long time now!
Have a fun Monday!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Dear Queen Z,
You look fabulous as a Cheese Head, but then you could wear anything and still look like royalty! :)
I’ve often wondered if you realize how truly loved you are by us fans. Now I know that you can feel the waves of affection we’re sending out to you, dear girl.
Have a happy day with your girlfriends!
Love and kisses to you,
Stel

Hey Zenny!
We missed your gorgeous butt at Santa Anita! I walked around with a poster that included photos of you (dah, of course!) I had someone ask me if you were running… LMAO!
It was wonderful to see your “family”. I spent HOURS talking to other Zenyatta fans :-)
Speaking of your memorabilia ~ I need to add rooms so I can have more wall space, sweetie!
HUGS & KISS XOXO

Zenny, the only thing missing on Saturday at Santa Anita was you. But you were on everyone’s minds. It was so much fun talking to Secretariat’s mom- she told me he was a LOT like you- loved to pose for pictures and loved his fans too. Talking to your “mom and dad” was fun- I admired your mom’s beautiful “Z” pin, and and she admired my “Z” tshirt!. Hearing John talk about you and your half sister, (he told me she was a lot like you!) and Dottie and I had a great time talking about you and your blog. I asked Mike how I could get a couple of photos I have of you and him signed and he told me to bring them anytime. Yay! Wish you could have been there to see Zazu run too. I think she’s been studying your races, because she came out last from the gate, and won the Las Virgenes! It was fun seeing you and gal pals playing in the mud too! Love you lots, and miss you tons!
Kirren
You are definitely a part of my decor, Z! Hope you’re having a fantastic Monday!
Go Pack!
Gloria
Oh Big Mama Z. If you could have only seen that line at Santa Anita for the signing. Whew! It was so great getting to talk to your family. They are so wonderful! Now I know where you get it from! Love the pic of you with your hat! Only you could look that adorable as a cheesehead. Big kisses to you. And thanks to your west coast connections for being T.H.E. B.E.S.T.!!!
Elaine
LOL! Z, you are SO CUTE! You really know how to pick the winners! First Bernardini and then the Packers.
My sister was at Santa Anita and got a poster for me. I couldn’t attend. She was thrilled to meet Penny (who even commented on the Secretariat shirt my sister was wearing). Everyone was so nice to her and she was thrilled to have the chance to chat a short time with Penny, Ann, Jerry, Dottie and Mike. My framed poster will be hanging in my home office!
Delores
Oh Zenny, you look so cute in your cheese hat. I too am glad the Packers won. I ordered your Lithograph and Racing Royalty from the Gift Shop, I hope I will get it.
You had so many fans at Santa Anita, I was there and watching your pictures on the big screen of you at your new home, brought tears to my eyes. I love you so much and you deserve all the attention the fans give you, you beautiful girl. Have fun and keep playing and Dottie thank you so much for keeping us up to date on what our precious girl is doing.
Love you lots Zenyatta, lots of XOXOXOXO.
Melinda
As fat as decor….I’m waiting for Fat Head to come out with a photo for my wall. I think a life size Zenyatta on my office wall would be awesome!!
Jan Doyle
Zenny, you are the cutest cheese head I have ever seen. I seem to have the same decor as Brian has. I guess all your fans just have very good taste. Love you big girl. Have fun playing today.
Carolyn
I stood in line for 2 1/2 hours to get my posters signed – and it was WORTH IT! Thank you to all the Z crew and Penny Chenery. I’ll never forget meeting you all!
Dawn Deems
Please thank HRTV for making the Vox Populi award presentation available online (and so quickly). Since I couldn’t be at Santa Anita, it still felt like I was right there. I enjoyed the footage of Zenny in her paddock and finally got to see her DIRTY! Haha. My mare loves to roll in the mud too. Have a fantastic Monday.
Hugs and kisses from Ohio

Barbara
This is way too cute! I love the photos!! How fun:)) Thanks Queen Z!
Sarah Powell
What a good fan you are, Zenny! Hope they’re printing up more posters to fill all those online orders – can’t wait to get mine! I’ve got a major scrapbook filled with all your articles, pictures, etc. but the poster is going on the wall in my office. Thanks, as always, Dottie for continuing to keep all of us in Queen Z’s life!

J Smith
Zenny, have you noticed you have an extra 600 fans on Facebook since the weekend? Must be the cheese!
Joy Murdock
The BEST looking Cheesehead EVER!!!!!
Mary Stanford

Aaron Rogers is from Chico and we couldn’t be more prod of him winning the Super Bowl. I told everybody you were a fan and we all feel that’s what helped the Packers win. :)
Dona
prod is nice but we’re also proud of him! :)

This clip could describe your career on the track, Zenyatta, complete with your new Secretariat memorial, VOP Award as the MVP!! You wrote your own story, too.
From Milwaukee’s Journal/Sentinel online,
http://www.jsonline.com/
“…Poised, unflappable and resilient on professional football’s biggest stage, Aaron Rodgers wrote his own legendary story Sunday and accomplished something Brett Favre never did: win a Super Bowl MVP…”
Mary
I hope someday I will be able to see you, and also your Team, in person. Hopefully there will always be Zenyatta “events” for your fans. We love you so, Zenyatta. We can’t get enough of you. I listen to TVG as I work, and they just replayed your 2009 Breeder’s Cup Classic race. I have watched it so many times. (I am heartbroken over the 2010 race, so I can’t watch it, even tho it was one of your best races, you could have won, it was so close)I just love your 2009 Classic so much! You will run forever in the recordings, so I will watch you dance your way to the track and put on your show. Thanks again to Dottie for helping you with your daily news. Hugs and Prayers
Roxanne Cook
What an adorable photo! I’m glad the Packers beat the Steelers as well (even tho I’m a diehard 49ers fan). Just a comment on your HRTV video: hope Lane’s End is going to give you a little training before your date so that you’re hobble-broke when the big day arrives. You sure don’t want to scare your handsome beau Bernardi.
Lauren
Dear Zenny – Very cute for the Packers. I see you are a true fan of theirs. I loved the ceremony on Saturday. I caught it on the HRTV website. Everyone looked so happy. You are the best!!
Hugs and Kisses
Nancy
Zenyatta———-you are always on the side that is winning!!!!!!!!!
