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~

Your Royal Highness Queen Z,
I was there on Saturday and I was wonderful. I now am the proud owner of a Racing Royalty poster with all the appropriate authographs — except of course YOURS!!!!!!!!! Your Team Z people and Mrs. Chenery were all so gracious and wonderful. I now also have a Zenyatta 2011 calendar that I can sit and look at in my office every day and see what you are up to! I really enjoyed the video of you shown at Santa Anita. You were kicking up your heels! I love the fact that you and Bernardini have now been officially designated a “power couple” and have your own special name: Bernyata, although I think Zendini would also have worked well. Take care you beautiful girl you!

I love the cheese lol, you’ll always be my #1 Zenyatta

Thank you very, very much to Ms. Penny Chenery and the Zenyatta Team for an amazing day Saturday.
A signed poster of Big Red & Queen Z, lithograph of Queen Z, signed cap of Secretariat and a book of Meadows Farm. WHATTA SCORE!! The day was bitter-sweet because you were not there to accept the 1st Annual Secretariat Voix Populi Award. But to add to all of the excitement of the day Zazu WON her race with the same come from behind form you have. Definitely a day to remember. THANK YOU!!!!

I too have a wall covered with Zenyatta photos – one of my very favorites is Zenyatta with Mario and Carmen at LE. The tenderness is Queen Z’s eyes just warms my heart every time I look at it.
Congratulations to Team Z for all the well-deserved awards and thank you for continuing to connect us, the fans, to that most wonderful to creatures – ZENYATTA

@JSmith: How did it go with donations to the Ladies’ Lounge? Such a wonderful idea.
I hope lots of local fans obliged.

Love Zenny- I too am a huge fan. I have every article that the DRF has written about you. I have photos from almost all your races that I took myself from race 6 on, before live races, I saw you on TVG! John let me watch you practice 4 times at Hollywood Park. I got your Litho and Side by Side! Too Cute! I have more- but that’s enough for now. Love You!! Hugs

I live in Tucson so I was not able to go to Santa Anita on Saturday. But my son lives within walking distance with my parents while he’s going to collage. So he went for me on Sat. He’s the best son ever. And a Zenyatta fan as well. He knew I wanted a poster for my birthday, which in a couple days. He got the very last one that was signed by everyone. He got there early but the line was already so long. But he stuck it out for me and got me the poster! Zenny I hope your kids are as wonderful as my son is! love you!
Amanda
well as soon as i get enough money im going to buy me some personalized converse that say I <3 ZENYATTA on them and her silk colors!! cant wait!
Marion
Zenny you are tooo much …. a cheesehead…LOL to funny..can’t wait to see what you wear for the Kentucky Derby
Lots of love and big hug
Dawn Conrad
Dearest, Zenny. What a cute football fan you are! And of course your team just had to win, with you cheering them on. I am so happy that Saturday was such a great success and that so many people showed up at the signing and had such a good time. Team Z and Ms. Chenery are so loved by the fans, it is no wonder that the line was long and that everything was sold out. Each of them has given so much to the horseracing industry and to us. And they never stop, continuing to do more and more each and every day. Just lov’um! Thank you again Dottie!!!! Bye for now sweet girl, it’s back to work for me. Hugs and kisses.

Best looking Cheese Head ever. Z you are the best.

Zenyatta,
You look very chic in your cheese head hat.
I bet the other Queen of England is jealous. lol. Liked the Lane’s End video of you and all your gal pals. You can tell who the leader of the pack is.. Love & kisses from Houston. xoxo
Jody
Ohhh Zeee so cute… Love from Indiana!!!
Henrietta Wolfe
Zenyatta, YOU look stunning in your cheese head hat. But, you look stunning period. I was for the Steelers, love those towels, but it was a good game and my Steeler hat is off to the Packers. I have had my Steeler hat since the 60’s. You are such a sports fan and I love it. I have to tell you though none of it even comes close to you racing career. YOU SIMPLY ARE THE BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST. I love you and will be waiting for your next post. YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND, YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND!!!! xoxoxox
Sheri
Thats really cute Zenyatta! I wish I could’ve been there when you got the award! Love you!!! :D
Ann Maree
Hi, Z-girl,
It was a beautiful ceremony, and watching the new video of you was really great! You look really good, even with a few extra pounds! I understand it’s good to carry a few extra pounds for when your mommy-hood happens. I was rooting for Green Bay, too, which is unusual for me, since, having spent many years in Dallas, both teams played the spoiler to Dallas on more than one occasion. However, I watched an interview with Aaron Rodgers and was so impressed with that young man and that’s how I decided to root for Green Bay. Also, what did you all think about “Jerry’s World”! Isn’t that stadium amazing! Texas is a special place, as is Dallas.
Zazu was great, and also, I saw that a horse of John’s won a race, Gonelikeahurricane! Have a good day, Zen…Hugs! Your friend, Ann Maree
Dylan
I just love reading your posts Zenny!! They really make my day and my my heart smile :D Go Packers! No surprise that you would pick the winning team! Your pic today is just adorable! I’ truly sorry I couldn’t make it Saturday, I wish I could have but just couldn’t make it and I’m sorry I couldn’t. TV had to do. Thanks for writing Zenny look forward to your next post! With love
Barb France

Dottie- When will the rest of the footage shot by HRTV of Zenyatta playing in her paddock be released to the “Fans”? I would love to see more of her playing around with her friends.
Thanks again for setting this up with the Moss’s and Lane’s End and of the course the Film Crew.
Thank you for setting up the autograph session with Team Zenyatta, Penny Chenery, and Santa Anita, YOU ROCK!!!!
You have done such a great job and I can’t thank you enough. You are Zenny’s Penny of our times and for that I am forever grateful. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I can’t say it enough.

Pamela J Hebert
Zenny you look too cute wearing your Cheese Head Hat!!! I’m from Pittsburgh & the Packer’s played a great game & deserved to win. I love pins will there be a Z pin made that you can sell like Ann’s? Brian has quite a flair for decorating. Congratulations to Zazu!!!
Waiting for Zendini or Bernyatta
Santa Anita of all places should have known better.
Gloria Jeanne
Oh, and I love the “CheeseHead!!!! Thanks for posting fan photos on the site. It’s great to see how loved Zenny is by so many people. I know I have seen them at the track. I would get there and get my spot before everyone else would show up, and it’s amzaing to see the images I have taken of before and during Zenny Day’s at Del Mar, Hollywood Park and Santa Anita… Simply Amazing. And to hear regular everyday track goers say-“What are all these people doing here” is always fun to reply back… “Zenyatta is running today” And they would be amazed too. It was such a great time to meet new people and share stories… oh it was too cute!! Go CHEESEHEADS- Zenny, thanks for giving me a team to root for this year,
my team blew out a long time ago.
Love
christine
Zen,
You look like a true fan. Love It !! I got my Z cap today and I swear I can see the computer better. HAIL TO THE QUEEN. No matter what you have on , roses, cheese, mud, diamonds.You are beautiful.
Barbara Wood
Truly, a day without you is like a day without sunshine. You are the most adorable cheesehead ever!
I know just where I’m going to put my “Racing Royalty” poster–just above the desk in my study so I can look at you and Secretariat every time I sit there. Love you always.
Nancy McNaul Applegate
Oh Zenny, you’re turning into such a geek!!! I wish i could just sit on the fence near you so we could laugh and laugh…..you’re such a silly girl. did you learn this stuff from DOTTIE??
