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~

Good Evening Lady,
great cheese hat there. :)
As Valentine’s Day is approaching and so is your first date with Bernadini, I thought I have him serenade you
Bernadini to you:
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU by J. McCarthy
I DIDN’T WANNA DO IT
I DIDN’T WANNA DO IT
YOU MADE ME WANT YOU
AND ALL THE TIME YOU KNEW IT
I GUESS YOU ALWAYS KNEW IT
GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE
WHAT I CRY FOR
YOU KNOW THE BRAND OF KISSES
THAT I DIE FOR
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU
Hehehe
Your response: :)
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
and gives expensive jewels
A kiss on my ear is quite continental
But Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
:) :) :) :)
Good night Zetty, sweet dreams :) :)

@J Smith–Thanks for the great report. Sounds like you had a ton of things to deliver. I hope the ladies know how much we appreciate them.
@quarterhossgal–since we’re already slightly off-topic with football, just want to mention our Baylor Lady Bears have to play your Cornhuskers Wednesday night. Hope they can get there in the weather we’re expecting. Glad your horses are snug and warm!

Zenny, You look so cute in your Cheesehead Hat! Thanks for sharing the photo, wish I could buy a copy of that one!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying your free time!! I love the picture.
Dani
@J Smith – thrilled to hear the Zenyatta Lounge is to be filled with so many wonderful gifts from so many wonderful people. It sounds like a great collection of thoughtful items that will certainly be very much appreciated by the ladies. Thank you for spear-heading this drive and thank you Kathryn Cogswell for the inspiration behind the idea. My package went out today so hopefully will arrive safely at week’s end.

So glad you were for the Pack. I received my Breyer last week as did another poster they had been back ordered.

What a hilarious post !!!! Zenny as a cheese head packer
fan and the Queen of thoroughbred racing. Great photo.
Glad she get to be a fan and what a great one.
Sweet dreams Zenny.
J Smith
It’s funny, I didn’t even realize I was paying that much attention to others posting, but when you don’t see someones name for a week, you start to worry about them! I guess we really are all one big zfamily now. Too cute Miss Zenny & Dottie, see what you’ve done now.
Rachel
The Packers are always happy to have another dedicated fan. Your show of support is wonderful. I enjoy hearing about your post race career ideas. Have a wonderful week.
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Zenny, You are such a big HAM and CHEESE!!! What’s not to love!?
Fran
HI Z!!! It is evening here, Monday. Just got back with Kate. she and Doz are training for the eventing show in two weeks. Hope you had a wonderful day today. Probably too much rain for you to go out. Hope it was a good day anyway. Love you!! xxoo
Cory Wellman
YOU ALWAYS WERE THE BIG CHEESE….This was truly funny…love it,made my day!
OraJean Stevenson
Dear Queen-Z & Team-Z,
You’re too cute with the “Cheese-Head” on your pretty head !! I was so hopeful that my Steelers were going to win at the end, but time ran out and they came up short. It was a good game, once the Steelers got their heads into it. Oh well, there’s always next year.
Zennie, have a funfilled and safe week. You and your Team never fail to please your fans with these Diary updates. Hugs to all. Fondly, OraJean
Lynne
Hell Everyone. Would that be head cheese you are wearing? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I am not a huge football fan, baseball is my game. However I did find myself rooting for Green By, being as how they had not won in so many years. Zenyatta, you are so cute in your cheese hat
As always, lots of love, Lynne
Lynne
Sorry, the hell is supposed to me Hello and Green By is supposed to be Green Bay. Did I spell anything else wrong?
xxxxoooo – Lynne

Most EXCELLENT time at Santa Anita! Awesome to meet the team and Kate and Penny. Wow!! @Judy Gadwood- It was GREAT to see you again and BS in line! You rock!! :)
Joyce
Sorry I missed being at Santa Anita (and I really missed that), but I taped it and so saw the awesome event. How special for you to have that award from Secretariat’s owner, and so well deserved! I am under the weather with a cold but wanted to say goodnight and sweet dreams sweet Zenny. Love you.

Just a comment about the BC and how a few can’t bear to watch the video of that race…my wife and I were there also and it was by far the most magnificient performance by a horse we have ever seen.
A row of men behind us had bet or Zen to come in second BUT when she make that magnificient stretch run they yelled, stomped their feet and cheered her on to win. Afterward they said they had NEVER seen such a courageous run and to a man said she was by far the BEST horse that day. They…like thousands of others became believers because of that one performance. HOY! Amen.
Shannon From Cool
Guffaw! You look marvelous darh-ling!
A wonderful and cheesy win for the great Green Bayers.
Ellie Hamblen
@ Judy Gadwood- here’s the wonderful BC 2010 video I was telling you about- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CH-IEf1CCo

@ Gerrie P.& Kathryn Cogswell – I so totally agree with everything Gerrie said about Ann Moss. She is very classy, spiritual, and sometimes profound. I loved in her Vox Populii acceptance speech when she said Secretariat and Zenyatta were “BEAUTIFUL BEINGS WHO JUST HAPPEN TO LOOK LIKE HORSES”.I Just loved that!……….And yes,Kathryn, after atanding in line for 3 hours and getting our signed posters by the wonderful team Z, my friend and I delivered books and games to the marketing department. So looks like it was a great suggestion…
Julia B
Goodnight Zenny ! Goodnight all!
Ann W. Cates
Ha! Ha! Haredee Har! Har! We would like to know more about your lovely friend, Pirate’s Queen. I can’t find her in the Thoroughbred Database. Is she perhaps an International Champion? Tell us about her life and her lineage. With so many thanks!
Patti
So happy I got to see your Vox Populii award given by the grand Ms. Chenery (albeit on the internet)but as always you are a thrill to watch and I am so happy you can keep in touch with us on this website. I ordered your poster today ‘Racing Royalty’ that you share with Secretariat. Two mighty thoroughbreds – perfection. You look too darn cute in that cheesehead hat, however, I’m a forever Steelers fan….but ain’t life fun anyway?
Maria
Oh my goodness! You’re soooo cute with the cheese head hat!!! I love you Queen Z.
Barbara Wood
@Ann W. Cates–I think it’s Pirate Queen. Try the http://www.pedigreequery.com website. According to i,t she only had 3 races and no wins, places, or shows. But she’s adorable in my book!
Good night, sweet, Z. Sleep warm!

Zenyatta–cutest Cheesehead I’ve seen!
Yvonne and Maurice Kirby
Hi – you are too cute wearing and munching on your cheesehead. What a great picture, but of course you look great in whatever you wear! Will someone be making a Derby hat for you to be auctioned off for one of your charities? Valentine’s Day is fast approaching; when will you have your first date with Bernardini? Received the Bloodhorse magazine today and they had a wonderful story about the two of you and he is very handsome. Wait till he sees you!!!
Stay toasty, have fun with your BBFs you Angel in Disguise. Love you so.
Elaine Valenzuela
Zenyatta, the cheese hat is tooo cute! My hubby stood in that line at Santa Anita for a little over 2 hours, but it was well worth it! I was making some bets and made some money “for the week”. ha/ha! Just to let you know, by reading your posts daily, help make my day! Luv you!
Cathy
Zenyatta you are so wonderful. You are the greatest ever. The game yesterday was a good one. You look so cute with your cheese head hat. I hope you had a great Monday. With lots of love and Big hugs. Talk to you soon.
