Zenyatta is throwing a Breeders’ Cup party, and all her fans are invited! No other thoroughbred in this generation has captured the hearts of fans quite like Zenyatta, and this stunning competitor returns to Breeders’ Cup this year as the world championship’s “official hostess” at the inaugural Zenyatta Celebration, Friday, November 4, at the Kentucky Derby Museum, located adjacent to Churchill Downs.
Dear Friends,
I absolutely LOVE a great party. I have hosted several of them during my time at Barn 55 and adore sharing good times, great food, and lots of fun with my FRIENDS. It is also such an honor for ME to be the OFFICIAL HOSTESS for this “Inaugural Zenyatta Breeders’ Cup Celebration.”
My Team and I are very excited about all of this!
I also LOVE GREAT RACING! For the last 3 years, Breeders’ Cup has been such a huge part of my life. This year, on November 4th and 5th, we will have 2 days of fabulous racing with fields composed of the most accomplished horses we have in our sport from around the world! DIVISIONAL HONORS and CHAMPIONSHIPS are on the line! The stakes are HIGH…and the racing is the BEST!
PLEASE COME AND JOIN IN THIS CELEBRATION!
It all begins with MY PARTY!
11:30 a.m….November 4th….in The Kentucky Derby Museum
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

Wish I could be there too! Will Zenyatta memorablilia from the Breeders’ Cup be made available for purchase on your website?

Hi Zenyatta. I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend your Breeders Cup Party but I know you and your teams and TT will feel my love. My heart will be there with you. What a great idea – I know everyone attending will have the best time especially seeing you and TT on the big screen. There isn’t a day that goes by that your name is not mentioned by HRTV, TVG, tracks all over the country. You are such a superstar and great champion. Love you, Angel in Disguise.

@Zenyatta and Z Teams and Z friends: How I envy all of you that get to go to the inaugural party! But I’m planning a Z Dumpling party for BC 2012 at Santa Anita and sure hope that Z Party Part Deux will be offered in your home state! Boy will that be a WooHooWowee moment! So looking forward to it!
@Kari: I am so glad you get to go! Great healing power in this incredible mare!

Oh! I wish I could come :( I just hope they will do it again next year Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita. Love you Queen Z!

No greater host-ess than Z! What a wonderful event to be hosted by Team Zenyatta. Leading the way with the greatest ambassador the sport knows and could ever hope to have.

Good luck to to ZAZU, Cozi Rosie and Harmonious on Saturday! Safe races for all.

Dear Queen Zenyatta & the Royal Baby –
.
I must say, you bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “great with child”! How Mommiehood becomes you!
.
Who better to usher in the festivities at the Breeders Cup than – YOU!? A great big congratulations to Team Z for having their collective thumbs on the pulse of horseracing for the good of Zenyatta’s legacy. What a coup! And our Dean of Equine Studies, Dottie, aided by what I surmise is her amazing intuition about what is RIGHT for ZENYATTA, has hit it out of the park, again! Un-be-lie-va-ble!
.
I’m hoping that one of the new offerings for Zenyatta memorabilia will be that fabulous Z pin I’ve been writing about here since the Eclipse awards when Mrs. Moss wore it so stunningly. We Dumplings saw Dottie wearing that beauty on her sleeve at Hollywood Park – oh my gosh! Perfect remembrance of a perfect horse.
.
Best of luck to sweet Zazu and the lovely and talented Blind Luck on Saturday. We’ll be thinking of YOU, Queen Z, with fondest thoughts.

Huge Horse Hugs to All ~ HH

My husband and I really want to try and go to Zenyatta’s party during the Breeder’s Cup. If we were to make the event, what would the required attire be for each event if we bought all access passes? Also, would we be able to see all the races on Friday with the all access pass? Thanks so much!

Hey Queen Zenyatta! It’s been a long time since I’ve been reading your diary, but I absolutley LOVE the party idea! I’m sure you will taking party-hosting to the NEXT LEVEL! :) It would be so cool if I could go.

—And HUGS to all who need them.

@Kari Bussel, I second Sue Fredricks plan!
Sue is driving down with me from Wi., and I too agree, if I was lucky to be picked for a Zenyatta visit at Lanes End, you’d become our sidekick. Miracles and wishes can come true. I am just so excited about this whole experience October is going to be a long month!
sue
I already have tickets! Excited to once again to celebrate Zenyatta at the track!
Jo
Congratulations to Zazu!! Zu ran a fabulous race in a finish that would impress Z. Hope all is ok with Blind Luck, she is a great champion. Kudos to Cozi and Harmonious, too.
Elizabeth
How we wish we could attend this lovely event! What a classy thing for Queen Z’s team to do for her many fans. :-)
We still love you, Zenyatta!

Hi Queen Z…you are probably busy planning your party, but I need to play catch up or all my past thoughts will turn into dust bunnies: hope this entry counts as kind of a diary!
@Kari Bussell: thanks for sharing about your health treatment/issues.It’s great that you got help from a Dumpling! Thinking of you!! You have been through a lot!
@Kathy Kimber and Judy Berube (I hope!): thanks for the info on Skip Away and Old Friends. Oct 17th is Rod’s b/day…he will be interested in hearing this.
@Cynthia Holt: I like your idea of First Stallion…LOL!
JAG: Yes a fond farewell to St.Trinian’s. Wonder if she and Z will ever exchange emails about the “old days'”?
@Terry Crow, yes I hope to see you on the 8th, also.! I need to catch up on your jokes…did Like the Cesarian section-Rome redneck one!
@Trina Nagele: Add me to the list of Horse Heaven readers!
@Diana S: about your “trip”–hope to explain to you in person–too weird to explain here except to say I KNOW you had not gone a trip at that point. I just put you and Terry Crow in the same sentence–ha ha as I just did right now.LOL. (This goes back a few diaries, so hope you remember, or you will wonder even more! :) )
@all: I think it is great that we hear from people all over the world! Makes me smile.
That is it for my past thoughts, I hope. Will add another post for current events and read the most recent diaries.
Happy Sunday (and Oct 2nd for me) everyone!

Hi Zenyatta. What a great weekend of racing, both here and abroad. Wow, girl power all over!! Congratulations to Zazu; I am praying that everything is o.k. with Blind Luck. I have been telling everyone about your Breeders Cup party. It is such a great idea. So sorry that I cannot attend this year. My heart will be there with you and hopefully a lot a pics will be taken and shared and perhaps we can see video of you and TT – that would be awesome! Love you. Stay comfy, eat well for two and have loads of fun with TT and all of your other friends. Love you, Angel in Disguise.

Hello Zenyatta! Thanks for the latest news. I am so happy you are the official hostess this year. Wish I could go. Love and hugs, Marilu
Hannah J.H.
Oh Zenny!!!!
I almost DIED when i read that!!!!! I would love to go so,so so, much. But my dad is looking for another job right now so we can’t pay the plane ticket or the gass money right now…:(
And I would skip Nutcracker rehearsals if I could to go, but my studip thinks a dance is more inportant than going to a party.
I would WALK……ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA TO KY IF I COULD.
I’d probably be a pile o’ bones by the time I got there though, and I’d be to late anyway if i walked…
BUT EITHER WAY<<<< I'LL BE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO COME UP!!!!
i luv u!
hugs + Kisses~

I meant Studio…Not studip….LOL!

Zenny- I feel so depressed today. I feel very anonymous. I got tickets to go to your party. I hope I can talk. That’s why I like animals- you can talk without talking. I love you. Glad you got good people.
Denise
We LOVE YOU Z!!! We will DEFINITELY be there !!! I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!
Thank you TEAM Z!!!!!
kate wheeler
Zenny, my friends and I are so looking forward to your party on Novmeber 4th. I can hardly wait. It will be a treat and an honor to meet your team and to see you and Tasty T. by video. So gracious of her to help you out with this exciting project and the worthy causes it serves. You are always pitching in and helping out, and involving others in your projects. This is one of the things we love so much about you, Queen Z.
Barb France
How exciting…flying to WI from WA and then both of us will drive down to KY. So we are hoping to get tickets to party with everyone! It will be fun to meet actual people from YOUR website!
@Debbie Pofelski & Georgia Harper – I’ve got Z’s license in Blaine ZNYATTA and our boat will be renamed ZENYACHTA (becoming liveaboards!!! Looking forward to meeting so many of your fans. This is so great for Team Z to have a PARTY hosted by QUEEN Z!!
