Zenyatta will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this week. Though she won’t be attending the ceremony, the people who care for her at Lane’s End Farm will make sure she knows how special she is. Alys Emson photographed her bath for us.
The 2016 Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Fasig-Tipton Sales Pavilion will be closed to the public, but fans who will be in Saratoga are invited to attend our “Belles of the Hall” viewing party for a live stream of the ceremony and fun activities for all.
For everyone else, the National Museum of Racing will stream footage from the ceremony live on their website starting Friday at 10:30 am. See their website for details.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for photos from the event!

Neil Latham’s photo book of great race horses, especially Zenyatta. It’s a very good buy.

There are several books that come to mind, but I guess I would go back to childhood and pick “King of the Wind” by Marguerite Henry. Of course, “Black Beauty” and all of “The Black Stallion” series make my list, too. The list gets longer the longer I think about it!
Hugs and Love

Always a good day when we get to enjoy an update on Zenny! Thanks, Lane’s End for great photos.
Now Zenny’s ID adds the words “Hall of Fame” to her resume. So deserving. So happy for all her friends and fans, too.

Zenyatta – so beautiful, so regal, just so darn gorgeous!
It’s killing me not to be in Saratoga on Friday, but I am so relieved to be able to watch your big moment on my computer!
I cannot thank Team Z enough for all you to do share your post-track life with your countless fans.
Hugs to all,
Annie B. in MA

Dear BGG,
Yes! Big Congratulations to Phillip Dutton and Mighty Nice (“Happy”). Well done!
Not a winning day for Boyd Martin and Blackfoot Mystery (“Red”), but kudos to them, also — it was exciting to watch both pairs. Next time!
Hugs and Love
Max
Congrats to Happy and Phil. That’s outstanding. As for Red, his victory is in making it to Rio with so little experience. The horse has a future. We need to watch him.

Thank you, Alys, as always, for taking such wonderful photos and sharing them with us.
Zenny looks healthy and happy and gorgeous and goofy!
We’ll be heading up to Saratoga to join the celebrations. Thursday is “Fabulous Fillies Day” at the racetrack… a perfect primer to the two fabulous fillies being inducted into the HOF on Friday.
Hope everybody participates in-person or online!

Dear Zenyatta,
You look “mah-vellous”, beautiful girl! Baths are so invigorating. Thank you, Alys, for these great photos!
Thanks to the wonderful Team Z and Lane’s End, also.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day at The Spa for the celebration, too.
Hugs and Love to Queen Z and her family
Deb E.
The Queen deserves a spa pampering! You can see in the pictures that she thoroughly enjoyed her bath, and it looks like she’s telling her “court” thank you for a lovely treat. Zenny has such a loving, generous, and kind personality; you can see how gentle she is around her “humans”. She loves people!
Virginia Mach Hagler
Wonderful pictures and update. Thanks.
Lori Stein
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO DRAW THE QUEEN’S BATH FOR HER! CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL :)))))
