Dottie & John Visit Lane’s End

Happy Wednesday!

While recently in Kentucky for the Keeneland Yearling sales, Dottie and John went by the farm to say hello to Zenyatta and to meet “Baby Z”. John was tickled when Zenyatta came right over to say hello, and watching baby 12Z running in the paddock with his friends was pure delight! It was great time for all.

Enjoy the photos from their visit!

    Hi!

    I am eager to see the Zenyatta Stakes race on Saturday (Sept 29, 2012), and to
    get a view of the life-size statue of Zenyatta at San Anita Park.

      The stakes race is going to be a freak of a race. Switch is trying to win the race named after the horse that beat her. Lol Oh the irony!

    Hi!

    When will the baby be named?

    Any contest to name the baby as happened with Rachel’s baby? His name is
    Jess’s Dream.

      OK, here we go again.

      The Mosses DO NOT name their foals until during or after their 2 year old training year so they know their personality, racing style etc…

      The Mosses always name all of their foals and horses, no contest.

      How did I do Blog friends !!!!

        Sign. Good job. You are getting better and better. I think that you may be experiencing even more practice time to come on this question. And then there is 13Z.

        • Pacing pacing pacing Max and Sue,
          We have until 2013 and then 2015 for Zenny’s
          Tapit foal !!!

          What is everyone going to do with 2 unnamed
          foals ?????

          This unnamed foal issue is common, but the public
          Does not realize it goes on.

          How are they going to untrain 12 Z to NOT LOOK
          AT the camera for his conformation photos.

          My Vizshla boy is soo hyper, he is trained so he
          Is only given a treat when he does not move. Tried
          To train him to shake hands impossible. He knows
          He better not move to get a treat and he dosen’t.

          He will never shake hands, oh well.

        Good Job Sign, I get a giggle eveytime I see that question now, and of course I wait and let you answer it. Someone asked the question on facebook the other day, and I just laughed, I started to answer, but thought no, that is Sign’s job, lol.

        HAHA! You did Fabulous! Won’t it just be a kick in the pants if for some ODD reason the Mosses decide to break tradition! It seems like every 3-4 pages you have to kindly remind us when and what year our precious, gangly, big eared prince will be named! I almost get upset now if someone doesn’t ask this question, because then I won’t get to read your famous speech! (which by
        the way i LOVE!) i literally start laughing uncontrollably when I read this question anxiously awaiting the “Sign” post!!!

        NO ONE SAYS IT BETTER!!!!!

        GirlSaratoga

        • GS,

          That is why I keep saying it, maybe the Mosses with break tradition??
          Kind of doubt it, they really love to get to know their horses and pick
          just the right names, and they always do.

          The Mosses pick the best names !!!

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a special day this is, our illustrious GP, purveyer of the greatest redneck jokes, leader of the pack, having such a great sense of humor……was born. I want you to know, as of 1:15 CST, I have flushed my toilet 12 times in your honor. (of course I should mention I’ve also had a pot of coffee…….but I digress). I send my prayers for your situation to improve, and a big hug and as I tell Zenny and EARnie, a kiss on your soft nose, ha, ha. Love you man, sure wish I was coming to the BC to see you in that skunk hat.

      Heidi-I made a committment some time ago to do so. I have been somewhat sidetracked, but I am now attempting to obtain one.

        • Sign. There are two great existential questions which confront us each day: what is the meaning of life, and when will 12Z be named? With you on the case, we can at least relax about the second one.

        • Oh yes, TC
          Went back to my e- mail archives from June and sent
          You the original PETA friendly one we talked about.

          You have a lot to chose from.

          I am going to copy and paste my answer to the
          naming 12 Z, like Keta suggested as I am on my
          I phone now.

        • TOO CUTE as Zenny would say.

          What is the meaning of life, for a broodmare??
          Resting, grazing, growing, grazing, growing, grazing
          And popping out a beautiful foal !!!!

          Great question, MAX.

        • I will be wearing my new taupe embroidered
          Cowboy boots. Maybe Ann Moss has a pair,too.
          I think they are very CALI fashion, but will reserve

          If you buy those Prada, Christian L or Gucci

          Oxfords, those are the cutest and best !!!

          Go to the outlets, they are cheap there.

        • Dear Max:

          Thank you so very much. It’s a great feeling to know he’s safe and I’m pretty sure Angela (Foster Mom) is going to adopt him for her very own riding horse. I’ll know for sure in a couple of weeks. She’s wants to see how he does when she rides him for the first time. He has to learn to walk easy, stop on command and not take off running, which is all he has been trained to do. He ran a race as recently as 9/17/12. He’s very curious and smart so I think he will do well. Hugs, JB

      It’s Tricky is running Sat as well. I ‘m wondering about that race. Seem like the times I don’t expect her to win she does. I like Royal Delta too, but I don’t know I think I have to stick with Tricky==I think I just have to stick with Indy’s Granddaughter. I think he would probably be furious with me if I didn’t pull for her. Ha Ha.

        Dear Peggy,

        This is a tough one; I bet Richard’s Kid to place, he is on the outside away from the speed. Thought about betting the speed next to GOD in spot 2 to place and may change to that. Concerned they will get into a duel or GOD will pressure the
        colt in slot #2 (forgot his name). Will post after I type this.

    I LOVE THESE PICTURES!!!! Hope Zenny’s John got out from behind the camera and let Dottie take a pic or two that we might see later! It must have been such a joy for all of them to be together again–and–to see that gorgeous boy!! I think he is SO beautiful. He seems to have really matured a lot in just the past few weeks—he is so tall and so shiny–all of his baby fuzz is gone and he looks like a beautiful statue! Love the Breyer!@! I hope to get an order in for one in time.

    HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY,TERRY!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Esteemed Grand Poobah, hope you have a truly wonderful day!!! With Barnaby’s Aunt Trina there to help you celebrate,it has to be great!!!! Those of us who’ve been lucky enough to have had a birthday poem from her are fortunate indeed,but—to get to spend your birthday WITH her—–WOW!!!! How lucky can you get???? Please give her a hug from her giant nephew,Barnaby John!!

    So happy to hear about Papa Charlie!! And,to think,he’ll be right by Hudson Township!! Maybe they can still visit together sometimes—-wouldn’t that be neat??

    Wish you could all be here today—the weather is simply glorious!! It’s the perfect fall day–sky of brilliant “Idaho blue”,the aspens are going gold,a little rain a few days ago washed the smoke out of the air,and it’s about 72!! I’m going down in a few minutes to feed Barnaby and Traveller–can’t wait to see them!! Love to all!!!!

    Sending you good thoughts, and prayers for happier days ahead.

    P.S. Was watching some CRAZY show on tv and they mentioned the “Redneck Games” they are held in Georgia, is this for real? I almost fell off my chair! A lot of mud activities, and things with pigs?

    happy birthday, Terry Crow — wonderful to see your name here again. I haven’t posted much lately, am not really sure why, but check in every day for news and updates. I am truly fond of all residents of Zenyatta-land.

    I love the photos of the Queen and the Prince, can never get enough. Like so many others, I hope to see John with Queen Z again and hope John and Dottie will share if they have one.

    I wish I could be there on Sat. for the unveiling and all festivities, but hope that all of you will post your photos and fill us in. So many of us will be there in spirit!

    It’s so good to see Dottie and Zenyatta together. Sure hope there will be some more pictures from this visit with John, too. Boy, 12Z is growing…some day he will be a great grown up boy and we can say, remember when?

    Delrene, congratulations on your upcoming trip.Will be anxiously waiting to hear about it after you return.

    Judy Berube, Congratulations on your rescue of Papa Charlie and how wonderful that he’s nearby. So glad the mare had a good result, as well.

    Happy birthday Terry GP and Sandy NE Ohio. Hope you each have a great celebration.

    Karen Gogue, It’s wonderful to have you back. Hope all is going well for you. You certainly sound like your same bubbly self, especially when it comes to anything connected to Zenyatta.

        thanks for thinking of me! Hanging in there! So happy to hear that Papa Charlie is finally home, and so is his lady friend. It sounded a little touch and go there for awhile, I was getting a little nervous, that his owner maybe changing his mind or trying to get a better price. How luck you are to have such special and kind friends to aid you in this rescue, a BIG PEPPERMINT HUG TO ALL OF THEM! How nice that you will be able to visit and keep us all posted on how our new member of the family is doing! See prayers are answered, hoping mine will be too! I am thrilled “your guy” will be well cared for and not have to race any more, and hopefully put some weight on, as he did look very thin from his pics.

        God Bless you for what you and your “very special” friends did for Papa Charlie.

        • Dear Girl Saratoga:

          Thank you so much for your caring and kindness. I hope things work out for you soon. Know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you.

          Things were so dismal on Monday and by Tuesday Noon, I had found Angela (Foster Mom) and a safe place for Papa. Looks like it may be his forever home. Angela told me she doesn’t think she will be able to part with him.

          Will update his progress from time to time. I will be visiting him again on Saturday and when I give him a peppermint, I tell him it’s from you.

      There is a lot more to Trina than just poems. We need to commission someone to write one for her on her day. I think most posters would be very surprised to find out about the varied life she has led. All of it good.

      I have a question…….Where is Bernardini? I mean what stable is he at? I have to give my boy a shout out if it not be for him and his handsome good looks we would not have such a handsome prince!

      I have to laugh very time you mention 13Z being a grey filly! When my daughter and I go to the track she WILL NOT bet on any grey horses, however the stables we ride at she will only ride this one grey! (Figure that out?) She is a very strange and very unusual child! Not me I will bet on any horse I like and ride any horse as long as he/she is big, I feel safer on the bigger horses, even though they take one look at me and automatically want to put me on a smaller horse! (Not happening!!!!) I know stables try to match horse with person size, I understand that and respect that, but I like them big, I just feel safer!!!!!

      Have the Mosses indicated or mentioned what they might do with 13Z? I am guessing that if it is a girl they may keep her? (one of each) I guess that too will be a waiting game.!
      GirlSaratoga

        GS,

        Bernardini is as Darley USA. I will post his link and he is quite the looker,
        If I were a horse, I would marry him as his yearly income in $19 million.

        Zenny was soo lucky to have a great date with him.

        I am not very fond of grey horses because they are sooo much work to keep clean. But a grey filly would be very fitting for Zenny to have. My favorite grey TB are the retired Winter Memories, Zazu and of course our independent career woman (racing that is) Tasty Temptation.

        The Mosses will most likely keep all of Zenny’s “children”, maybe sell the grandchildren. I am sure they are interested in the “family” she will create
        and the boost in their racing stock and breeding stock. Her offspring are really priceless just like she is.

        • Hey Sign, Bernie might be in Australia right now. I talked to Darley in the Spring and they said he would probaly be leaving in July. Don’t know for sure but I think he usually goes at about that time and comes back sometimes before Christmas. i know when I visited there a couple of years ago in October he had just gotten back and was in Quarantine. His times probaly vary on how long he stays.

        • Oh yes,
          Thanks for the reminder. I remember he went last year.

          Waiting for Lonhro’s off spring to hit the track in 2015, his first foals should be born next year. Hope he give them lots and lots and lots of bone.

        • Dear TC GP:

          You’re cracking me up. Ha, ha. So glad your back. We missed your wonderful humor. Hugs, JB

    Went out on my late lunch hour,(I get it about 3!) to see and feed the babies. They are so cute when they hear,and then see,my little sports car! Have been feeding them early as I don’t get off work until 7 and it’s starting to get darker early–also,when daylight savings goes off,it will be even darker! They had watermelon again today,so they loved that. Traveller is so funny,she has decided that she wants the rind trimmed off now so when I slice it,I trim it for her. Barnaby loves the rind too!

    Sue just called me to tell me that Traveller has been scheduled for and exam and ultrasound next Friday at 10AM. I am trying to arrange to take that day off so I can be there to help. I get a day off for my birthday and I can’t think of a better way to use it,even though it’s not on the actual day. We can take any day we want. It’s nice that they give us that benefit. The vet is bringing portable stocks,which will be great,as she is so flighty. She really responds to my talking to her from right in front of her when she is upset. I think I kind of hypnotize her talking directly to her in a calm voice. Will keep you posted on how that all goes!!

    I saw Rita today,here at the store,and asked her about the saddle. She said “of course you can try it–you can use it any time–and ,if you like it we can talk about your buying it”. I was hoping she might be able to get another horse someday,but she has some back issues that preclude her riding again. What a shame,horses were once a very big part of her life. She loves having our horses at her place ,as she can watch them and visit them and give them treats–which,of course,they love. She is a lovely and very generous lady ( a REAL LADY!!) and we are so fortunate that she enjoys our babies so much!! At any rate,I hope to try the saddle this Saturday and will you know what Barnaby thinks about it. I would think he would like it because it is very light,but,we’ll see!

    @Sandy–Happy Birthday to you too!!! Fun to share a birthday with the illustrious Grand Poobah!!

    Love to all from Sunny Sun Valley!!!

    SHERR wa recently part of a seizure of animals. All the details will be posted as soon as I get to my computer, but it was horrible. Just to give you a sense on how bad the situation was, the woman’s granddaughter lived in a wooden “homemade” shack with the dogs… And slept on six inches of dog feces, which gave her a permanent, vile odor. Which the daycare never reported to anyone about. How messed up is that? I will have a blog post soon.

      Here is a picture of the four girls SHERR rescued.

      @QueenOfSuites: Here are four of the lucky ones to be rescued from the Person County raid. Please donate to Safe Haven in High Point. http://t.co/ogJ3KQ19

      These pictures were taken from their good side. They are in worse shape than this picture shows.

    Sandy,
    Happy happy birthday!
    Did you have a store-bought cake to celebrate?
    Hope you had a day filled with special moments.
    Hugs,
    Keta

    Terry, Happy Birthday, my friend. I hope it’s been a good one — it looks like, as i’ve just seen you all over today’s pages here. May the coming year bring you good luck and fine health!

        Yes, I felt the similarly, Terry, that I was glad I had checked in here last night, in time to wish you Happy Birthday, before the day was over. I would have felt like I’d dropped the ball, otherwise — even though some days, I just don’t get here.

      Dear Vicki B,

      How are those grapes doing, looking forward to some jelly or at least
      one grape.

      Wear your cowboy boots. !!!

        Sign, that’s funny. I have to go check out the grapes, before the ants eat them all, I haven’t been able to do that yet this week. But I have some stored in the fridge, and have been snacking on them a little, for several weeks. Thanks.

    Belmont Race 4 was won by D”Tiger. Announcer said 20 lenghts.
    It was actually 18 1/2
    Andy Serling‏ NYRA tweet: D’Tiger gets a 103 Beyer for his 18 1/2 length romp in a $16K Maiden claimer today. Just how strong was that rail today?
    Keta tweet to Andy
    Andy, so glad the someone noticed D’Tiger. That was quite a race. Expected more buzz about it. Was he claimed?
    Andy’s response tweet
    He was not claimed. That was one of those odd gold rail performances unlikely to be even remotely duplicated going forward.

    Keta Note; Ah, but what if it wasn’t a fluke?

      Good question. Andy Beyer always though Zenyatta was not so special because of her figures. Big Beyer figures are usually earned by speed horses.

        Andy Beyer is a hypocrite (sp?)

        He hated Barbaro, gave him pedestrian numbers, and then spouts about Union Rags who was practically his twin. Even Matz though UR was very similar to Barbaro.

        Oh well, it ended better for the lady party anyway. Beyer has his not so very touted numbers many don’t take seriously and Zenyatta has a legion of fans, a Gr.1 Win and You’re In race in her honor and a statue. Zenyatta: 3 Beyer: 1/2ish

        Teehee.

    Re: SANDY in NE Ohio’s birthday
    Please allow me to clarify a small confusion. Our dear Sandy’s birthday falls on a 27th, but hers is in November–in her post she was expressing her delight at sharing “the 27th” with Terry Crow, regardless of their different months.
    Love in Dumplinghood to all—
    Trina

      Dear Trina and Sandy,

      I’m sitting here with a bright red face again (it’s getting to be a habit, I’m afraid) because of my unreliable memory. I really had it etched in my head that Sandy’s birthday was Sept. 27th without reading her comment regarding Terry’s birthday. With Darlene Daniels’ birthday being the 22nd and they’re both nurses, it fit and I swore to it. So, if you see a red glow in the direction of Colorado, it’s just me being embarrased.

      Thank you ladies for so gently correcting my goof. I still hope you had a happy day, Sandy. Marty R.
