      Tapa 3 is the image of her sire. She is one determined filly. We may have to start a gray club for those winning horses of that shade. Gray with an a is the American spelling of the word.

        Dear Elizabeth, Marshall and Shirlee:

        Yes, I’m so happy for her too. I think you’re right Shirlee, she probably will retire soon and then we’ll have to keep track of her beautiful babies. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Judy,
          Think I read somewhere that she had a date with Uncle Mo?? Could be mistaken as I have CRS! Can’t Remember *&%$.

      Judy,
      He is a good rider just not like Mike and Gary. Don’t know how old JV is but, Mike and Gary can’t ride forever! Mike and his girls have been such a thrill to watch. Now he has 2 in Songbird and Bella.

        Dear Shirlee:

        Gary S is the oldest; he’ll be 54 on the same birth date as my sister, March 6th.
        Mikey is next; he’ll be 52 in August and JV will be 46 in November.

        When Mikey was on the New York circuit, he was my favorite jockey. Didn’t follow CA racing at that time. So when he left, JV became my favorite. Always loved Saratoga, so I mostly followed East Coast racing. Always checked on Mikey and knew he had huge success in CA. When I discovered Z, I was thrilled to find that he was her jockey. He is THE BEST. Will be exciting to follow him and his two beautiful girls, Birdie and Bella. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Dear Judy.Gary has always been a great favourite of mine.I will happy to see him back next month.I only got to know Mike through my love of Zenyatta.Temps are meant to be higher here than Barcelona this week.Don’t you just love our climate?Love and hugs Sheena

        • Dear Sheena:

          Always liked GS too. I know, it’s 35 degrees and snowing here like crazy right now. Last Wednesday our temp reached 60 degrees. Crazy. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Dear Judy B.,

          I am very envious — it is hot here today with temperature hovering around 80°! I think winter has become extinct here in NC, and that is too abnormal to be a good thing. Crazy indeed. The forecast for the week is for cool temps (45-55° F) and then back to upper 60’s to 70° next weekend — what a bizarre roller-coaster!. ?

          Hugs and Love

        • Dear Judy and Marshall,
          We’ve got a windstorm here tonight, which we think is exciting, but our storms are mostly dust and not as much moisture this time of year. All of the birds are coming in right how, just before dark, to snatch seeds and then roost for the night from the wind. We’re hoping for snow soon, but not forecast yet. Have got my pacing shoes on ~ so exciting in the ‘Waiting Room” for Zenny! with love, one of the pacing aunties in NM
          PS has been a wonderful Sunday ~ hope you all are having one also

    Denman has been retired from team chasing now and is just enjoying life,He is going to spend the summer at Ditcheat with the 2 Pauls (Barber and Nicolls)and he will continue to parade at racecourses.Have a long happy life.I will never forget your 2008 Gold cup even though you beat Kauto and how you fought to come back after your heart issues to win a 2nd Hennessy.Such courage will always be remembered.X

    The foal will arrive as babies do in it’s own time.Treve left for Newmarket on January 21st last year.It was announced she was in foal on April 8th.Given her colt was born a few days late on February 1st this year I am assuming she was covered mid to late February so she more than 30days when we got the news.The first cover was successful.

    Hi Zenny
    I just heard the news. I hope we get to hear how you are doing from time to time. We have been following you for many years. Team Z has never gone this long without updating us on how you are doing. So very sad not to hear from you.

    Of course all of us know you are being well taken care of. I just hope you do not end up being a broodmare for the rest of your life.

    Will always love you Zenny.

    Love,
    Linda

    February 13 Cherokee Devotional

    Once a person gets despair out of the way, few things can slow his progress. Despair is the dividing line between those who can take impossibility in stride and those who wilt at the first sign of opposition. Too much energy is absorbed in despair. Strength gives way to weakness and weakness robs us of the will to overcome. Anything that wastes energy should be left behind. Energy cuts doubt to the bone. When a word of power is spoken, new strength is generated. Power words are not just u wo du hi, pretty words, but strong words of courage that are heard in the ear and then in the heart where they stay to do a perfect work.

    This is a serious time with you. May the Lord bring you out of all your troubles. Trust your course with Him.
    Chief John Ross
