Surprise, Surprise!
I know people love parties and I must say I do too! Each year, Lane’s End has celebrated my birthday, however, this year they tried to surprise me with a new fun party plan. They invited fans to my party!
Ande, Our Farm Tour and Hospitality Manager, tried to keep this a secret, but you know how that is. I’m very curious and when I heard my pals chatting at the farm, I found out.
Lane’s End planned 2 tours for APRIL 1st, my birthday! I’ve heard from Ann the tours booked quickly: the first tour sold out in 3 minutes and the second a few moments later. I think this means I’m having 2 parties! YEAH! The first one starts at 10a.m. so I better get ready! I’m off to get my mane, tail and hooves done! A girl has got to look her best! I’m so excited!
Can’t wait…. hope to see you soon!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Dearest Mom & TeamZ (oh, that includes me!), I feel the same: I could not be more blessed and honored to share our BirthdayZ. It has been one party from the time I was born to know we were sharing something special. Happy 20th Queen Mom. How did you get to be 20 and me 11 so FAST!! This year, I will be celebrating even closer to you – LOVE & HugZ from Virginia. I hope everyone enjoys the 2 parties – XOXO’s

Dear my dancing, racing Queen Zenyatta! I tried, I really tried to buy 2 tickets to see you on your birthday but I guess my fingers at my age are not quick enough.
I wish you a wonderful 20th Birthday with lots of treats, love and friends.
Thank you Lanes End for having a live feed.
I also wish your son, Ziconic a Happy Birthday too. Remarkable he was born on the same day you were! You are always full of surprises Z!!
Love you with kisses Z and all your foals,
Auntie Sally B.

Beautiful Queen Zenyatta, I was gratefully blessed to be able to attend almost all your races from the start except for Oaklawn which I watched. I have stayed very connected through all blogs, the highs and disappointments of your breeding/foaling. So very disappointed your tickets sold out for your special party. Birthday wishes to Ziconic also! I hope I can still schedule a visit while I am still in Versailles Easter week. Forever love and hugs(peppermints too)

I’ll play your song by Liza Fly many times today to remind me of the great times watching you fly down the stretch! It’s the perfect tribute to you!
