In the meantime, enjoy a few of the latest images of Z and her filly plus a fun video courtesy of Thoroughbred Daily News.

    Thanks to Alys for the pictures of Zenny and her girl. That little girl is growing up fast and she has Mom’s Roberto ears. What a nice gift to find on a rainy Sunday morning.

    Watching her races never gets old, I often bring the dvds out, the classic will always go down in the history of the sport, the race call will go down in the history of the sport. While still miss seeing Z on the track and it is still hard to think over 10 years now since we said farewell to her life on the track, we celebrate now through her foals. Z has always been a bright spot for me through out with the loss of my husband, and now with my own health issues, she has always brought that smile to my face, and a tear or two to this day. She will forever be loved, even though she is not ours but we all hold that special place in are hearts when it comes to her. Thanks to all the connections for still sharing her with us.

    Thank you so much, Alys for the photos — they are wonderful. Love the onset of fall colors, too. Z and her filly look just gorgeous, but then it is impossible for them to look otherwise. ?

    This is a great way to start the week for sure. Love to Z and 20Z! ? ? ?

    Hugs and Love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    Also so glad to see Zenny and 20Z. They both look terrific and glad to hear how they are loved and appreciated for the wonders that they are. Our Queen is definitely carrying a little one, is she not?

      Dear Judy,
      Wow, what a handsome stallion Tiznow is! Wishing him the very happiest retirement from stud — he certainly has earned it. Hope he remains healthy, happy and adored always. ?
      Thanks for posting the article, Judy❣️

      Hugs and Love

        I just watched the replay of that amazing Breeders Cup Classic win at Belmont Park in 2001. Tiznow was brilliant! What an exciting run to the wire — great call, too. The USA needed the uplifting win that fall, and Tiznow brought it home to his wounded country. Something to be happy about!

        Cheers and Hugs to the magnificent Tiznow!! ❤️

        • Tiznow was ridden by Chris McCarron and trained by Jay Robbins.
          Great jobs by both!

          Goodnight everyone!

        • Happy retirement, Mr. Tiznow.
          That stretch run, wow! Tiz said…give me some room guys.
          Chris is still 18, right? Good racing days.
          Luv ya.

        • Dear Marshall:

          Wasn’t that race one of the best ever! Happy retirement beautiful boy. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Now we have Tiz The Law.
          Incredible looking back at the bloodlines there.
          Tiznow was up against the incredible Albert The Great. His sire is Go for Gin.
          Go For Gin sired mare Gin Running who was bred with Tiznow and produced mare, TizFiz. Go For Gin also rolled and was upside down the entire time we met him, ha!
          Tiz Fiz is Mom of Tiz the Law.
          Tiznow line is great! Greatness meets again off track.

        • Dear Judy and Ann,
          Indeed that was some race!

          Thanks for the bloodlines lesson, Ann! Love tracing the threads that tie these beauties together.

          Hugs and Love

      I will never forget meeting Tiznow at Winstar! I wasn’t walking well enough to do the rest of the tour – Debbie and my friend Carol took pictures for me – but I DID get to see him!! Happy Retirement to a great horse!

    Happy Friday everyone! Our boy Hovis is doing a tad better but still seems to have a long way to go. Mini Mum has been quite attentive, and he had a visit from a massage therapist that was all kinds of interesting. You’ll see :-)

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. Not too much happening in the way of racing. It’s a beautiful day here in Ohio (for the next few hours anyway) and then things are going south in a hurry. Can’t believe that we’re this far into “late fall.”

      Dear Sandy,
      Thank you for our weekly Hovis report. Astonishing how he and Mum can keep their wonderful sense of humor. So glad that Hovis is a bit less hoppy and hoping he will continue to improve. Sending more prayers for healing to our Hoverine Hero. More prayers to St. Francis to keep watch over him and to protect him.
      ? ❤️ ?

      Hugs and Love

        Agree Marshall, talk about the British having a stiff upper lip, they are really brave with everything they and poor Hovis are facing. I don’t think I could do that and still keep my sense of humour. So prayers, calls to Sheena and St Francis. Thanks for the post Sandy. Hugs and Love❤️❤️

    Thank you for our Hovis update.

    Well, at least Hovie managed some racy humor in spite of all he’s going through. Continued prayers for the Manly Man. Love and Hugs, JB

    Sandy,
    Thanks for the Hovis report. Glad he is doing a bit better.
    Thanks to everyone for the pics of Tiznow and the bloodline lesson. Glad he is retired healthy and happy.

    Be sure to read Bloodhorse.com today. An interesting article on Gamine and Bob Baffert. I am beginning to wonder about some of these reports. Always thought he was a good guy, but have heard rumors to the contrary.

      Dear Shirlee,

      This is disturbing news about Gamine’s positive test for betamethasone. I certainly hope it can be cleared up successfully and truthfully.

      Congrats to Van Gogh, American Pharoah’s first European Group 1 winner — trained by Aidan O’Brian. He won on turf. Congrats to all connections.

      Hugs and Love

        Hi again,

        The article about Van Gogh is in BloodHorse today, and there is a replay video with it. The race was the Criterium International at St. Cloud, and AP’s colt won by at least 4 lengths. Great race, Van Gogh!!

        Cheers and Hugs

        Dear Shirlee and Marshall:

        This is just so upsetting. Poor horses. The Industry has got to put a stop to this. It’s turning people off from the sport for sure. Makes me so angry. Love and Hugs, JB
