        Dear Ann:

        Oh, that is great news. Was rooting for him. Peggy told me about him couple of days ago; Derma Sotogake (have no idea how to pronounce).
        Congrats beautiful boy and Biscuits and all connections.

        Wow, what a bunch of talent in this year’s Derby.

        Yes, he’s a gorgeous Chestnut like Dad. Love and Hugs, JB

        Dear Ann,
        Yes, I saw that race! What a handsome son of Mind Your Biscuits he is — beautiful chestnut Derma Sotogake. Congrats to him, Frankie and all connections on the win! He sure does shine!!
        Hugs and Love 😍

        • By the way,
          Big Congrats to Gunite and Tyler on the third place finish
          in the Golden Shaheen. Sibelius won and Switzerland got second. Gunite was very close(a half length behind) to the place winner. Exciting race!
          Hugs 🥰

        • Dear Marshall:

          Thanks for this news on Gunite. I will watch the replay.
          Gun Runner is creating quite a legacy with the success of so many of his babies.

    Dear Z Fans:

    This is he story of Cagliostro, a feisty three year old colt trained by Cheri DeVaux (David Ingordo’s wife. David is Dottie Shirreff’s son and recommended the purchase of Zenyatta to Mr. and Mrs. Moss).

    Two other women are assisting Trainer DeVaux in getting this feisty, banana loving colt interested in his job and maybe in a chance to Run For The Roses. Lots of love and patience.

    Godspeed beautiful boy.

      Dear Z Fans:

      Not a good day for Cagliostro and his Team in the Louisiana Derby today. He broke through the gate before the start, which may have taken a toll, and he finished 8th of 12. Poor baby; still learning the job.

      Hope he’s no worse for the wear and came back well.

      Love and Hugs, JB

    Just saw that a son of Mind Your Biscuits won the UAE Derby. Congrats. Another good one who was sold out of the USA. Owners say the winner plans on coming to the Derby.

      Dear Judy,
      What a nice video!! Ms. Becky Ryder has a very appropriate name to be at Keeneland and in charge of its library. It was so interesting to hear her “take” on watching American Pharoah and our incomparable Queen Z.
      Love it❣️
      Thanks for sharing this with us.
      Hugs and Love ❤️ 🏇 ❤️

    Dear Z-friends,
    A great BIG cheer for Lord North and Frankie D. on winning the Dubai Turf today!! This is a repeat win (I think they said it’s the third win) for Lord North. He looked so good and managed to keep his nose out front at the wire. Frankie gave him an excellent ride, too. Congrats to Lord North, Frankie, the Gosdens and all connections!
    I missed the big race since I had to run some errands — will look for the replays. I will have to miss the Louisiana Derby today, too. It is on CNBC at 6PM (EDT) this evening. Thank goodness for replays!!
    Have a lovely day everyone❣️
    Hugs and Love

      Congrats to Team Lord North.
      Such love and patience with his training.
      What an incredible day of racing.
      Keta was posting about the Japanese horses because of Kate on Twitter and it has been an amazing journey! Miss Keta but sure she must be a Guardian Angel for them!
      Talk about March Madness.

    Dear Z Fans:

    Just checked the Ped of Japan’s Ushba Tesoro, who won the Dubai World Cup on Saturday. His sire is none other than Orfevre. Just let our Peggy know. She loves Orfevre.

    UT was brilliant; came from far back like Z. Here’s the replay in case you haven’t seen it. Goosebumps finish.

    Congrats to him and all connections.

      Dear Judy,
      Thanks for posting this video! Orfevre’s son was amazing in this race!
      He came a-running and nailed Algiers and everyone else. Congrats to UT and all connections! Daddy (also Peggy) is proud. I think he has Sunday
      Silence in his background, right?

      Dear Judy,
      Thanks for posting this article! It is very encouraging to those of us who have been wondering about Z’s boys. Sounds as though they were/are doing well. Their “peeps” seem to be very pleased with them and to love them, too.
      Hope Coz and Zi will continue to thrive and be happy❣️
      Hugs and Love 💕

        Dear Marshall:

        The article is almost a year old, but hopefully they are doing well and will continue to compete in their jumping adventures. Also, was fun to hear a few new bits on ZI’s personality and ZILKHA too.

        Love and Hugs, JB

    Dear Ann, Marshall and Z Fans:

    Just realized two of Bernie’s boys finished first and second in the New Orleans Classic on Saturday; West Will Power and Art Collector.

    WWP, owned by Gary and Mary West (same owners of Maximum Security) had a speed figure of 115 and AC finished second with a speed figure of 108. Nice rides by jockeys Prat and Alvarado too.

    Here’s the replay:

      Dear Kathy,
      Yes indeed, Secretariat was truly a phenomenal being! He will always be the
      horse of MY lifetime — still get chills and misty eyes whenever I see the replays of his Triple Crown races. A once in a lifetime miracle!
      Happy Birthday, Big Red! 💖

    Wishing a very Happy 19th Birthday to our beautiful beloved Zenyatta! Hoping that she will get a little extra pampering today (peppermints!) from the wonderful team at Lane’s End. This is always a good day to watch all her thrilling races yet again and to marvel at her perfection…💕💕
