Hello fans,
It’s the beginning of an exciting month on Zenyatta.com! We’re in the midst of preparations for our third annual Zenyatta.com Celebration. Mark your calendars for Breeders’ Cup Weekend. Details will be announced throughout the month.
Leading up to this event we’ll be remembering important dates in Zenyatta’s career. The first is October 2, 2010. Five years ago today Zenyatta scored her 19th consecutive win with her victory in the Lady’s Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park. Watch the race again here and head over to the career section for more details about this milestone in Zenyatta’s life.
Enjoy!

Wow another huge Coolmore win in the Dewhurst!Air Force Blue by War Front out of Chatham wins in impressive style under Ryan Moore.He’s now evens favourite for next year’s 2000 guineas.A big beautiful colt I cannot imagine anyone beating him over the Rowley mile.Emotionless was pretty disappointing.Looking forward to Zenyatta’s War Front baby next year!!Sheena.

RIP Rock Fall who broke down during a work-out at Keeneland this morning.Very sad.
The Remus Horse Sanctuary in Essex have announced the passing of one of the oldest horses in the UK Beloved Orchid.Now in her 50th year she was euthanized due to colic.Found seriously underweight in may of last year she surprised all with her fighting spirit.Blind and toothless she,nevertheless, enjoyed life and loved her 5 cabbages a week and also liked raspberries.May God bless her.Her long life is to be celebrated.RIP SheenaX

So sad about Rock Fall. Know Barbara would have spared no expense to save him if it had been possible. The lady loves her horses! RIP sweet boy.
Donna Alsabrook
RIP Beautiful boy, Rock Fall.
Tizgood
Sooo very very sad about Rock Fall; sprinting is so hard on the legs and he was so young !!!!
Tizgood
He was euthanized on the track because it was both legs; horses never survive a two leg injury always euthanized.

Dear Sheena
I thought the owners of Treve might change their mind like the Mosses did after Zenny won her first BCC in 2009, they let her race at 6 because she was in such great form and so happy racing like Treve. No such luck with them.
Love and hugs
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Tizgood.Win or lose Treve was going to be retired.I remember telling you I thought maybe she had peaked in the Prix Vermeille.Now we can look forward to her babies.Aidan certainly looks to have some great horses for next year.Love and hugs Sheena.
