      Dear Ann,
      Thanks for this video! Heroes indeed — so sweet to see these wonderful people interacting with the beautiful horses being offered for sale. Such kindness has a calming effect on the horse in what can be a bewildering setting. Kudos to them!

    Dear Z Fans:

    Wait until you see this replay. Akai Ito wins the QE II cup at Hanshin in Japan in a huge upset at 65 to 1. Seems like the long shots in Japan racing just keep winning. AK had a troubled start and won anyway. Wow.

    Here’s her pedigree:

    https://www.pedigreequery.com/akai+ito

    Some great horses in her line including Big Red, Damascus and Roberto. She’s a very dark Bay (almost true Black) like Great Grandad, Sunday Silence.

      Fun looking at her bloodlines. I loved Damascus. She made all of those greats very proud.

    So sad to see that Rock Hard Ten is gone. So many of them are leaving us. Guess I have to get used to the fact that I am old and have been a racing fan for many many years. But the two year olds are becoming 3 soon and we will be off on the Derby trail.
    I am the proud owner of 3 whiskers on the nose of Classic Cut a 2 year old colt by Empire Maker out of a Ghostzapper mare and trained by Brad Cox. I can probably run faster than he but it is fun to be invested in him.
    I have not been posting since every time I do, they say they are monitoring my comment! Ticked me off and I just quit posting. Missed you all too much and had to come back.
    Hope all of you all are well.
    Love,
    Shirlee

    Hope all of you all are well. It is unusually cold here and we had snow over the weekend.

      Hi Marilu,
      I’ve also been wondering why we haven’t heard anything about Zenyatta for a while. I visited Lane’s End in June, and talked so much about Zenyatta they stopped so I could see her. I was absolutely star struck! She looked healthy and content, and fell asleep while we all petted her and took pictures. Great day I won’t forget.
