Happy Saturday!
On May 10th, the PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN of CALIFORNIA will be holding their yearly conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. This organization was founded in 1989 by U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier. It is dedicated to advancing the professional and personal development of women of all ages and and on all levels. The PBWC provides tools, resources, and a strong business community to encourage women to succeed and contribute at the highest levels in all aspects of various fields, businesses and industries.
I am honored to say that I have just learned one of my fans has spoken to them about ALL of my accomplishments as a Female Athlete who achieved this success while residing in California. As a result, the PBWC wants to include me in their program. How proud and flattered I am at this moment! I’m pretty sure a HORSE has not been part of their program before this!
The conference has 3 different presentations outlined for the day. They are CONNECT, EXPLORE and INSPIRE! My work and achievements have been selected to KICK-OFF the INSPIRE portion of the program. I will be followed in this part of the presentation by Carolyn Johnson from ABC 7 News, International Author, Isabel Allanda, and then America Ferrara, who is an Emmy Award Winning Actress for her role in the series, Ugly Betty.
If you are interested in learning more about PBWC or the conference, here is the link:
I can’t begin to tell you how truly elated I am at receiving this news! INSPIRE!! Wow!
It is gorgeous in Kentucky today. My pals and I are really enjoying this great weather. Then tomorrow…60 Minutes is airing an update on ME! I am so fortunate!

With Love,
Hugs to All~

INSPIRE – well, you truly inspire all of us! I’m so glad to be able to share in all of your inspiration. You are truly one of a kind! There have been many horses in my lifetime that have been inspiring and you are one of them! Can’t wait to watch 60 Minutes tomorrow! Rock on, girlfriend!

Zenyatta, you continue to inspire people of all ages. This is a great tribute and one you certainly deserve!
Long live “The Queen”!!!
Sharon in Seattle
how completely appropriate! Zenyatta’s athletic gifts, power and grace have enriched all our lives. And EXTREME kudos to Team Z for the wisdom to nurture her potential.
Sharon Simons-Passmore
Can’t wait to see the 60 Minutes followup story. For anyone interested, I posted my work-in-progress oil of Queen Z on ym website. I’m holding off finishing it until I can see her – PLEASE…

Zenny, The Keeneland program yesterday had some pictures of the night you arrived in the Bluegrass. Brought back such wonderful memories for me. I will never forget that night. I love you big girl. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather today.
Marty

I will be watching 60 Minutes…I can’t wait..
Paula Higgins

@ Judy Berube: That’s my thought exactly. Nothing like a great horse to connect to a great spirit like Bobby Frankel!!!!
darlene
HI Z just a thought if you and Bernie are calling it quits for now why dont you go back in trainning and win the breeders cup again just as long as you are happy love ya always
Shari Voltz
Dear Zenyatta CONGRATULATIONS!!! You do inspire everyone who has ever seen you even if it is not in person. I know 25 little people you inspire daily. I am so glad you had sunshine today. On my run this morning I was hoping you were seeing the same sunshine I was seeing. It was GREAT! I ordered my 5th graders their Kentucky Derby cake today. It is going to be made with cupcakes shaped like a horseshoe. There will be a banner made out of icing with the saying RUN FOR THE ROSES GO MO GO. It will be in Mo’s colors with red roses. I know the children will love it. They love treats and I give my homeroom treats everyday 8th period before we start class. They eat so early and by 3:00 they are hungry (so am I) :) I want to thank Lisa G for introducing me to Mo. I just fell in love with his beautiful face. I know the children like him but keep telling me they want you Miss Zenyatta to marry Uncle Mo. I guess the baby can be Moz or Moyatta :) I will be watching and taping 60 min tomorrow. I love you sweet girl. I hope you get some outside time tomorrow. Ohio is calling for rain again. I better finish my laundry before it gets to late. Sweet dreams with big Hugs and Kisses from Shari XXXOOO
@Hi Dawn Kate’s wedding dress was so beautiful. What a wedding :)

Dear Max:
Zenyatta’s 2010 Classic is our favorite race too. It really is a shinning example of her heart, talent, determination and courage. She is a Great One; unforgettable. Judy and Russ
Sarah Powell
Wow! It’s wonderful that so many are recognizing just how much you inspire everyone. So looking forward to 60 minutes tomorrow night – already got it set to record.
@ Shari V – I retired from education and I always provided “treats” for my children for every occasion also. You seem like a wonderful teacher and I’m sure
your students love all the activities!
(thanks Dottie – we love you too!)
Sue M
This looks like a stamp to me!! If they made a stamp with your picture on it, I’d buy tons of them!!
Shannon From Cool
Zenyatta, you are surely one heck of a business woman as you always got the job done very well.
Jody
Awesome Zenny and you are inspiring in so many ways!!
susan in tn
Zenny- you inspire us to aspire to live life as you have and are: bravely, joyfully, lovingly. And you do it that way because that’s just who you are!
@ AMANDA G: well said!
@ SHARI V: always enjoy hearing about your class!
@ RACHEL F: your comment about Zenyatta’s innocence got me thinking- i hadn’t thought of her in that regard but you are right! she has an unconcious purity that is, well, inhuman!
@ EVERYONE: have a great weekend – i know where we’ll all be tomorrow at 6pm(central time)!
@ SHARI V: i thought kate’s dress was gorgeous, too!
susan in tn
meant to say ” unconscious”
I guess it would have to be one’s own personal photo of Zenyatta, but you can get photo postage stamps made at the Kodak Gallery (probably other places, too-i don’t know).

Hi Z!
Awesome. (S.F. CA conference) Truely, you just keep on giving..!
Can’t wait to see you on 60 minutes!… Xlnt!
I still tell so many about you, that have not heard of you (because they don’t watch horse racing). Most are interested and say they will check you out on the internet.
I’m now thinking you will get a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! You are a Star!
Rachel
CAN YOU MARRY ME?
mj
WOW Z, You’ll need 2 stalls to hold all of your awards, pictures, news articles, magazine covers, etc., all of which you so richly deserve! You are my heroine! By the way Frankel is pretty awesome too-what a racehorse. It’ll be fun to watch his career-I hope they let him run awhile if he stays sound. Glad to hear that you’re having better weather-enjoy your rolls!!
pamela
I am so proud of you Zenyatta!! You are the best. Love and Kisses
Sally (B)
My sweet Z; You deserve all that is good that comes your way. You have been an inspiration in every aspect of our lives. You are just beautiful, yet full of fun and I am glad you are having it!! love you with a kiss on your soft nose
MaryAnn Donahue
Zenyatta–You continue to inspire and raise the bar for equine accomplishment. You indeed transcend racing and are a force for good, an inspiration for women and for all. John Kaiser’s photograph of you is gorgeous but we all know how photogenic you are! So glad you are enjoying good days in your paddock with your “girlfriends”.
Sunny Boyd
Good evening Zenyatta,
what a beautiful picture of you on the stamp, very nice :) :) :) Or what should be a forever stamp.
You and your business manager Dottie should be honored by the pbwc. That is nice :) :) :)very appropriate.
Wow, I can hardley wait until tomorrow, it’ll be sthg, it’ll be great.
Now everybody has to get their beauty sleep, and dream of Zenyatta, the movie star.
Jeanie
What’s with the stamp, girl? Is there a postage stamp available with your lovely face on it?
I’m going to so enjoy watching YOU tomorrow night on 60 Minutes. That will be special.
Have you gone back to see your boyfriend Bernie yet? We are all wondering…
DJ
Dearest Sweet “Z”,
Connect, Explore and Inspire! That is Y.O.U. “Z”. Many blessings to you and your family. What a fun forum to have and enjoy in San Fantastico! I worked at Children’s Hospital and lived in the marina district for a couple of years. I am sure your “Z” family will enjoy this little reprieve. Blessings to you and your always inspiring good work. Have Fun!

Zenyatta,
Congratulations on the PBWC accomplishment! You are truly Inspiring! I adore the “stamp” — what a terrific photo! The USPS could really make some money for a change if they did a stamp of you!!
Love and enjoy this wonderful weather!
Elaine
You deserve EVERY recognition you get! We REALLY miss you in California! Wish you could come back!
Lauren
