Z's Diary

Diary Post #290

Hey, Matt! Have you heard the news? Photo by Sarah Campion

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I simply could not wait to tell Matt the news…and I gather he thought I was just being
TOO CUTE! During the last few days, Dottie has been working with Jeannine Edwards
and Amy Zimmerman from ESPN on an update about ME. They want to present this
segment on the ESPN racing broadcast this weekend.

Dottie just heard back from Amy and the piece will be aired during the Hollywood
Park Gold Cup racing program this SATURDAY on ESPN. I’m not sure of the time yet…
as so many of you live in different time zones.

I know they will have some very current photos of ME as they are being taken this
Thursday afternoon. Oh my…I must get my beauty rest…and look fabulous! Now, this is
so special!

I love visiting with my friends. We are all really GREAT PALS!

I had to stop and tell PQ about it as well. I’m such a lucky, lucky girl!

Hope you get the opportunity to watch the broadcast.

With Love,
Hugs to All~
Z

    These stories of young Zenny at the farm bring tears to my eyes. It surely was destiny that she landed with the Mosses and John.

Thursday is supposed to be a nice day in the Bluegrass! Dazzle everyone with your beauty and smile and maybe a little kiss!!

    Dear Signofthetimes:
    Thank you so much for the Man O’ War video. He was so handsome. Looks like his groom took great care of him; just like Mario with Z. Hugs, J.B.

    Watched all 3 BC Miles 2008, 2009 and 2010
    Don’t think Canford Cliffs will have the turn of foot that Glodie has at Churchill !!!!!!

    @Judy Berube and Signofthetimes–Great links!
    @Eveline and Barbara Wood—Quite a surprise ending on that Dick Francis story “Carrot for a Chestnut””—sort of O. Henry-esque, don’t you think?

    Hi Zenny: This is very exciting news. It sounds like the Gold Cup Race day is going to be very special. I am going to see it first hand. Well I better go and finish packing. Very early start tomorrow morning.

    @All Z Fans: If you are planning to be at Hollywood Park on Saturday, I will be at the Turf Club Restaurant so please come by to say hello or let me know where you will be so I’ll be sure to meet up with you.

    Great news that we will see you on Saturday on ESPN. I will be taking my 14 year old grandson to the airport right around that time, so will definitely DVR. I saw Awesome Gem win the gold cup last year and had an exacta with him and Rail Trip! It was so much fun. You look great in the picture with Matt. Thank you Sarah and Dottie and everyone who helps us stay “tuned in” to all things Zenyatta.

    Hi Lady Z, what exciting news and beautiful pics of you, Matt and PQ! Makes my heart feel a little better and the tears not to flow so heavily. Today is the 36th anniversary of ‘Lady’ Ruffian’s untimely death, and for me it’s brings back the horrific grief of that day as if it was yesterday. I still miss her and wonder what she could have become if that race hadn’t been run! But I like to think that she has Secretariat, Swale, Alydar, Affirmed, Seattle Slew,Bid, Barbaro, et al chasing after her trying to catch up. Now that was truly some heavy duty ‘Girl Power’!
    ….peppermint kisses and carrot dreams.

    @Trina Nagele–yes, I agree about “Carrot for a Chestnut”.
