Good Morning,
July 14th is a very special day for a member of MY TEAM! It is my dear owner, Ann’s birthday!
At this time, I would like to send her a spectacular HIGH HOOF wishing her countless blessings. I have already sent her a personal birthday greeting…but I also wanted to send her one more BIG HUG…not just from ME…but from ALL OF HER DUMPLINGS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANN!
WE LOVE YOU!
I must say, I absolutely LOVE this photo of Ann and Jerry. They collect all of the saddle towels from the STAKES RACES their horses WIN! John took this picture of them in front of MY 2 VICTORIOUS BREEDERS’ CUP saddle towels. I was post #1 when I won the 2008 Ladies Classic…and #4 when I won the 2009 CLASSIC! How special is this!
Here’s hoping it is a GREAT DAY…and in one way or another…you are also able to celebrate a TREASURED and FUN moment with someone who is dear to you in your life!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

Happy Birthday to you Mrs. Moss and thanks to you Zen for telling us so we can send her many good wishes. Thank you so much for sharing Zenyatta with us. Only good can come to all these lovely contributors to her website. May you have a wonderful day today and always.
On another subject – wow, RHT PICTURE – he is such a breathtaking stallion. I’ve always thought he was such an amazing looking horse. And that birthday horse video – to use a phrase “TOO CUTE!!!!”

greetings Z from the mountains of Wyoming. I truly love it here. The mountains are still so white from all the snow this winter. It’s unbelievable, here it is the middle of July and there’s ton of snow for a good old fashioned snowball fight or skiing. Everything is so GREEN, like I haven’t seen in years.
Happy happy birthday to our dear ANN who has helped make it possible for all of us to come here.
Kate Wheeler
Have a joyous birthday, Ann. Thanks so much for sharing Zenyatta with us. She has been a true gift.

An Evening Prayer for those who would like one:
……………………………….
Stay with us, Lord, as evening falls;
be our companion on our way.
In your mercy, inflame our hearts and raise our hope,
to bring all things together in your Goodness,
from the heavens and from the earth.
Give our bodies rest, Lord,
to restore them; and let the seeds sown by our labours today grow and yield an eternal harvest.
………………………………..

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Ann!

Good Evening Queen “Z”, What a tribute to your beloved Ann. To a very special lady may you have a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and happiness.
I recall a quote I heard sometime ago by Winston Churchill, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”. Those are words that ring so true. You all have given us such a specail gift in Zenyatta and continuing her legacy thru this web site means so much to so many of. May God Bless you all.
Dottie, thank you sharing Ann’s birthday with all of us. I hope she reads the site today. Truly a tribute to a VERY SPECIAL LADY.
Hugs and kisses

‘The Social Network’ and the lazer screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, may not be exactly true to the genesis of FB, but, unintentionally, a number of plot points revolved on pivotal differences between the world that birthed Zenyatta, and grew her safely, and the outside world where gamesmanship, plotted from an uneven playing field, with players teetering and looking over their shoulders, compared notes. Scathing rivalries to showcase a new kind of experience for exceptional undergraduates in competitive colleges launched ‘the face book.’ But there was a collage of respect and awe and love for one sincerely other-worldly mare that saturated those who want nothing but the best for her and for the individuals in the earthy, ethereal family that share her so well she affects the larger world looking after its own cares. To me, it is a mystery that as we draw closer, her followers expand! Some kind of alchemy acts here, and the good fortune of it seems to flow when we do the least to propel it. ‘Family’ that was always here, like DMCQ, and the rest of us, stand on a mutual footing, where sometimes our best thoughts aren`t spoken, or our words aren`t even entirely formed, before we write. Then we see what we think by letting it out, a risk that doesn`t need a pay-off to be worthwhile. If I could define it, it wouldn`t be miraculous — and, at least in my own skin — instead of risk, it wouldn` encourage rest.

Happy birthday Mrs. Ann Moss. You are one classy lady and thank you for sharing the world of Zenyatta with all of us. The horseracing world is much better because of Zenny and all her human connections.

P.S. Beautiful picture of the Mosses. Ann and Jerry look so very happy and in-love. One just wants to bask in the glow. I am so glad that life gave them each other—and Zenyatta.

Still the 14th in CA so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mrs. Moss and thank you for loving Zenyatta so much.

Beautiful picture of Mr. & Mrs. Moss. Happy Birthday Mrs. Moss!!! I love you Queen Z.
Barbara Grimaldi
Hope Ann had a fabulous birthday. I’ll bet Zenny would have given her love and kisses had she gone to Lane’s End!!!!
Charlotte Farmer–I am a movie buff…I would love the answer to your trivia question! It would take a pretty strong personalit to chuck the grapefruits back, so I’ll guess Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck or Jane Russell or Joan Crawford! Watch, the answer will be some tiny little angel of an actress and not this kind of woman at all!!!!
Best regards to all. Waves of love and joy from me to Zenny, 24/7.

Thank you, gorgeous girl, for letting us know about the birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, Ann Moss! A million blessings on you for the million wonderful things you do for horses and for all us Z fans, as well as, charities for all creatures great and small! Thanks so much to you, Mrs. Moss, and to Mr. Moss for your kindness and generosity! All the Best!!!
@Susan in TN: Hope you are feeling better – take care and drink plenty of water! Pats to Lou!
@Terry Crow: Thanks for the jokes!
Charlotte Farmer
@Terry Crow – Rita Hayward was his next door neighbor and I read the story in an autobiography by George Masters, hairdresser to the stars. George created the look of Tootsie for Dustin Hoffman and was responsible for Lynda Bird Johnson’s look at the Academy Awards when she was dating George Hamilton. I love Glenn Ford and loved his television series, Cades County. Thanks for the joke.

@Terry Crow – Forgot to mention the connection of Rita Hayward to Noor. Noor’s owner was His Highness the Aga Khan, Rita married his son, Prince Aly Khan.

Good Morning Zenny, It’s 5.45 am and I’m up early to check on my daughter’s flight status. It’s on time and so she should be in the air as I type this. She has to change in La Guardia but things are looking good for her to arrive on time, so with credit to Michael Buble, It’s a Good Day and I hope you have one too Zenny.
@ DMCQ Welcome to the Dumplings.
