Good Morning to All~
Happy Tuesday! Everything is moving right along perfectly at the farm. I am able to go outside with my pal, Tasty Temptation, and relax for hours at a time. As you can see in the photo, I am just like so many of you. My coat gets ‘lovely high-lights’ from the sun and I do need to have my ‘sunglasses’ (aka fly mask) on when outdoors.
I must say, this mask is a fabulous accessory to have. Not only does it keep the flies off of my face and away from my eyes…but it also screens out some of the sun and direct light…which is quite helpful!
We have had really warm weather recently. I’ve heard that it is also quite warm back home in Arcadia (by Santa Anita). Dottie looked up the temperature for today and it is to be 93 degrees in Lexington. It is even a bit warmer than that in Arcadia. As I have mentioned before, Charles and the guys here monitor how hot it is for ME. If too warm, I am taken back to the barn where the fans are keeping it nice and cool. I must say, I am one very lucky girl!
It is also the first of the month and as MY TEAM requested, they weighed me. I am gaining just the right amount of weight for this stage of my pregnancy. YIPPEE! I am eating all of the right foods and drinking LOTS of water to stay properly hydrated….so this is all good! I’m really trying to do all the RIGHT THINGS here to be a GREAT MOM!
In racing, for many of the major race tracks, today is a ‘dark day’…meaning the tracks are closed. So for quite a few people who work with the horses, this is a more relaxed day and they have some time off. Whether going to the lake, to play golf, or to have fun in the ocean, I hope everyone remembers to be careful in the sun, drink lots of water, and wear your ‘sunglasses’….JUST LIKE ME!
Have a very pleasant day!
With love,
Hugs to All~

Zenny: Do you still dance sometimes though you are a pregnant lady? Some of us are wondering. Ask Dottie to let us know. Bet you do!
Love from GrannyP.
Kathleen
You look beautiful Zenny!
Sharon Call
@Bridget and Kari Bussell. That horse is really enjoying the sprinkler. What a treat.
OK, Kari. Guess this is the day for a couple of boxes of Kleenex next to the computer. Between Pavarotti, Zenyatta and this young lady, I haven’t stopped tearing up in about an hour. It’s good for the soul.
Lauren
Dear Zenny – You look so beautiful grazing in the grass and your hi-lights are lovely. You are a lovely mommy to be. I for one can’t wait until the baby is born. Love you beautiful girl. Have a blessed day.
harold moore
you sure look good BIG Z, THE GREAT MOTHER TO BE.

Hi lovely mama, my you are getting that lovely mature hour glass figure, and with your sunglasses, and color change, you are certainly a new woman. You must walk to the pasture gate every morning, look at all that grass and say, “where DO I start?” It sure looks like horse heaven to me! I’ve been watching so many lovely videos of you, and although I miss you at the track I look at this pic of you and know that you are in the right place, happy, contented, and waiting for little Z. What more could a horse ask for after a hectic life like yours was than peace and quiet, and soon a baby. Luv you and kisses on your nose.

@Kari Bussell–thank you so much for posting the Zoe Bragg link. That was stunningly beautiful. (especially got a kick out of the “don’t waste your money on Zenyatta” comments. I tried to look her up and found a Facebook page and also a wet-well-soon Facebook page, but nothing after 6/13/10. Wish we could find out. Makes me wish I had tons of $$$ to give to Make-A-Wish. I don’t know how I managed to miss this video.
@Sharon Call–I’m always ready for “Nessun Dorma”. Thanks.

I can hardly believe it’s you Zenny, your coat is so light, and your shades are doing a good job of protecting your eyes and face. I hope it’s cooler down there in Ky and that you’re able to get out everyday to snack on that lush grass. Great news that you and the babe are right on schedule, keep up the good work, you are going to be a fantastic mom. As usual, Sarah has taken another super picture of you and it shows your bump is getting rounder so the little one is thriving. Hugs to you and Tasty T, enjoy your day.
Shannon From Cool
Cute! My guys have their “sunglasses” on too.

Dear Zenyatta, you will be a wonderful Mother. I am looking forward to seeing your offspring.

Sharon Call
@Kari Bussell. Can you put Z’s races and/or pic’s to the Pavarotti link or your CD’s. I’d love to see that and I think everyone else would, too.
Sharon Call
@Barbara Wood. Every day is a good day for Pavarotti. Glad you enjoyed it.
Tressia in Phoenix
It is supposed to be 113 here in Phoenx today, can’t wait until I get to Del Mar on Saturday. Sure hope that our John has a horse running on Saturday, I want to put $10.00 on the nose. Anyone going to be there on Saturday, maybe we could hookup!

Queen Z you look to cool in your fly mask! Now where are the fly wraps for your legs? It takes me 10 minutes to get my horses ready to go out to pasture, fly mask, fly wraps, fly spray. just like getting my children ready to play outside in the winter.
Kari: thanks for sharing the video!!
Robyn Mullhausen

Hi Z and “family” So good to hear from you and thanks so much for the update. All my barn buddies are wearing their fashionable “shades” now too. Yes it is very hot out here in Southern Cal and the awful humidity isn’t helping. Is it humid back there too? Love and miss you bunches! xxoo
