Happy Monday to All!
I truly hope you had a wonderful weekend and really enjoyed yourselves and all of the competitive racing that took place around the country. I sure did….so much so I thought I’d DANCE for a bit! I must admit, that this is just part of my nature…to DANCE whenever I feel terrific! I love doing the “ZENYATTA”.
I’d also like to congratulate all of the winners who ran from coast to coast over the weekend. It makes for such FUN when the racing is as exciting as it has been lately.
I’d especially like to congratulate my owners on SISTER MOON’S maiden victory yesterday at Del Mar. She is a two year old filly by Dixie Union who was making her very first start. She is a homebred for their racing program…which really makes it all so special and so rewarding! Not only did she win quite impressively by over 9 lengths…she also set a new track record for Del Mar at the 5 1/2 furlong distance: 102.70. WOW! She is certainly one very “QUICK MISS”.
Track records for a specific distance are noted at the top of the page in the program and Daily Racing Form every time a particular race is carded at that distance. They reflect the BEST TIME that distance has ever been run…ever…at that race track!
I am elated to say, I also hold a track record time at Del Mar. Mine is for the 1 1/16 distance on the main track of 1:41.48. I believe I was definitely one very “QUICK MISS” as well! (Blush, Blush!)
All of this news….makes ME want to DANCE!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~(Yeah, Sister Moon!)

I just went to the Chester and Friends facebook page. There’s only 2 of us that have “liked” it. Maybe some more Z fans could raise that count a bit. There are before and after pictures of Chester, back in January and yesterday – what an amazing difference! Susan’s care of him has really brought him around – he looks like a different pony and I know from what Susan has e-mailed to me, he feels so much better now.

@ To my Z family. Thank you for the birthday wishes they mean the world to me. My birthday is the 27th and all I want is for Uncle Mo to win his race. I wish I could be there :) GO MO GO !!!!!

Some of the words…
Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I’m all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I’d go out of my mind, but for you

Dear Barbara Wood:
I’m not sure I’m going to be able to watch War Horse. I realize no horse was hurt making the movie, but I’ve read that it’s very graphic. When you see it, please let me know. It’s a story that needs to be and should be told. It will only reinforce what a huge, huge contribution horses have made in this world. But, I just can’t bear the reality of what they went through and go trough still in, some cases. Hugs, J.B.

Sweet Z, you sure felt terrific about most of your races with your “Zenyatta dance”!! Estatic you have not lost it Z. I bet all the stallions around Kentucky would love to dance with you! Your my one-of-a-kind Miss Personality! I am elated for Sisters Moon and the Moss’s, quite an impressive win!!
I have to convince my husband to switch from cable TV to a dish; that’s the only way I can watch horse racing!! You Z and our friends on here do keep me informed however. Things will slow down for me in winter and I will be able to read and click on links more so than I can do now. I had a great week-end, seeing my grandkids and my two adult sons! Miss you Z and my closest friend, just being able to be near you, actually see you. Take care of your beautiful baby bump and yourself. You look so healthy!!
Love you so with 2 kisses on your soft nose, one for baby z. Keep dancing

@ Peggy (n) You are one kind person to get me this info! Yes, my hubby said he would travel for this while we are in Fl. Thanks so much
Sharon Call
@Judy B. I can’t believe I’m telling you how to access something. Just go to the top of this page and click on Z’s facebook page. At the top of her facebook page, type in Chester and friends and it should go right over to it.

Oh my big girl, you are the “Dancing Queen”, I’ll have to try dancing in the shower it might be fun. What a great life you have!!
@Moss’s my congrats on the fabulous win of your homebred filly-she knocked it out of the park.
Joanna, thanks for that beautiful picture link I emailed the photographer, G. Selwyn and asked how much an 8X10 would cost. I’ll let you know if I hear back.
@Barbara Wood, that movie trailer gave me goosebumps I have made a note to see that when it comes out. Thank you
I’m rooting for Uncle Mo and Stay Thirsty to bring home the gold this weekend. And my dear “mighty mouse” Blind Luck to kick dirt in all their faces. Go Girl
@Susan In Ten, went in and “liked the gang and your new facebook page, they all look so much better. I’m #4.
Z luv you and kisses on your nose.

Oh Zenyatta-you are so sweet and mean so much to me. I miss seeing you dance! You ae so gorgeous and you are my inspiration that keeps helping me get through the difficulties I am having. You shine and sparkle brighter than any star up above. I love you so much Zenyatta-My Love & Blessings to you!
Christine Coleman
Hey “Quick Miss” Coleman! Just looking at your photo! You are so beautiful. I love the fact that you still do your dance moves Ms. Zenyatta! Enjoy life Zenny!!! You deserve it beautiful girl…
Barbara Wood
RIP dear Kimmiev– so tragic. It is unbearable that these things happen.
@Judy berube–I know what you mean, but I think it sounds like it will be ok. One of the comments referred to the book and that the stage play won a Tony. As we are not near NYC, I don’t know about that. I definitely plan to read the book before seeing the movie. Anyway , it won’t be out till nearly Christmas, but when I see it, I’ll definitely report.

Dear Barbara Wood:
Thank you. I think the stage play did win a Tony. Hugs, J.B.
Joen Mitchell
Not only did your owners have a big winner in their homebred, Sister Moon, how about “your John” having the place and show fillies in the feature Del Mar Oaks. Congrats all around!
