Last fall we held our sixth annual Zenyatta Celebration, raising over $40,000 for Retired Racehorse Project. Five participants were chosen in a random drawing to win the grand prize, An Invitation to Meet Zenyatta. Each winner was invited to travel with a guest to Lane’s End Farm to meet Zenyatta and receive a tour of the farm. These photos document their visits. Photography by Alys Emson.
View the complete set of photos from these visits in our 2018 Zenyatta Celebration Photo Gallery.

Will Zenyatta ever be bred again? Or is she through.

Happy Birthday to the great AP Indy. He looks wonderful for 30. So glad he has a special friend to love and care for him.
What more can be said about Winx? She is so special. We will miss her when she hangs up the saddle but wish her good health and happiness.
Safe trip to Muchie’s boy, Mucho Gusto, today.

Dear Shirlee, Ann and Z Fans:
Mucho Gusto finished third in the Sunland Derby. Uncle Johnny won on Cutting Humor (First Samurai by Pun (Pulpit). Fractions were very fast. Hope the all came back OK. Here’s the replay. Love and Hugs, JB

Thanks JB!
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting this race. Mucho Gusto did well to hold on to third. Congrats to Cutting Humor and JV on the Sunland win! Anothertwistafate was a tough contender and made Cutting Humor work for it. Tapit’s boy, Wicked Indeed, managed to finish in fourth.
Hope everyone is okay, too.
Hugs and Love
Judy Berube
Dear Ann and Marshall:
You’re so welcome. Hope MMM’s boy has points enough to qualify for the Derby. Love and Hugs, JB
shirleeinindy
Judy,
I hope Mucho Gusto came out okay. Don’t know if that #1 post did him in or he doesn’t want 1-1/4 mile. Proud of him anyway. Can’t be too sad that the sire of Cutting Humor is First Sam dad of Lea. I have another favorite He Who Cannot Be Named. Steve H likes him too. Shaping up to be a very exciting Derby.
Sheena, Thanks for the video of Mike talking about the little bird. If she has half of her mom or dad’s talent she is going to be a star.
Hope all here on the Blog are doing well and awaiting spring. We have some snow flurries forecast for this weekend!
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
I hope MG came back OK too. I don’t think those very fast fractions in the first quarter helped him any either. You’re so right, this is a wide open Derby. Hope we come up with the right longshot(s). ?

Thank you for that beautiful story. So glad she is with someone who loves her and is doing okay. Bless him for having faith and not putting her down.
Gotta send prayers and good wishes to Thunder Snow in Dubai. I have been his fan since he showed how smart he was in that muddy Derby.

Godspeed Thunder Snow; safe and sound. Love and Hugs, JB
