It was a pleasure to be able to spend time with Zenyatta and see her doing so well. She was looking so good and, most importantly, happy! It was especially great to visit with some of her longtime friends Claudia and Julio, who never missed a race. There was lots of joy to be shared, and of course a few carrots :)
We also were able to visit with Coz, and what a special experience that was. I have always wanted to sit atop Zenyatta, not even hoping to ride her, but never got the chance. There I was, with Isabela and Sergio‘s kind suggestions and help, riding Coz!! It was absolutely thrilling and such a joy…something I had never even dreamed!
He continues to do so well in his new life and they are very excited about his coming competition in the Thoroughbred Makeover this October 5-7. I am so hoping to be there and cheer him on. It is absolutely wonderful to see him soooo relaxed and happy and actually “jumping” in joy.

Thanks for sharing Ann’s visit to Zenyatta and Coz – always feel so good and warm all over whenever I visit this blog. I live near where the old Hollywood Park is and am glad I had a chance to meet Z up close during her days there. Not a football fan so obviously not thrilled what’s going on with all the construction on their new stadium. At least there is Santa Anita which I’ll be visiting in a couple of months. Stay safe and warm Z and all your wonderful friends and family!

Huge congratulations to the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam Naomi Osaka who beat Serena Williams 6-2 6-4.It was a controversial match but through it all Osaka kept her cool.We had Serena argue with the umpire smash her racket and get coached while on court.Someone said is this the example you are setting your daughter?Let your racket do the talking!Serena did redeem herself at the prize giving though.

Male tennis players have done far worse than Serena, and it was not a “meltdown”. Coverage was biased.

Dear Barbara B:
I didn’t get the objection to the “cat suit” either. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Barbara B:
Just read tennis rules allow leggings to the middle of the calf, but skirt or shorts have to be worn over them. Not familiar with tennis at all; who knew! Love and Hugs, JB
