I said the same thing to my husband about MMM today but everyone was saying that about Game on Dude yesterday__It’s not our decision it was Bob’s and now it’s Kathy’s we should just butt out and let our trainers make these decisions–by the way we had Blingo who’s just getting it all together kick and buck his way into the gate today–it’s John’s decision–they know them best–i’m just happy we have them all now–one of the the greatest 4 way finishes in years at Santa Anita

Dear BGG,
Thanks for posting the link for the Santa Anita Handicap! Great race!
Congratulations to Game on Dude, Mike Smith and all connections — Well done!
Cheers
Happy Birthday Cozmic One!
The time has gone by so fast-hard to believe it has been 2 years.
Take a look at the Big Cap video.
One day you and Mike Smith may be winning races together-like your Mom!
Until then, grow strong and stay healthy!
No, there is no direct relationship between Coz and the Big ‘Cap. However, the Big ‘Cap is a horse race, and people on this blog generally are interested in horse racing. A lot of coversation takes place on this blog, and quite a bit of it has nothing to do with racing at all. That is the way it is and the way it has been for years. You are free to ignore any subjects or conversations in which you have no interest. You might try the Forum side if you prefer more subject-specific conversation.
Happy birthday Coz!
I have a npic of you as a baby dancing like your mom! I hope you start doing that at the races and then go on to win big, Just like your mom!
Wish I could be with you to help you celebrate this big event in your life. Can’t wait to see you run at Santa Anita when I am lucky enough to be there.
Dear Coz,
Best Birthday Wishes to you! Hope you have enjoyed your day with peppermints, carrots (cake?) and all the good things you love!
Happy, Happy!!
Hugs and Kisses
JudyB. Fantastic win for CC. His trainer said that the critics refer to him as having a modest background because he is not Kentucky born, but the horse doesn’t know that. That was a wow win. You picked a winner!
Checked CC’s Chart and he’s a CA homebred and has started 9 times; 5 wins and 1 second. Another Grand Ole Chestnut, as Ann would say. Love and Hugs, JB
Max
JudyB. Whenever I see a chestnut win, I think of Z’s Red. He is incredibly handsome and he looks to be a bit of a bad boy. Love those kind of horses.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Max:
He’s always had a confident look and poise from the beginning. Guess we’ll never see a Chestnut without thinking of him. Potential Chess Club member. Love and Hugs, JB
Ann NC
Max and JB,
Of course, Z13 is a bad boy, he has had the influence from that Moon kid!
Way to go, JB. Cali Chrome is wonderful!
Who knew the Chess Club would be so cool!
COZ-Hope you had a special day. Love your baby boy photo.
Did your kitty, Daisy sing you a tune? MEEE OOOWWW.
Max
Those moon guys are two in number. Coz had his friend, and then one showed up in Red’s paddock. Big trouble guys. Love them.
Dear Judy B.,
Thanks for the link to the San Felipe Stakes! Wow! California Chrome gave a “sterling” performance! Big congratulations to CC and all his team!
Cheers and Hugs
Got my dates mixed up on MMM’s Risen Star win. Should be 2011. I said 2008 in my post; that’s the year he was born. Just realized my mistake. Sorry. Love and Hugs, JB
JudyB. Thanks for these. Beautiful colts, but Coz also looks all business in that photo. Formidable at 2. Let’s hope that he inherited his mother’s work ethic and her will to win.
He really does look so much like Z and Street Cry and Bernie. Wouldn’t it be something if he inherits their racing talent too. Don’t know when that photo was taken, but I’ll bet he’s more filled out and muscled up since he started training. So handsome. Love and Hugs, JB
Max
JudyB. It may be time to start pacing for Z and the new baby as the time draws near. Also time to wonder when Coz will train. He may go to NY later this summer or Saratoga? Lots of possibilities for his boy. Birthday coming up for Z and Red on April 1. Have to consider cake situation.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Max, Sheena and Z Fans:
Yes, will be interesting to see where JS decides to train COZ; East Coast or West Coast. That’s right we’ll be sending Birthday wishes to Little Big Red very soon. I like chocolate cake with Marshmallow Fluff topped with coconut.
Just found this confirmation that Balance, half Sis to Z, has indeed delivered a colt by Frankel. Maybe you and Sheena already were aware of this. I have tried for a long time to find out whether Balance was ever declared in foal to Frankel and could find nothing. This is exciting news. Love and Hugs, JB
Hello all, as I’m leaving for the week I’m sending all the Devotionals so you won’t miss them.
We are not always granted the privilege of going back and doing things differently. If we were, could we? We might if we had new knowledge. Otherwise, we would do the same thing we did before. It was all we knew. Every race has had its Trial of Tears, in fact, every individual has suffered and agonized over what he might have done. Gentle people hope that by cooperation things will work for all concerned. It isn’t in the hearts of the gentle to think that others do not have their same heart-felt ways. But challenges in the present time are sufficient without adding the past. If we know so much now, we need to use it. We can, sometimes, project ahead of knowledge. If we lack such inner knowledge, if we lack wisdom, we need to ask. And then we listen for the still small voice of direction.
Chief Ross led in prayer and when the bugle sounded and the wagons started rolling many of the children waved their little hands goodbye to their mountain homes.
Private John Burnett
The more stress we have the less we like other people-and ourselves.A little pressure is sufficient. Stress can be productive if it is something we like doing. But when we can no longer ka no gi a, enjoy and sing about life, we need to re-evaluate the direction we are going. It is impossible to withdraw from every problem, but neither can we go on without some relief. Being responsible is a natural part of life-very necessary to living well and being contented. To find a happy medium is to center ourselves where peace and answers can be found. it does not come from noise and complaints of the world-but from the secret place of harmony and strength within the heart. It is a place that must be added to and kept harmonious, for it gives us poise and renewal when we need it.
Once you have heard the meadowlark and caught the scent of fresh-plowed earth, peace cannot escape you.

Can you see the wind? Can you see the fragrance of flowers floating on the breezes? Can you see thought or what it is that changes a tree from bare limbs and brown leaves to lush green? Can you see love or joy or peace? We can only see evidence of these invisible things, and it is enough to make us know they do exist. The substance of life is so evident, so real and beautiful. Why is it that we ever question the existence of our Creator, who set all things in motion? Are we so base, so grounded that unless it gives us momentary pleasure, feeds our starving appetites, we cannot recognize the greatest help available? It is Galun lati, the Great Holy Spirit, invisible but more real than all we see that is tangible.
We see the changes of day and night///the seasons, the stars, the moon, the sun. Anyone must know it is the work of some one more powerful than man.
Chased-By-Bears
It is too easy to believe we are at the end of the line when it is only the beginning. One more step, one more effort may be all that is needed. It would amaze us if we knew how close we are to stepping past an old barrier-and it would shake us to know how close we came to quitting. Some would say it is too late-that too much has happened, we cannot go back and recapture what was lost. We have destroyed too much, bent the twig too far. And so it is true in some things. It is true that we have hurt and been hurt. We can’t go back, but the spiritual basis on which we stand can lift us up. Sometimes we have to sift our own lives to see what is worth saving, and then we find the Great Spirit made us. What He made is good and we should not let it go to waste. It is the time to turn over a new leaf to rediscover Divine connections.
Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream.” But we Indians didn’t have a dream. We had a reality.
Ben Black Elk
There are special places in our lives that live on forever. Just entering there in memory makes them live again. We feel the heat and the cold, catch the fragrance so familiar, the aroma of certain foods, or even hear a bit of a song. There are too many reasons to count, too many feelings, for us ever to lose touch with some part of us that was then-and is now. People are part of our memories, too-living within our thoughts and influencing our thinking like the wind that we feel but cannot see. We are make up of many things, many experiences that we do not want to lose, but we also have the power to keep yesterday in its place and make the most of today. Yesterday was the foundation, but today is the house, and we’re living there and keeping things in their proper order.
As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I became civilized.
Ohiyesa
Few things can dominate nature when she is about to make a change. relentless and determined, she has a plan and it may take a few runs before the door is slammed on winter-but it is coming quickly. A subtle greening has begun in sheltered places. The wild rose canes laid flat by cold winter winds are no longer gray. Purple striped dayflowers and tiny four-petal blue-eyes bloom profusely with a minimum of sunlight and warm air. The wild strawberry known to Cherokees as a ni, has put out new leaves, and we see the eternal miracle that never grows old-the new baby calf. When frost put down the flowers and stopped the birds from singing last fall, spring seemed far away. Now she is knocking on the door, and if we answer her with seeds she will hide again. But not for long. We just need a little time to prepare. If we are to see it all, we must begin now.
We were content to let things remain as the Great Spirit has made them.
Chief Joseph
Why judge yourself by what someone else is saying? They only know what they think. Can we fit our lives into the narrow confines of theirs? We can search our own souls. And most likely, we will find that we have connections uniquely our own-deeper in many ways than those with whom we would like to be in accord. But there’s no way we can whip ourselves into being like someone else. We can only make ourselves better. Regardless of how we have been conditioned to think, we know right from wrong. It is innate and speaks loud enough that if we want to hear it, we will. The only thing that keeps us from hearing is the clamor of voices outside ourselves-and they have no other purpose but to destroy. Don’t dally with trouble. Refuse to be a part of anything you would not look at in the light.
Each man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.

Dear Kathy Thank you for the week’s devotionals.Was delighted to hear Audrey is doing so well but prayers will still continue over here in sunny Wales!I was thinking of you last night when the Pomeranian won the toy group at Crufts.His name is Colin and he’s from Poland.Have’nt had much time yet to visit the furbabies,Marty was eating as usual!Hope you,Steve and the furbabies all have a great time in the desert don’t get lost!!Hugs to You,Kisses for Holly,Nikko and Sugar.Sheena
Thank you for continuing to pray for Audrey!That’s exciting that the pomeranian won the toy group! At Westminster a mini pin won the toy group. The Best in Show went to a wire-haired terrier. Have a wonderful week. I’ll be back Saturday. Will be sure to not get lost! Hugs from me, kisses from The Pack. Kathy
Dear Judy. Great pic of Balance’s foal,had heard she had given birth ,a carbon copy of his famous dad.Hope he’s as good on the racecourse.Love and Hugs SheenaX
Hi Zenny, just love the new Blog “Look”, hope you had some input into the design. Have to skip back and read all the posts.
Happy Birthday to your gorgeous son CoZ, and thank you Judy B for the pictures, he is my favorite because he was the first. Hope he had a wonderful day with lots of treats, I’ll have to go to his FB page and see if he has any BD pics.
Congrats to GOD, and the best jockey ever Mikey, on his big win. GOD didn’t get much press before the race, so I guess he showed everybody who was the best on that day. Also Congrats to WTC on his second place.
I’m looking forward to watching Honor Code on his debut on Wed at Gulfstream, don’t know the race # yet but I’ll post it when I do so those interested can watch. Hope he stays healthy for the derby.
Kisses to Mama Zen, handsome Red, and Birthday boy CoZ. and a kiss to My Indy.
Dear Ann,
Thanks for posting this wonderful B. Livingston photo of Honor Code! He certainly is a beauty! Hope they all stay safe and sound with no injuries.
Cheers and Hugs
Ann NC
Yes indeed, Marshall. Hope you were OK with that ice?
Hugs!
If he comes out of his prep race OK, the trainers will have to plan carefully if he wants this horse to make the Derby field. He will probably stake the whole thing on one of the 100 point races.
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years. What a day that was! Happy Birthday big boy!
Sure wish that 13Z was more visible. I’d love to see a video of him moving around his pasture with his buddies. Also some info on his temperament and personality.

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years. What a day that was! Happy Birthday big boy!
