Happy Mother’s Day!
Team Zenyatta headed to Lane’s End for the day and spent some time in the Kentucky rain with Momma Z and her colt. Z even gave some flowers to her human mom! We thought we would share a few of our Mother’s Day moments.
To all of the amazing mothers out there, all of the best to you and yours.

I love the one with 12 Zenyatta jumping up at his very large mother, Zenyatta.
What lovely photos you all took and thanks for sharing them with us.
So very glad Zenny got you a bouquet, Ann, you so very much deserve it.
We will see what she gets Jerry for father’s day ??????
And John Sherriffs is meeting Zenny’s crazy colt, how very cute.
Shannon From Cool, CA
What a wonderful surprise for all of us to see these pictures. A gift for us all.
It’s pretty clear that 12 Zenyatta is going to be a handful. Glad John S. is having an early introduction to him.
Sue Fl CPRC
Yes it sure is wonderful. I missed this yesterday. Baby Z might need a timeout.
Nora Brown

Happy Mother’s Day Zenny!!! Thank you Lane’s End and especially the Mosses for sharing your day with us. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, but human and animal. Little Z isn’t so little anymore. He’s not only big physically, but personality wise too!!!

Beautiful and inspiring photos. Z and Team Z look fantastic. 12Z is growing quickly especially those world class ears. Baby Z obviously loves his mom. This is nice to see. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.

Zenny, you are a beautiful soul, so glad you are here in my lifetime. Lucky us. Happy Mother’s Day!

Hi Team Z,
I just wanted to tell you how touched I have been by you guys and Zenyatta. It is very obvious that you guys love her. You are definitely not the typical horse racing owners. I love the fact that you have chose to document her life and share her with the public! She has a very genuine and sweet spirit about her. I am not even a horse racing fan, at least I wasn’t until I saw Zenyatta. She brought something so very special to the race. I love her “Happy Dance”. That’s what I call it. Her personality is what grabbed my attention. I saw the video of you buying her at an auction. That’s amazing! She was meant to be with you.
One of my favorite movies is Secretariat. I hope that someday you guys make a movie of Zenyatta’s story. The cool thing is, she could play herself. Lol! I don’t think any other horse could represent her good enough or be able to do her famous dance. Happy Mother’s Day! It’s very refreshing to see such caring owners with such an awesome horse! I hope I can meet her someday!

OH, my! Z’s owners are more typical than not, actually. I hope you meet more of them at some time in your life. You’ll be amazed.

Happy Mothers Day Ann, and again Zenyatta!! Wonderful pictures. LOL, Arlene
Cathy
It looks like Baby Z might be teething! Happy Mother’s Day, Zenny!

Could very well be, love that photo of him rearing up to “kiss” mom, or maybe he was jealous of her attention and wanted to get some for himself;
OF COURSE NONE OF THE HUMANS COULD REAR UP AND REACH HIS MOM
SO HE OF COURSE WAS VERY SPECIAL ON HER VERY SPECIAL DAY.

Awwwww!! How sweet and beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing your Mother’s Day with Zenyatta with those of us who love her from afar. You are so gracious and kind and the most generous souls. Thank you for all you do for us. Thank you for loving Zenyatta and being the best Mom to her!!

Sarah Powell, Clemson, SC
So glad to see these wonderful pics – just made my day! Team Z is the best but The Queen deserves only the best (as does the not so little Prince!) He makes me laugh every time I see a picture of him. Someone is going to have their hands full with his training! LOL
Peppermint
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there. Thanks to Team Z for the special pictures and sharing the day with us. I can’t believe how big 12Z is and shedding off to be dark like his mom too.
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Wow! Another post– before Monday! The pictures are absolutely stunning. They are all perfect. The top one looks like Baby Z. is trying toi take Mom’s halter off! What a character he is.
SO glad Team Z. got to come for a visit. If I were Ann, that would make Mother’s Day for me for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

A very special “Thank you” to Ann and Jerry Moss, for sharing your special girl with us. A very Happy Mother’s Day to Ann and Zenny!

Calling all Z Dumplings far and wide – with or without name tags; calling all Rednecks – all chapters; calling all Equi-Army team-mates; calling all Z-ster posters with FB and Forum access:
Advance ticket sales start tomorrow! As promised last year, I’m willing to do some legwork (that is not a redneck term!) to help everyone get all the scoop they need. I will call group sales to see what sort of bargains we can get at several price levels for groups of 20 or more. From the list I started last year, I know there are at least 30-40 people on the list. I’ll also contact secretariat.com to see if they are the Z-Party organizers again this year and to let them know a large herd of Z-Dumplings want to be part of the fun! I will post everything I find out Monday night PDT.
Here’s what I need from all of you: FOR THIS EFFORT ONLY, please email my work email (do not respond here, it’s hard to read through posts from work) with the subject line “BC2012 RSVP” and the following info – your name (real, please), your posting moniker, how many in your group definately coming to BC2012; do you have your hotel already?; how many in your group are probably coming to BC2012; or sorry, you can’t make it.
Do please let the Z forum, FB, and EANDO peeps know since I can’t get to all of them.

Anyone coming to town early, here is an event you won’t want to miss..
Trott (training racehorses off the track a 501(c)(3) charity) is having an encore ‘performance’ of the Legends event on Tuesday Oct. 30 at the famous Derby restaurant, near the Santa Anita track. The original event was in March, and was such a hit that Trott thought they would repeat it to give out of towners a chance to mingle with some of the best in the biz. Our guest panel will most likely be the same as last time, Kayla Stra, Gary Stevens, Jack Van Berg, Joe Talamo, Laffit Pincay, Mike Smith. The event is held in a party tent behind the restaurant, the evening starts at approx 7pm (final details coming soon) with our panel and some suprize guests enjoying a light buffet right alongside party go’ers. The fun starts when the moderater, Gary Stevens, gets the panel telling stories about one another. It was so funny last time, they had us in stitches. Forget that Jockey’s show, these guys should be on Comedy Central.
If you can get into town on the Tuesday before the BC, you will have a lot of fun at this party, and, of course, you will be helping raise $ for re-training retiring racehorses. I believe the cost (including a buffet) is $50.price not yet confirmed. This is a great chance to rub elbows with some of your racing favorites all under one roof! Here are some pix of the last Legends Event:-

Thank you for sharing these wonderful Mother’s Day photos of Zenyatta, her colt and her human connections! It is terrific to read and see photos/videos of the colt’s continuing progress. I am amazed how big he has gotten, and oh, those ears! It appears as though he is going to be a big boy! (Well, they say boys take after their Mothers.) Happy Mother’s Day to Moms everywhere!

Happy First Mother’s Day Zenny! I love the beautiful pics of you with your boy and your ‘human’ mom, Ann. The pic of Baby Z and Zenny is so precious. I echo the sentiments expressed about Jerry and Ann sharing their beautiful girl’s life off the track with us. She is truly loved the world over, but it’s very clear how much you both love her and her handsome boy!
