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.

Thanks for the great pictures. I tried early this morning to send Zenyatta happy Mother’s Day wishes but was having trouble with my computer and couldn’t. Happy Mother’s Day Zenyatta! It looks like you had a great day in the pictures.
Margaret I'm ECSTATIC!!!!!
I just hope 12Z wasn’t too sassy to his mom. Maybe his playmate called him a name and he was asking momma what it meant!

Sue Fredrick Co-P WI Chapt.
Team Z and LE staff,
Wow, you are really spoiling us now, these two posts so close together, we are so very, very grateful for every little bit of information we get on Zen and EARnie. I just love the soft look Zen gets in her eyes when she sees Ann……pure love.
EARnie looks like quite the little stinker, he’s sure to be a handful, wait till he gets weaned and put in with all the other brats…….wish I could be there to see it.
Diana S, sure hope your back to your crazy self in no time, sorry to hear you were under the weather.
Bernadette N, sorry to hear about your bout with cancer, shall add you to my prayers for a speedy recovery. Bless you,.
Kisses on your noses MaMa Zen and EARnie, Auntie Sue
Terry Crow GP

Happy Mother’s Day Zenyatta! You are looking good. Keep 12Z safe & teach him everything you know! Love you & Team Z. ^-^
Joanna from TX
Wonderful pictures! Thanks to all Team Z folks. I also found a couple of short videos on RA’s facebook page, one of RA/Taco and one of Zenny/WeeZee (love that nickname) that I think were done by a local newspaper out there in celebration of Moms’ Day.
My day was great; hope the same for all the moms.
evy
So cute!!! Thanks for including us in your Mother’s Day good wishes.
Love to Zenyatta!!!!

Sweet, sweet pics! Thank you Team Z!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Well, here I am again – a day late and a dollar short as the saying goes (or a whole set of new pictures and 100 comments behind anyway, and it’s only 9:00!!!!). If you missed them, Zenny, my Mothers’ Day greetings were on the previous post.
These pictures are just TOOO CUTE!! How absolutely super that Ann and Jerry were able to visit for your very first Mom’s day! I know that you were thrilled to see them and show off little Prince! Is he trying to tell you a secret?? And the flowers for Ann are really a classy touch :-) Many thanks to Team Z and Lane’s End for the lovely surprise!
Rosemary McCauley-President Arizona/New Mexico RNC
Team Z – beautiful, amazing photos of the Queen and her Prince. Thank you for sharing them with us. Its beautiful that you shared your Mother’s Day with them.
Rosemary McCauley-President Arizona/New Mexico RNC
Diana S. Glad to see you back. Are you interested in sharing the presidency of the Arizona/New Mexico RNC?
I will email you with my info on the BC20l2. Thank you for going to this effort.
Terry Crow GP
Rosemary-if you wish to do so, I certainly have no objection. It is wonderful to see Diana S posting again.
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
Terry – If Diana S has time to respond and is willing, I planned on suggesting that we follow CRPRNC and have her position approved by TCGP.
Definitions: CRPRNC = Civil Rules of Procedure for Redneck National Club.
TCGP = Terry Crow, Grand Poobah.
I also am glad to see her back posting.
Terry Crow GP
All of us are. She is a busy lady, so we will have to see.
Diana Stuart
You can keep your alphabet soup, missy. How can you be president of a chapter and not live in the chapter’s geographical location? Eh? Me an’ Denise Wolford have decided we’ll arm wrassle any intruders!
As for you, Mr. Crow – grand poobah indeed! I go on work assignment and sick leave and the place goes to heck.
Keep up the good work!
diastu is no carpetbagger in tempe ARIZONA!
Terry Crow GP
Rosemary would not be the first president or congressman or senator who does not live in her geographical area. I think the chapters should be based on where your heart is, rather than your body. We haven’t heard from Denise in quite some time. If you all want to be president, I suggest that you don skunk costumes and fight it out. Otherwise, it remains status quo.
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
Skunk costume at the ready should it be necessary.

PEPPERMINT KISSES TO ALL

Afleet Alex was a great horse with one of the more heart warming stories attached to him. We are all happy that Giacomo won his Kentucky Derby, but it was a roughly run race (sound familiar?) and, to be honest about it, Alex was probably the best horse as he proved in the Preakness and Belmont.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Terry Crow:
Afleet Alex touched my heart in the Preakness that year. He stumbled at the last turn almost to his knees and came back on to win it. Wonderful horse. One of my all time favorites. I think he was the best three year old in 2005. Here’s a video of the 2005 Preakness. Hugs, JB

Terry Crow GP
Thanks so much for this link. Has it really been seven years since that race? As I recall, there was a little girl who was selling lemonade and donating her money to charity in the name of Afleet Alex. One of the most underrated horses of all time.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear GP TC and Z Fans
Yes, here’s a link with the whole story. I just found out about the fact that Afleet Alex was not nursed by his Dam. Didn’t know that part until I read this article. Hugs, JB

Terry Crow GP
Thanks, Judy for what Paul Harvey would have called the rest of the story. Brought back a lot of memories. There were a lot of stories connected with Afleet Alex, all of them good. As i stated, one of the most underrated horses of all time. If he had won the Derby he would also have had a movie made about him. There should be one anyway.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear GP Terry Crow:
You’re so welcome. Yes, The Afleet Alex story would make a wonderful movie. Hugs, JB
Diana Stuart BC2012 NEWS FLASH!
I love the photo of Afleet Alex that usually runs in Blood Horse – is he really that fuzzy-faced cute? Have never seen him in person but would love to.

Judy-Thanks so much for these links. I had partially forgotten just how wonderful the story of Afleet Alex was.
Sally B. (cherish Z- Wi.)
Judy B, thanks for all these links. I never had a computer until two years ago!! ha To run the Belmont with that kick of energy to win by so many lengths showed the industry and crowd what he was made of.
hugs
Zowie
Thank you so very very much for sharing those gorgeous pictures of Queen Z and the Prince. Absolutely Adorable.
Joyce Groth

Abigail from Montreal
Good morning sweet Zenny, Z-12, Team Z and Zen-sters!
How lovely to open my computer this morning and find Mother’s Day greetings from Team Z — albeit, a day late as I didn’t check in yesterday. But never mind! I was thinking of Zenny, Rachel, Life Is Sweet, Hot Dixie Chick, Tasty & Tasty’s foal’s foster mother yesterday, as well as the 2-legged mothers, grandmothers & foster mothers who I met for the first time, right here on Zenny’s Diary.
(Belated) Mother’s Day greetings to one and all!
The pictures are exquisite and it always means so much to me to find a new posting here. (I’m not really a happy forum participant for some reason….)
Thank you so much, Team Z, for keeping the spirit of Zenny’s Diary alive with these lovely & interesting posts.
Love & hugs
Terry Crow GP
Abigail-As you have probably figured out by now, most of us who were on the old diary now call the blog home. It is more like what we were used to. It is always good to see a post from you. Hoping you visit us more often and that Doodlebug is doing well.
