Dear fans,
It’s rare that these blog posts aren’t Zenyatta-related, but this weekend we’re Team G!
If you’ve been following Kentucky Derby news, you know that Gormley will run tomorrow with Victor Espinoza aboard. Learn more about Gormley here, and tune in tomorrow at 6:34 pm ET to watch the race.
We wish the Derby contenders good luck and safe rides all around!
Go Gormley!

Ohhhh – Great to See Ann and best of the Racing LUCK tomorrow – would make my Oaks Derby double – just saying!
Lois in Tulsa
Great to see you Ann with a big smile on your face. I’ll be pulling for you Gormley every step of the way!!! I sure hope you like mud and slop as I’ve heard it is supposed to rain again on Saturday.
Best of luck in your race, and I pray that all the horses will come home safely.

We are all on board for Team G at the Derby. Hopefully both boys will make the Preakness and Belmont. GO Team Gormley and Team Royal Mo, and still, Team Z colts!

Looks like Gormley feels the same way about Ann as Zenyatta. Love. Run Gormley, run.

We get a lot more than mist these days but surprisingly for the UK it’s been a dry winter not even a flake of snow in Carmarthen a couple of hail showers recently and now continuing dry and sunny.Good day for the Guineas.

Thanks for the update from Team G!! Gormley has been on my watch list for a long time and it would make me so happy to see him in the winner’s circle at Churchill Downs today. It looks like he has fallen under Ann’s magic spell just like Zenyatta – horses know to always go where the love is. Run fast, run safe, Gormley!!!

Good luck, Gormley! Rooting for you! Safe trip for everyone!

MISS TEMPLE CITY SCRATCHED
GrahamMotion @GrahamMotion Saturday, 6 May, 2017
Miss Temple City is scratched today @ChurchillDowns with more rain this morning
I am not comfortable running on turf this soft off a layoff.

Dear BGG,
This sounds like a very wise decision from Graham Motion. It shows great concern for his charge, Miss Temple City. Better to err on the side of caution. Nice guy.
Hugs and Love

Sending GORMLEY the best of luck in today’s Kentucky Derby. He breaks from the same post position as American Pharoah. Can this be an omen?
Lovely to see Ann with him and that Gornley’s doing “a Zenyatta” on her!
To Gormley: Just try your best, sweetheart, and come home safe.
Dee in the Hudson Valley
Wonderful to see Ann looking radiant beside one of her beloved thoroughbreds!
Thanks to John Shirreffs for raising up another sound, healthy contender.
Safe trip at CC for gorgeous Gormley and a safe return back to SoCal.
Hope to see more photos of Ann and Mamma Zen soon…
Jeanie Esajian
Go Gormley! We are all behind you!!!!!

Best of Racing Luck today in the Kentucky Derby with Gormley. It is nice to see you Mrs Moss and I bet Zenny is glad to see you too.
Gail McDaniel
Go Gormley, indeed. I’m taking a break from my typing this rely – to put on my Zenyatta hat- Teal and Pink, Go Team G.
My husband had hoped that Royal Mo (a Moss/Shireffs) colt would make the draw.
Not to be. Perhaps the Preakness.
