Well, NYRA just announced that Bob Baffert can begin racing his horses again in New York. He had been banned from racing for the last year. I’m not happy about the industry’s decision to look the other way. But I’m trying to stay hopeful that the new HISA regulations will keep him under scrutiny. Am I being too unforgiving?

Dear Dee:
I agree with you. The Industry is way to lenient with trainers. They have to step up and put the horses’ welfare above all else. They have to dole out substantial punishment and I believe, in some cases, ban trainers permanently. Horses lives are at risk.

Dear Judy and Dee,
I absolutely agree with you. The horses must be the primary concern, and if so, then they will be safer as will their jockeys.
Hugs and Love

Oh boy, what a fabulous win today by my Bernie’s boy, Art Collector. Did Daddy proud. Congrats beautiful boy and to all connections. Great ride by Junior too.
Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Oh yes indeed that was quite a master class conducted by Art Collector and Junior Alvarado! Congrats to both, Bill Mott and all connections! Art Collector really is a handsome boy — love his coloration.
Hugs and Love

Dear Marshall and Z Fans:
AC is a handsome boy. He sprouted wings like Pegasus at the finish.
Wonderful efforts by Defunded, second; Stiletto Boy and Mikey, third; and Last Samurai and Frankie D, forth. The 10 cent Superfecta, which is a $2.40 bet, paid over $4,000.00.
Here’s the replay included at the bottom of the article from BloodHorse. Like the play on words in the article heading; Masterpiece indeed.

Dear Z Fans:
Don’t miss the last sentence of the article on Art Collector’s Pegasus win. It’s a comment by our Mikey on how he rode Arrogate when they won the Dubai World Cup in 2017. Too cute!
Love and Hugs, JB
Kathy
Dear Judy,
What a delight to watch! Thank you for sharing! Loved Mikey’s comment, too, at the end!
Hugs,
Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting the article/replay of the Pegasus World Cup. AC sure did show them how it is done!
Yes, I noted Mike’s reference to our girl, Z! What a team they were!

Barbaro😪
Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Gosh, 16 years! Where did they go? I must be old. 😳
What a wonderful horse he was — left us way too soon. 😔
I will never forget how hard they tried to heal him and how hard HE tried
to heal. Alas, I know he is running with wings. RIP beautiful Barbaro.
Hugs and Love

Dear Z Fans:
Gorgeous Rich Strike headed to Dubai and the World Cup. Godspeed beautiful boy; all runners safe and sound.

Dear Z Fans:
Rich Strike’s trainer. I found this article very confusing. What do you think?
They always say “Bute has a lesser potential to influence performance”. I’ve read it’s given to relieve pain. So doesn’t that suggest the horse is not one hundred percent fit and the med is given to enhance performance?
Rather the horse not race until he’s completely fit instead of racing with med that masks the pain.
Just my opinion.

Kathy
Dear Judy,
Wow…I’m with you 100%!
Hugs,

Hi, Judy & Z Fans,
Bute is an NSAID just like ibuprofen, naprosyn & aspirin and you are correct that horses should not be racing while it is in their system. It is a pain reliever & anti inflammatory and a horse could make the injury worse while working or racing while on it. I think that bute is the most commonly used medication for pain & inflammation in all types of horses.
I hope that all Z Fans & their four legged companions are doing well. I keep up reading the blog but rarely post any more. I do keep you in my prayers. Take care, everyone.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy and all Z Fans,
Disappointing but at least Mr. Reed owned up to making a mistake and apologized for the goof. This seems to be a rare response these days.
Fortunately, Golden Text came out of the race okay, thank goodness!
Hugs and Love 💕

Apparently I’m still not going to be allowed to post. I haven’t a clue why but will keep trying. I do hope Zenyatta, Zellda and, their babies as well as Zilka, Cosmic One and Ziconic are all doing well. Here’s hoping all Zster’s everywhere are doing well. Happy Groundhog’s Day good luck to all those who race.
Martha Fox
Still tryibg to post. Perhaps someone didn’t receive my new email which I had to get to use my computer at all. I have no idea but will keep trying. Since we are beginning to come out of the deep freeze here in Oregon perhaps that will help. Happy Groundhog’s Day as well as Valentine’s Day.
Martha Fox
Still trying to post. Please tell mewhat the issue is so I can correct it. I’ve followed Zenyatta since her racing days and her arrival at Lane’s End. Please help me fix the issue (s) so I can once again communicate with other Z’sters again!~!!

Dear Z Fans:
Kudos to Mr Gagliano on his excellent article in the Paulick Report. Great to see the Jockey Club stepping up for national rules and regulations in the Industry.

Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Mr. Gaglione makes some very good points. He is spot-on about the status quo. Let’s hope HISA can be approved and enacted soon. After all if you love the horses, what’s not to like? Folks need to get their priorities straight!
Thanks for the article, JB❣️

Judy,
I just got on as I do daily to check for any news on Zenyatta or her kids. I also enjoy reading posts. I just noticed on your evening greetings, you have “DC”. Who is DC?
Lynn
judy berube
Dear Lynn:
DC is DeCoronado, full brother to Z. He was Vertigineux’s last foal born the same year as ZICONIC, 2013 in GB. He was sold to the National Stud in Lybia in 2018. Here’s a photo of him; gorgeous boy:

How are the Pups doing? Love and Hugs, JB
judy berube
Dear Lynn:
I have to correct myself. DC was born in KY not GB and then sent to Aidan O’Brien for training. He broke his Maiden in Ireland in his second start. Sorry about that. Love and Hugs, JB
