      I know I will be very emotional tonight. Just like watching our Z race for the last time. Win or lose, it’s just hard knowing you won’t see that awesome form and feel that thrill of seeing them run. How blessed I have been to be witness to so many wonderful horses. Be safe Winx.

      Dear Sheena,

      Thanks for the anthology of Winx races. She is SO amazing — pure joy to watch!
      Best of luck tomorrow, beautiful girl — safe and sound racing. We will miss you but wish you a wonderful retirement with lots of love. Thanks for the thrilling ride!

      Hugs and Love

    Always love getting to see Zenyatta and her babies. Zellda is a gift and I thank all responsible for her care and training and Ann for sharing with all of us Zenny fans. Please everyone follow the rules. I remember Zenyatta and Team Z being true leaders about letting fans have pictures and information and access. Dottie educated us as the voice of Zenyatta for nearly daily diary reports-SO generous. Unheard of to have such access. And yet, we were gifted with it. I am grateful for all of that patience and information and sharing. It opened some doors with some of the other owners and trainers, but never to the extent that Mr. & Mrs. Moss, John & Dottie, all of Team Z and Lane’s End gave and are giving. I love that we are seeing Cosmic One winning and happy in his second career.

      Judy,
      She is beautiful and looks like dad. You can see she is born to run and loves it. Mom will get her figure back very soon after chasing that little girl.

    She is certainly a beauty. And what a gorgeous farm. Wish her many happy years. I’m sure we will see her hopefully in California.

    Winx – what a great last race. Happy retirement. You sure were a superstar.

    And congratulations to Mike and Omaha Beach. What a weekend of great racing and still waiting to see the Apple Blossom.
