She looks wonderful, muddy or spit polished. And what a remarkable greeting card from the class! That is so clever and cute! Yarn mane and cotton balls in her ears...just a wonderful keepsake.

Thanks too, for the picture of LIS's darling baby. Her people have to be thinking life is indeed pretty darned sweet with the foal in the SweetSpot. :))

Thank you Mathea for the wonderful pictures! Zenyatta is still breathtaking and Life Is Sweet's foal is adorable, as they all are. Zenyatta is thriving. Kudos to Lane's End. Team Zenyatta continues to show the way to all other owners on how to treat fans of their racehorses. They welcome us into Zenny's life and are allowing us to share in it. What other owner does anything like this? Jerry & Ann, and John and Dottie are just fantastic! And I loved the card the kindergarten class made. Kudos to them as well!

Giving the public access to Zenyatta while taking care of her needs is a daunting challenge but Ann Moss and Lanes End have to be commended for doing an excellent job and striking the proper balance here. Hopefully other owners and stud farms will be able to follow their example.

Thank you!!! I would use even more exclamation points or even type in all caps to imply shouting if I wasn't trying so hard to restrain my enthusiasm for the wonderful photos you have shared with us. It is truly fantastic the Mosses and Lane's End have been so generous in sharing our Queen Zenyatta even in her retirement and I remain so grateful for them. I'm sure you thought this was a tough assignment to get to visit the queen and take her pictures, but wow! you really did a splendid job, Mathea. Thank you again before I babble on. I am also grateful to the connections of Life Is Sweet to allow the adorable photo of her precious foal. It is a good day.

I want to add my thanks to the wonderful people who let us share these wonderful moments with Zenyatta and Lanes End. I would love to share her life for as many wonderful years as she graces this earth. And even if this will be the only outlet to do it, so be it. Thank you again.

Also thanks for the shorts of Life is Sweets baby, he is precious!

What a great birthday for Zenyatta! I love that Anne Moss and Dottie 'attended.' She's so very loved by so many people :>

Thank you BH-staff and Zteam for all the wonderful articles and photos of Z and many others. It means so much to me to be able to come along for the ride in some way even if it is just from a computer screen. I love horses so much and to be able to see them really makes me so happy and helps fill the void of not being able to own a horse of my own.

I know that Z is going to go to Mr. B, but what about Tiznow sometime in the future? I am not sure about the nicks between them, but aside from that looking at pictures of them both I think they would be a good match.

Never thought about Curlin but YES he does have that look My Goodness all I have heard is the genes that far back doesn't matter...Oh, MY they really do....

Overwhelmed with the Awesomeness of Zenyatta, was she bred again???

Favorite pictures are:

TerriV — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 14:12:03 GMT

Thank you so much for the spectacular pictures. They just made my morning. She still looks the queen and always will be the queen. What she accomplished and the love she awoke in so many is a legacy that will be almost impossible to match. Life is Sweet's foal is a doll. Can't wait for both Zen and Rachel's babies. How goes Zen's second try?

Happy birthday Zenyatta! Today I was reminded of just how extrordinary you really are. You never got beat. Sure winners were beaten today. Uncle Mo for one. It is mind boggeling what you did.

LIS's foals star on his forehead looks like the Dreamworks logo of the little boy fishing from the moon. Also to Ragsy, doesn't MOW have a Curlin face too? They definitely get the same expression on their face.

re: Happy Birthday Queen Z!

shesfast — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 02:59:22 GMT

Yes Ragsy I agree with you I was thinking the same thing when viewing the MOW slide show too!

Thank you Mathea for the beautiful photos of Queen Z and the special photo of Life Is Sweet's precious foal. WOW - those dapples are still fabulous, even in the dirt. I appreciate the wonderful memories you're creating of Z's special occasions and sharing them with the BH racing fans, many of whom may never have the opportunity to ever see her in the flesh. I visit zenyatta.com regularly; Dottie Sherriffs does a GREAT job educating youngsters about Thoroughbred race horses and getting them enthused about horse racing. But I'm very appreciative for your mature presentation - please keep the memories coming! To LAURA J - I wholeheartedly agree with your response to Dale.

Life Is Sweet's foal is stunning and delightful would love to see her grow up..

Ragsy — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 22:55:36 GMT

Does Zenyatta look like

Man Of War, I looked at the slide show of him and to me she looks like his daughter. Beautiful!!! Will there ever be another like her? Such a special one, a magnet personality that draws people to her WOW!! Nope, not one like her..WOW what a horse!!
