I do hope when she finishes her racing career and she's being bred to raise a bunch of little Zenyatta babies, that her fans will continue to have some access to her. Her fans aren't going anywhere....we will always love our great, and beautiful Zenyatta....we will want to keep up with her for many years to come. My wish is to one day see her running free in a pasture...just being happy and content being a mama. I do think she will miss the excitement of her fans urging her on in a race!
When she's running it's so easy to get caught up in her startling athleticism that until she is quiet you tend to forget how staggeringly beautiful she is. And...Zennie kisses!
I just love her so much, I haven't ever loved a race horse like her, She is not only history and a legend, she is just so darn beautiful, and graceful..........and when she hits that race track, Look out! the big girl is serious then........... I was to young to see SEcretariat and Ruffian in person, But thankfully, I have got to witness a legendary mare at her best............God bless you , Zenyatta and your connections.............these videos of her everyday life, are PRICELESS...
Thanks Mr. Shirreffs for the care you take with your charges...it shows! Love the little details, ie. the clean leg wraps hanging outside to dry, the phone ringing, Zenyatta looks up..."is it for me?"
Beautiful Zenyatta! I hope to see you travel out of Cali...I know you love it there and all but so many of your fans don't live in California and we really want to see you STRUT! I bet you would love to visit NY....and make sure and bring the Guinness :)
I hope you see your way to 20 wins...and I hope you do it in style. She the country you are the BEST! Stay healthy girl and tell Sheriffs he's doing a great job of keeping you fit.
She's not only great because she's never lost, but it is such a rarity to have a horse stay healthy and run as long as she has. People may not understand that but she is special in that as well.....I wish everyone would just bask in her greatness and enjoy her for once instead of criticizing her for not running in certain states.....great training!
Zenyatta has a place in my heart right next to the one and only Ruffian. Thank you for lovingly guiding Zen's career and making these moments accessible to fans. I will finally make my first Breeder's Cup this year and it would be the thrill of a lifetime to see her in person!! :-)
As thrilling as it is to watch the videos of the horses racing, it is very nice to see them relaxing and just cruising around the barn area. Love the shot of Zenyatta kissing her farrier!
I want to thank you for the role you have played in Zenyatta's career. I have to admit, the first time I saw her was at the BC at Santa Anita. All I was thinking was, have a safe trip against those boys. Then, I witnessed the most exciting race I've ever seen. We returned to see Zen after her (thankfully short-lived) retirement. I was at the rail, beer in hand, toasting to Zen and connections. You walked the track, made eye contact, and looked as thrilled as the fans to be there.
she is so huge next to Zardana..... beautiful girl.... beautiful heart... I have never seen another horse like you in all of my 42 years.......glad you came home safe this weekend girl, although Mike did give me a bit of a heart stutter with that 8 wide move.... you got this, and you alway will!
Thanks for taking these videos! Thank you and Dottie for signing my photo after the race Sunday. I took it at SA opening day, Dec. 26 at her "retirement". I missed seeing her dance, since I waited away from the crowd by Clocker's Corner, but the photo was worth it. I gave one to the Moss' and would love to give you and Dottie one too. I know I'll be at Del Mar to see her again! Wouldn't miss it!
Thank you, John, for another wonderful video. She sure thrives on the love and care she receives from you all there in the barn. Even her farrier gets kisses of gratitude for keeping her comfortable so she can fly like the wind. Watching Mario fluff up her bedding was so sweet to see. Seventeen straight wins? Absolutely amazing! We here in Indiana are completely in love with Zenyatta. She is a gift from God.
The Perfect Way to start my day - Watching Zenyatta - She always makes my day go better :) Thank you John for this video, I loved the kiss! Zenyatta Kisses! WOW , did he wash his face? LOL
Mr. Sherriffs,You have a wonderful sense of humor. I laughed till Icried when I caught the double meaning of that kiss! What a clever way of saying it............
Jon, Thank you so much for this inside look into the horse I love. You and her entourage are the most amazing loving people, we can tell how much you love her. She will go down in history as the number one horse, I know it, no horse will ever compare to her, She is Amazing. God Bless her and yours, Michele.
I may not ever get to see her in person but she has given me and my family many thrills and joy watching her on TV and sometimes youtube moments after the race.You and Zenyatta and all her connections brought the joy and romance back to horse racing.Thank you.
She is so magnificent. I came all the way from Portland last weekend to see her run in the Vanity, first time seeing her in person, and it was such an incredible experience! I will treasure the memories, and hope that if she runs in CA again this year I can make the time to come see her. She is worth the trip.
What I wouldn't give to receive special kisses from Zenyatta! So precious. Thank you again Mr. Sherriffs....Words can't describe how great she is or just how much I love her...Thank you for ALL you do.
I do hope when she finishes her racing career and she's being bred to raise a bunch of little Zenyatta babies, that her fans will continue to have some access to her. Her fans aren't going anywhere....we will always love our great, and beautiful Zenyatta....we will want to keep up with her for many years to come.
