J- Zenyatta should be associated with the song "Dancing Queen" by Abba, because she is all that and more. Remember I'm the one that thought of this, Michele.
Congrats on the wins yesterday by Zardana and Zenny! I'm sorry to see that Life Is Sweet is being retired. Could you make a special tribute video of her prior to her leaving for Kentucky? I've always enjoyed wathcing her sleeping in her stall.
Mr. Shirreffs, I just can't get enough of Zenyatta! After she retires please, please consider partnering w/ and author & doing a book on her! Watching these videos and her races are wonderful but a book about her life would be a lasting treasure. I've enjoyed books on Secretariat and Seabiscuit...........she is in a class with these greats and deserves a book. Who better to co-author than YOU?------
Guess there is no doubt who is better now. Appears Rachel may pull out of the Apple Blossem. After her performance I wouldn't want to meet Zenyatta either. Thanks for the videos, look forward to more.
The day we thought never to see again has arrived! Time to don your dancing shoes, Zenyatta. The racetrack is your glittering floor. The deep feelings which are shared for Zenyatta on this site are palpable. I don't think I ever did anything good enough in my life to merit having had the privilege of seeing Zenyatta. She is noblety in the flesh. Thank you, John Shirreffs for being there for Zenyatta! You have poured into her the best of what you are, and we are dazzled! God bless.
@childof68 Attention seeking ? Pot Kettle Black..... those training Barnes on track are not exactly the Ritz .Having now read a good few of your comments it is clear to me , you 68 are indeed a merchant of complete drivel. Despite this i too am pleased to be seeing Z on track again as i am RA . I personally think Z is by far the better of the two.
Mr. Shirreffs - thank you for showing that there are individuals in this sport who truly love their horses and delight in being around them. Your affection for your horses is contageous! Wish there were more people like you who show what they do is more than a profession. It's a passion. No wonder the horses give you so much in the afternoon!
Mr. Shirreffs, You and Zenyatta have brought us nothing but pure joy. It is because of your tireless schooling wisdom and tenderness that she is such a happy horse.For Zenyatta fans she will ALWAYS be our Queen and you will ALWAYS be the man who so patiently taught her to rule. The magic the two of you have created has brought endless smiles, endless joy to us all and will for decades to come. Only a truly great man would thank the ones who are so grateful to him.
she does look like she needs to just tighten up a bit ....should be just right after a run...RA still from what i can see has a winter coat an needs that sun on the back ....wat yee think?
Good luck tomorrow. Zenyatta.... May you run with all the joy you give us.May you feel how deeply you are LOVED.May you ALWAYS stay healthy and happy.
I love Queen Z's dancing. I've witnessed her in person. God blessed us with a real beauty!!! I looked forward to seeing her again on March 13th;15 for 15 sweetie :-)
That was hysterical - "You're not tall enough" and the retort "Go take a picture of the mare" How much fun do these people have every day - This is a job that dreams are made of -
For those of you who are not familiar with the L.A. area, Hollywood Park is located just east of Los Angeles International Airport. However, that sound you hear in the background is not the jets. It's Zenyatta, getting ready for take-off on March 13th!
Last comment by me LOL, I loved Rock Hard Ten (17 hands) he was oneof the most beautiful horses I have ever laid my eyes upon and this might be why I think his son is so amazing, he looks just like his father VBG it is erie how much they look alike :)
Lest we forget the ONLY part of the Great Zenyatta any horse has ever seen is her big, very big, BEAUTIFUL butt as she passes them by waving her tail in the wind at them as if to say " see ya!" and I doubt this will change anytime soon VBG :)
Yeah I agree! There's a lot of hype about him.. They write about him on Bloodhorse's Maiden Watch! He was suppose to run a little while back but he was scratched for some reason..
I seriously am dying to know who that last horse was if you have time to answer, he was such a looker, so balanced, so regal, compact , what a buy he was for mr moss, I am enamored with this one and his half moon star and ears are stunning,,,,,need info , more videos pleasssssssseeeeeeeee xoxoxoxoxoxo
That was Utopian.. He's a three year old by Rock Hard Ten out of Storm Alery. He hasnt raced yet but he's triple crown nominated. Im pretty sure but I may be wrong.. He's also owned by the Moss family
I think you said that last horse was Topian? wow what a looker, OMG so beautiful, any info on this one as I am just dumb lol I love this video as always, I love that Mr. Moss is out with his babies, how must it feel to have the world's great horse as your own? I cannot even imagine the Pride and Joy he must have for her. You make my day EVERY day with these videos :) xoxoxoxoxo from Maine
