Life is Sweet is just precious in these videos! Thank you so much for sharing them with us! I hope everyone is doing okay since Zenyatta has been gone... I check on her daily! I also love the other horses you train and love to listen to you talk to them and to hear you laugh in the videos! You are an inspiration, Mr. Shirreffs! Please keep posting these videos!

Hey! Dec 4 is my B-day

[MJLallo]

let the champion sleep......she's tired she's run a alot of races!

[LadyValtaya]

Life is Sweet is soooooooooooo cute in the morning!! She's like me about getting out of bed and waking up! XD Loved the footage of Zenyatta too, as always!! I think it is wonderful that you put this up here and let everyone have a glimpse at life inside a racing stable!! Thank you!!

[ruffianrulz]

Thanks John. How's Zenyatta? What's the race Zenyatta will be pointed at next? I heard Santa Margarita. I'm not sure if I'm right. I would like to see her in the Big Cap. Let me know on what's gonna happen. Best of luck to you and all your horses.

BTW guys...is this the same Life is Sweet that looked like she was shot out of a cannon at the Breeders Cup Ladies Classic???????

LOLOLOL  xoxoxo to her

[Tammicat21]

Golly...my life would be sweet too if I could get up when I felt like it and get spoon fed by a cute young man....lol

I AM IN TOTAL LOVE WITH ZENYATTA !!

(along with everyone else alive)

Are there any baby pics of Z anywhere?

[clarence6713]

My mom said she got to meet you at HP in between races. I told her to let you know how much we appreciate your videos. Especially the sleepy Life Is Sweet. I wish I hadn't gone to get a soda minutes before.

[christymca]

It's so fantastic that you give us all these "inside info" vids!! There's nothing better than getting to see your fave racehorses at home going through their daily paces!!

Thanks John!!!!

[Chariset]

Do you keep cotton or some other sort of plug in their ears?

[jonshfs05]

during training or when there is noise some of the horses have cotton in their ears.

Daddy, I made ya a few Mill, get me a blankie and let me sleep LOL :)

She sure is Sweet :) XOXOXO to her from snow filled Maine

Hi John, Gee I went onto the DRF web site, and saw that Zen had worked, so I went here and wellah. THANKS for placing it on here. I truely appreciate you being animal oriented (down on the hay with Life Is Sweet).. also Zen looked amazing just GLIDING wow similar to the stride of Seabiscit do you think?? PS I was raised with Frank Lisa, is his turf horse going to run again? HAPPY RETIREMENT to Zenyatta, so glad I was there at BC! DONT race her again hah! Been watching them since Northern Dancer.

[RedOakStables9]

She's beautiful!!! I loved her race in the Kentucky Derby!

[vikidobe]

Could you please do an interview with Mario? Ty!

[Fantasticsix1992]

Life is Sweet is such a ham.

Thanks for this, seeing Zenyatta always makes my day.

[Kekira]

I really wish Zen wasn't being retired. I'd love to see her travel and run against more horses.

[twall4]

A name that truly fits this girl... sleeping in... hand held food bowl... Cory making it "just right"... people around that take such good care of her... Life Is Sweet!

Zenyatta is, as always, stunning.

Love that little Sophie. I have 2 poodles. :)

[jeremyrosefan]

[LastTree]

Lovely video, thanks for sharing your race horse world with us.

[greyhorseazeri]

[redsox1079]

Love Z as usual. Life is Sweet is priceless!

[rainyrose23]

Life is Sweet reminds me of me in the morning, hahaha! Great video!

[BeachMist13]

They both look so stunning and beautiful you done a Perfect job with Zenyatta and Life is Sweet Congratulations :D

[silverhearts34]

Oh John I am in this FAR too much!! :-)

[apajax6]

Em, you gotta speak up! I could barely hear you! But at least you weren't trying to hide like Ali.

But mostly I just like the Life Is Sweet part. For her, life really IS sweet! And I'm with her on the anti-morning part...but if somebody shoved sweet feet under my nose I wouldn't turn it down.

[cocomango5189]

Zenyatta is truly a BEAST!

[Koshkamitsu]

What will poor Mario do once Zenyatta goes to Kentucky? He'll be lost without her, I bet.

[dustywhipp5]

Zenyatta looks great. Life Is Sweet, adorable.

[reposmoral]

Life is Sweet takes her naps VERY seriously! Looking forward to seeing what she does next year.

Zenyatta looks fantastic--like she's ready to race again tomorrow!

You take such great care of your horses.

[ragstoricheslover]
