ZENYATTA CELEBRATION TO KICK OFF 2011 BREEDERS’ CUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Popular Racing Star’s Connections to Welcome Fans at Kentucky Derby Museum on Championship Friday LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 4, 2011) – Breeders’ Cup Ltd., along with Zenyatta owners Jerry and Ann Moss, announced today the launch of the inaugural Breeders’ Cup Zenyatta Celebration, to be held Championship Friday, Nov. 4, at the Kentucky Derby Museum. With Zenyatta set to be the World Championships’ “Official Hostess,” the official all-day event will kick off the Breeders’ Cup racing festivities and welcome fans as they gather for Friday’s card. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Breeders’ Cup Charities. The Zenyatta Celebration starts at 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 4 with the Zenyatta Reunion Luncheon. The hospitality retreat will be available from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m., with the after-party immediately following the last race of the day. Package options for the Celebration include: • Luncheon Only (includes grandstand seating ticket) $95 • Hospitality Retreat Only $75 • Post-Race After Party Only $40 • All-Day Zenyatta Celebration (Luncheon, Grandstand Seating, Hospitality Retreat and After Party) $170 Scheduled to appear at the Zenyatta Fan Luncheon are the Mosses, trainers Dottie and John Shirreffs, jockey Mike Smith, and even Zenyatta will join via live video feed from her stable at Lane’s End Farm. At the Zenyatta Reunion, fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet with the racemare’s connections, participate in autograph signings, enjoy a Zenyatta memorabilia display and silent auction. During the races, the Celebration will offer a hospitality retreat complete with food, cash bar and a betting machine. After the races that day, fans will enjoy an after party where they can relive the most exciting moments of the race day. For more information, visit www.ZenyattaShop.com. “We continue to be overwhelmed by the love of Zenyatta’s fans,” said Ann and Jerry Moss. “She is truly a horse of the people, and we want the Zenyatta Celebration to be an event for everyone, from longtime racing fans to the casual fans drawn in to the sport by our queen. We are so thrilled and honored that Breeders’ Cup has included Zenyatta in the official festivities, and we are determined to make the party as memorable and fun as the action on the track.” “The Zenyatta Celebration is sure to become a Breeders’ Cup tradition,” said Carter Carnegie, senior vice president for Breeders’ Cup. “The celebration will be an amazing experience as we celebrate Zenyatta’s incredible legacy.” Throughout her extraordinary racing career, Zenyatta thrilled racing fans with jaw-dropping victories and heart-pounding finishes. However, it was her memorable Breeders' Cup performances, including her victories in the 2008 Ladies’ Classic, the 2009 Classic and her incredible finish at Churchill Downs in the 2010 Classic, that sealed her stardom and ignited a fan frenzy that has transcended the sport and endeared this stunning mare to millions.

When I read "a tradition like no other..." I expected Jim Nantz talking about the Masters.

For $20 any who are not interested in the Zenyatta party may attend the Volponi "dessert" party at the Churchill backstretch!

Sure, Tiznow may be known by fewer fans and disciples than Zenyatta, but a couple doses of "Tiznow tough as nails....heart-pounding, pulsating stretch drive" will catch everybody's attention. He'll rival Zenyatta's lure for sure when everybody's skin tingles during "the daunting presence of a Horse of the Year" and "Tiznow is battling on" through to "Tiznow wins it for America!!" Sure, my skin reacts to Zenyatta's wins too - it crawls. It's not her fault; I blame Denman for that. Considering how they've destroyed the event the past few years, I'm not surprised they are missing this unique opportunity. They just continue to grasp at Zenyatta's tail. This isn't stupid, but it's not the right time for it. I simply believe it's better to celebrate Zenyatta's Breeders' Cup legacy at the place she actually won her races. They wouldn't have to wait long as Santa Anita hosts in 2012. As for this being an annual event...pipe dream. Belmont attendees will destroy the booth when they finally get the Cup back. Well, I'm going to start internalizing and consider it a massive 'diss from the BC. I shall start a Facebook page featuring the comments and responses of a bitter Tiznow who considers Zenyatta a naughty B-word and depressive episodes stemming from not getting a a chance to 3-peat to not knowing his father on a deeper level.

i don't recall anyone having to campaign for tiznow to get the recognition he deserved either. he earned his kudos on the track, not by press release.

Zenyatta?? Was she that real good race horse who didn't run in open company enough and finished 1st and 2nd in two BC Classics? Within 10 years only the die hards will remember her. Is anyone still talking about used car salesman or lemonade stands any more? I remember that caused a lot of angst as well back in the day. I find it beyond humorous anyone at all is bothered by any of this. Any attention at all is still attention to horse racing. Whether anyone liked her or not, she was still really good. It was not her that requested the installation of synthetic surfaces. BAck to the sniping and regularly scheduled programming.

Some people think this is good but I don't think so. As many people that might attend some of the stuff, I bet that most of them were already going to be there. Are new fans really going to be coming in just for this? On the other side, I think that it will help keep some fans away. I know that if I was on the fringe about going, I wouldn't go now cause those people irritate me. Honestly, after some of the stuff I read on that Zenyatta webpage, I'd really be worried about being physically harmed by her fans if I didn't wear a Zenyatta button or ribbon or something. Don't get me wrong. I can handle one or two 12yo girls with no problem but 15-20 of them might hurt me.

Please don't misinterpret my question and assume I am somehow defending the Mosses... I just want to know...
What would you do if you were them? You have this horse with a multitude of fans and these fans want to know eevverrrryyythinggg. You want to come up with some charitable idea and I'd guess away from home to give other fans a chance to interact or whatever (shut up I know how iliterate i sound right now )...What would you do?
