Jerry and Ann Moss' two-time champion ZENYATTA will make a special appearance in the Keeneland paddock on December 6, shortly after her arrival in the Bluegrass to begin her new career as a broodmare. Zenyatta is scheduled to arrive in Lexington, Kentucky, at approximately 3:45 p.m. (EST) on that date. She will then board a van to Keeneland and will be paraded in the paddock at approximately 4:15 p.m. The public is invited to see her before she is then vanned to her new home at Mr. and Mrs. William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Kentucky. In the future, fans wanting to see Zenyatta will need to check her website at zenyatta.com, or at lanesend.com, to see what her schedule might be while she is preparing for her life as a broodmare. According to Zenyatta's website, exercise rider Steve Willard and groom Mario Espinoza will accompany the six-year-old superstar on the plane, while the Mosses, trainer John Shirreffs and his wife, racing manager Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, will be on hand in Lexington for her arrival. Purchased by David Ingordo on behalf of the Mosses at the 2005 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, Zenyatta has been based throughout her stellar racing career at Hollywood Park.
