TEAM Z. WINS AWARD
Team Zenyatta, which includes owners Jerry and Ann Moss, trainer John Shirreffs and wife Dottie, and jockey Mike Smith, have been announced as winners of the 2009 Big Sport of Turfdom award. The award, presented by Turf Publicists of America, is given annually to the person or group of people who enhance coverage of Thoroughbred racing through cooperation with the media and Thoroughbred racing publicists.
Although he may shy away from winner’s circle photo ops, Shirreffs always is available to talk racing. In fact, get him started on the history of this great sport and he won’t stop. Jerry and Ann Moss have been owners for decades and they truly understand the gift and greatness of Zenyatta. They also have been incredibly willing to share their feelings and plans with the media and fans throughout 2009.
Presenting awards are nice, but having a team of players committed to racing and its fans is the best. Congratulations, team Zenyatta!
Race On!
