Kathleen Marsh
It is so wonderful to see how well Coz is doing with Isabela. Not only for Coz himself but as an ambassador for all off-track Thoroughbreds.
Anne
He is such a beautiful and elegant guy.
Good luck Coz.
Darlene Daniels
OMG! I am crying tears of joy and pride for Coz and Isabella. Go Coz Go!!!!
We all love you so much and are SO proud of you!!!!
Lori Stein
Ahhhh! Congratulations, that is so exciting. What a journey Coz is beginning! I’m so excited for him tomorrow. Will be following him, DeSousa Stables, and Team Zenyatta ?
I saw a photo of 17Z at Mayberry farm the other day. Wonderful to see her and her buddy. Hope they are doing well learning their new lessons ?

Dear Roberta Gonzalez and Z Fans:
Roberta, I found this photo of ZI on his Facebook page. It’s dated September 10th. Does not note where he is located. Thought you would like to see it. He looks wonderful and as gorgeous as ever. There are 28 comments. Love and Hugs, JB

Judy Berube
Dear Roberta and Z Fans:
I’m so sorry. Turns out one cannot believe anything anymore.
I shared that photo of ZI on the Forum as well as the Blog. One very astute Z Fan noted that the photo is an old one of ZI because he is wearing an ID tag. Most likely taken at Lane’s End. The date of the photo has been misrepresented and the 28 commenters were duped along with me. My intent was to alleviate some of our anxiety about ZI with what I thought was a recent photo. Sorry about that. I have to remember we are living in the era of The Lie. Love and Hugs, JB
Roberta Gonzalez
Judy, as I was writing this post to you, I hadn’t read the newest post, that it was an old photo. It’s funny, because I thought it looked like an old photo, but wasn’t as astute as the other fan. This makes me wonder more then ever, where is he. I really think the person who has control over him should do the descent thing by him, and also let the people who love him know. If they want people to become more interested in the industry, what they are doing with Ziconic, and us, does just the opposite. They invite you in, you fall in love, and then they disappear; this sends out bad vibes!
Judy Berube
Dear Roberta:
I often search for updated info on ZI and when I came across this photo with the comments, I immediately thought of you. Could not copy fast enough and post it on the Blog and Forum for you and Z Fans to see. Knew it would lift our spirits to see a recent photo ZI.
Alas, I did not note the ID tag and from the photo background scene, seems it was taken no doubt at Lane’s End. Sorry my attempt to share some recent news on ZI didn’t work out. Will continue to look for updates on him, but I’m very much aware now to make sure what I find is true and genuine. Sorry.
Love and Hugs, JB

Judy,
It happens. We are all so anxious for news of him that it is easy to put one over on us. I had already posted on the other site when I saw your second post. I think we have to trust that the Mosses will do what is best for him as they did for Coz. Think if we got a tour of the de Sousa stables we might see a beautiful chestnut???
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
That’s very possible. I agree the Moss’ will do what is best for ZI. So sorry that my original post was misleading. Hopefully we’ll have genuine news of ZI in time. Love and Hugs, JB
Roberta Gonzalez
Thank-you so much Judy!!! It was wonderful seeing him again. I left a post. It is sad seeing him looking out at the fence. In the pasture pictures, he is looking for someone. This is a horse that liked people and working from an early age. He is still young, and doesn’t deserve to be put away in a pasture doing nothing. I would love seeing him do dressage, he would be a natural; he already dances, he is beautiful, he has good work ethics, and he likes people. I wish they would hurry up and make him happy, doing what he likes!!!
Stacey
This is awesome thanks for a good time. I will be there to cheer them on. This is great you guys are promoting retraining of tb’s that for horses that did not do well on the track.
Jane W
Way to go Coz and Isabella! We’re rooting you on! ❤️?❤️
Sandi Zarzycki
I luckily got to see him! Can’t wait til the finals

Coz everyone is supporting you through this new direction in your life. You Go Coz!

Winx wins as only she can.A few heartstopping moments she gains her 21st Group one and 28th consecutive win.Congratulations to this amazing mare and her teamX
Well done Coz and Isabela on reaching the finale.Love and hugs
Roberta Gonzalez
What a wonderful courageous mare!!! It seems like the last two races were sort of close together. As much as I like seeing her race, I hope this is the last year. I would hate to see her breakdown, and she is the type that won’t give up. Even though she will be missed, I hope they retire her soon, and let her make babies.
Celeste_in_Texas
Wow! Thanks for sharing the link! What an incredible mare!
Marilyn Braudrick
WOW!! That’s great. I guess my worries were groundless-worries that they were racing her too much. Still hope she continues to fare well! Thanks for the update. Still worried about Ziconic. Am going to SA today and will try to see John at his barn there. Zi is obviously off the track for now. Hope someone comes along for him as they did for Coz!! Thanks for the update on Coz!! IT’s so grand!!
Judy Berube
Dear Sheena:
Amazing, magnificent, beautiful Winx. She does it in the heart stopping, come from behind style of her big sis. Runs in the family. Congrats! Great ride by HB too. Love and Hugs, JB
Marilyn Braudrick
Could not get to John today. SA is open on Monday. a holiday here, Columbus Day. Fewer people. Will get to his barn then to find out about Ziconic. Sorry.
Judy Berube
Dear Marilyn:
Thank you. Love and Hugs, JB
shirleeinindy
Congrats to Winx and her team. Noticed that the rider never touched her with the whip. It was a hand ride all the way. Her American cousins, Zenyatta, Cos, Ziconic and little miss Zenyatta de Oro are so proud of her and wish her safe travel and good luck.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
She is truly AMAZING! Congratulations to the wondrous Winx, Hugh Bowman and all her connections. What an exciting run.
Thanks for the video replay. Love it.
Hugs and Love

Wishing Cozmic One and Isabela the best of luck in the Finale today at the RRP in Keenland. They have both worked very hard for this honor, I am so proud of both of them. Just getting into the Finale is a huge achievement. Kudos, great job Team Coz.
Martha Fosdick
unfortunately I don’t have a smartphone and I can’t afford to join anything that I probably could only use once or twice however, I know there are Zsters who will be there who will post the results and I’m eagerly awaiting them. Thank you so much in advance.
Gloria
Thank you for this update. I don’t know much about this discipline and I’ve followed every page on Social Media I can think of to get updates. Best of luck to Cozmic One and Isabela. She seems like a doll!
Loyal Zenyatta Supporter
Coz and Isabela came in 5th and they both looked wonderful, congratulations, so proud of you! I’m sure Ann is wiping away grateful tears as usual.
Celeste_in_Texas
Oh my Goodness!!! Thank you for the update and the photos and everything! I wasn’t able to see Coz’s round live, but watched it on Instagram and he is so awesome. How thrilling!! Thank you so much for sharing Zenyatta and her wonderful family with all of us who love her from afar.
Abigail1849
SO DELIGHTED!!!!
Many, many congratulations to Coz and Isabel who finished 5th in the final round. This is a HUGE accomplishment when you consider his age & inexperience. Most show jumpers on the circuit are between 8-12/13 years old and more at the 12/13 years level than 8 by far.
Team Z you are so special to help Coz find his very own stage to shine. And he sure did!
Love to all
Judy Berube
Dear Abigail:
Excellent job by COZ and Isabela. She is great with him. You are so right; amazing for his first full show. Congrats beautiful First Prince and Isabela. Love and Hugs, JB

Sea Of Class, You remind me so much of my beloved Orfevre. Such a beautiful face and that Coat wow. Now I don’t even think you need any of Bisquits beauty products.
Judy told me of the post you drew and I said Oh No. And, that reminds of Orfevre’s bad post too. But at least with # l5 you are on the outside. So Godspeed and I’m pulling for you real hard. Safety all Arc Horses Jockeys and everyone. So glad they supplimented You.

Stacey
With Coz doing so well in the retraining it makes you wonder if his younger brother might take a similar path. Isabella did a great job with Coz she is an extremely talented rider that can handle a strong horse.

COZ makes it look easy; takes lots of work, focus and bonding between horse and rider.
My gosh, this is just Frankel’s third crop I think and soooo many of his babies have been winning in all places and conditions. He’s going to break lots of records. Congrats Call The Wind and Dad.
