Wow! Today is so intense with anticipation of Coz’s first race and from these photos it appears that he is ready and has been doing his homework very well under the patient hands of John Shirreffs. It always lifts my heart seeing new information and photographs of Zenyatta and her family and to understand the generosity of the Mosses to continue to share their Queen with us. Thank you so very much. I feel so blessed.
Lori Stein
I’m so excited. Hoping Coz has a safe and positive first time to the post. May some of his mother’s magic touch him!
Marty R / Colorado

So much anticipation for this day. The first half of this day will be the longest half day ever (except for the day he was foaled).

Trying to keep some perspective in all this but it is really hard! Hope all of Team Coz enjoy the experience as I plan to.

Thanks Dottie for the lovely training photo’s. In the 3rd picture from the bottom, Prince Coz seems to be saying, I gat this people, stop worrying, take a chill pill or something, relax and enjoy the race. Boy is he ever the most handsome of them all?.
Good luck Coz, God’s speed for a safe and successful ride, He has given the Angels charge over you that your hoofs will not even hit a pebble and bring you home safe and sound. For Victor, good luck with the Prince today. We ask God for wisdom for you to know how best to ride this dear boy. We also pray for safety for everyone in the race.
To the Queen, we are so Proud of your first son who though a mama’s boy is going to make you very proud today. I know you have instructed him on what he needs to do and am sure he listened and will be just fine.
To the Moss’s , thank you so much for sharing this whole experience with us all. It is well and Prince Coz seems eager and ready to go. Praise the Lord.
To John, thank you for all the time you have patiently schooled our first Prince. Am sure he listened to everything you said and will make you very proud. It is always well at ZNation.
To all the aunties and uncles, it is well. Peace be with you all. Amen.

Cozmic One and all of Team Z,
Today, all of Coz’s fans will be riding with him. We will be hoping that he has a safe journey, and a good experience.
Know that he is loved for himself, and not as an incarnation of his much-loved Mother. However this first race turns out for him, we wish Coz, and all of Team Z, the best of luck!
May the Racing Gods be with Team Z today!

Way to go Coz, nice pics Dottie! John must be on top of the world right now!!!!
Bobbie --- Elkhorn WI
Coz says “Relax–I’ve been practicing for this with my Mom and my pasture mates. Looking forward to running with Moe Candy again”.
Celeste/Massachusetts
JeanneO,
Your words explain my exact sentiments for Coz!! Very well said!
TeamZ,
Thank you so much for always keeping us informed about Zenyatta and her babies. You are so kind and generous.
Ann Maree / Tennessee
Best wishes for a safe trip. All I’m hoping for is what John mentioned as his goal today, and that is to ensure that Coz has a good experience, learns something, and progresses. He does not have to win for that to happen. He looks just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you one and all Team Z. Big hugs and GO COZ!
Cathleen
Love all the photos, thank you! Bummed I won’t be able to watch it live today. Excited to see the replay. Good luck Coz and team!!
Gloria

He looks strong and his coat is beautiful. Also, he looks really good in his blue “leg warmers!”
God bless and safe trip to him and all of the young ones running with him.

I am so thrilled this day is finally here…I wish Coz, John/Dottie, Ann/Jerry and all those that have helped to train him to get him here a great day…MY 2 WISHES are that he has a safe and fruitful race AND that the CROWD accepts him QUIETLY and does not spook him as he parades out. Much love !!!!!!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Well said Kim! Ditto from me.
