Good Morning,
I hope each of you had a wonderful, restful, and peaceful holiday! This day is also a special time to remember all that MEMORIAL DAY truly represents as well.
Everything at the farm is going very, very well. I want to share with you the fabulous day I have had so far. This morning, my vets came to check me and… YES, I am eating for TWO! As of this morning, I have had what is technically called my ’60 day check-up’. I am happily IN FOAL! All is A-OK! My pregnancy is progressing nicely and the baby has a very strong heartbeat! YIPPEE!
I must say I am so excited and so are all of my Team and Family members! This is such terrific news! Bernie and I are going to be parents!
As is the Moss’ policy, we are not going be fetal-sexing to determine if the foal is a colt or filly. My owners never do this with any of their mares. Part of the fun, in their opinion, is the anticipation. We will wait and BE SURPRISED!
Now, I’m off to graze and enjoy the rest of the day! I’ll fill you in on more details as we go along! Thank you so much for all of your understanding and patience the last few months on this topic! I so appreciate your kindness and support!
I’m sending each of you a HIGH HOOF! IT IS TRULY A DAY OF GREAT HAPPINESS!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Congratulations Zen and Bernie! I can’t wait to see what little “Zendini” will look like!
Pat Cannon
Congrats to everyone involved in this mating. Cant wait until next spring. Will it be a colt or filly? Who cares as the foal is healthy.
Lynn Baer
Congratulations, beautiful girl! Do the vets have any idea of an approximate due date for your little bundle of joy? Love you, Lynn

@Judy Berube–Let it Ride is the movie that I put into the DVD player when I am feeling low. None of the actors who were in it were really big stars at the time with the possible exception of Richard Dreyfuss, who was in Jaws. I have three favorite parts, but I can almost quote the dialogue verbatim without seeing the film. One was when the bartender starting kidding Dreyfuss about ratholing a $5.00 bill. The expression on his face is priceless. The other is when Jennifer Tilly comes up behind him and says “Guess Who?” Dreyfuss replies, “A Football Salesman.” And, at the end when Terri Garr finally shows up at the track and Dreyfuss tells her that he bet it all, and she says “It’s only money.” My daughter used to like the film because of Coltrane, who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. Of course, she also asked me about the job that Coltrane had. When I told her that there used to be separate windows for buying and cashing and the various amount involved, she laughed. Thanks for the link to the you tube article on Narragansett. Those old pictures are priceless as was the comment made by one of the posters. It said that there once had been a daily double in which a 20 year old horse won the first race and a 22 year old horse won the second. Great stuff.

It was worth being patient, Zenny! So much to look forward to, sweet Z!! Thanks, Team Z, for taking this slow, just like you do everything else. All in good time. That’s why Z was so successful. Kudos!!

Way to Go Queen Z! I figured the second cover would work. It’s a timing thing. I sure miss you. The races are just not as fun to watch with out you in them, but now I get to look forward to Zendaberti, Little Z or whatever you want to call the little one, stepping onto the track. I hope John and Dottie get him/her. Take care Z and eat lots of alfalfa!! Love you big girl. Secsea Dance, Salawgi, Simon and Picasso.

It is now no wonder why you have been looking better than ever in the last few pics that I have seen of you, you’re in foal and it surely agrees with you. Now you will sparkle and shine brighter than ever with your little one growing inside of you. You are now double happiness and bring me double smiles! Love you lots Zenyatta-you and your sweet baby are in my prayers!

Zenyatta, I am so happy! I’ve followed your career from the beginning but have never posted a message until now. I am so excited about your pregnancy and I don’t blame your team for waiting until the 60 day mark to let us know the GREAT NEWS!

May God bless and keep you both!

@Abigail, thanks for the link to the DRF video, my girlfriend and I are on it in the beginning with the sign ” Zenyatta, God’s Gift to Stallions.” We were there to welcome Z to Keeneland, and got the thrill of seeing this beautiful mare in person. Thanks again

Oh Zenyatta – congratulations. I know you have been waiting for this moment – just think, a little foal to call your own. I think it’s great the Moss’ aren’t going to fetal sex your baby. The anticipation of just waiting to find out brings on so much overwhelming excitement as the time comes closer and closer. The picture you posted today is gorgeous – be sure and let Sarah know how much we appreicate her photos and that she is quite the artist at it. What a setting. Should be a post card. And it’s how I’ve always imagined you in the pasture to be once the snow cleared out and summer came. I’m so glad your life is like heaven. I know you make life heaven for those around you and for your fans. Again congratulations beautiful and sweet girl! xxxooo Much love.
Jo
