Dear, dear, dear friends,
I am so proud and elated to share the news with you that I am now a MOM. I just gave birth to a lovely dark bay COLT, March 8th, at approximately 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time.
My adorable foal weighed in at 130 pounds, has a white star on his forehead….and some white on his feet. As Ann commented when she saw him, “he has polka dots on his feet, Zennie, just like YOU.”
All went very well with the foaling. I must say….I did it like a CHAMP!
My foal is absolutely precious…and I am so pleased to share this entire experience with all of you…my precious and loving friends.
We are all still just getting acclimated to this entire new experience. I’m doing great. MY BABY is doing great….and Bernie is also excited! I’ll update you again with some more photos in the morning.
All blessings to each of YOU….and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART….for being there for ME and SHARING THIS WONDERFUL PART OF MY LIFE WITH ME!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Can you believe it…..I’m now a MOM!)

Congrats to you, Zennie, Mosses and all that were involved. He is a hansome handsome boy- if I can say so, I think I see a lot of Z in this boy…maybe he inherited her love to ‘dance’????? hugs and kisses to you, Momma Z!
Rae Ann
Congrats. You go girl, you have made all of us proud, even more so having your baby on
International Woman’s Day 3-8. I’m sure the Moss’ are just as excited as all of us. The very best to you & Bernie & and the entire racing community for bringing us another handsome colt. Maybe we will see another great race with your son and Rachel’s in the future, wouldn’t that be just great.
Best to you & your new son,
love & kisses
Rae Ann

Tears of joy! Congratulations! He is adorable!

HIP HIP HOORAY! Jumping up and down with joy!! Doing my own version of Zenny’s Dance with tears in my eyes!!
I can’t even explain how happy I am today, the first time in a month, since losing my sweet little Bichon Boy to cancer. It has been a rough month for me but now I truly have a reason to smile.
Thank you to everyone on the team for letting everyone be a part of this joyous occasion.
Now we can look forward to seeing Zenny, her son, TT and her baby romping in their beautiful paddock at Lane’s End. The future holds promise.
Such a beautiful colt!! You did great, Mommy Z! I can’t wait to hear what you think of motherhood!! Sending lots of love to you, your son, you Team, and of course, to TT. Hope to hear soon that she also has a healthy baby at her side.
Beautiful picture, Mrs. Moss! Please keep the pictures coming!

Kisses and Hugs! You are becoming a great mom as everything else you do in life.
Derby 2015? Hmmm…
I am so glad he has some of your white tornado and the spots on his feet just like you. I hope every day he enjoys life as much as MOM does too.
You know he already has an adoring fan base.
Thank you to Ann, Jerry, and Sarah, for sharing this wonderful heart-filling moment with all your friends.
To all, GET SOME SLEEP!
Love,
Julie

Zenny: Congratulations. You had your baby right after I went to bed. I am just finding all this out now. Oh, my Moma has a baby boy. He has big ears like you too.
He is beautiful.

What a beauty he is! The two of you make the perfect picture of a mother and her foal. We are so lucky to be able to share this wonderful time with Z, the Mosses, and all the members of Team Zenyatta and Barn 55. Thank you for this. Blessings to the new foal and his beautiful mom. May the wind that touches your nostrils be the swiftness of your feet when you are ready to race (in a few years!!!).

All I can say is “TOO CUTE!”
Molly
Dottie, please post the video, if only on this site under VIDEOS, as I would love to show the newborn to my granddaughters. What an adorable blessing. Thank goodness the Full Moon did its job. I don’t think I could have waited much longer. After Zen’s colt was born, I switched to the Winstar Foaling Stall and guess what, another foal entered the world in the wee hours. Busy night. Hope we get to see more pictures of “polka dots” today. Thanks to Team Zenyatta for sharing Zenyatta and her many adventures with us.
Tammy Moreno

WOW! What a way to start the day! (and only 500 and some posts behind). Oh Zenny, he is just adorable. I am SO happy for YOU and Team Z and all the folks at Lane’s End and ALL OF US! I’m so thankful that all went well (we know you’re a champ at EVERYTHING, but you know we all watched those foaling videos and . . well . . . maybe learned more than we wanted to know).
Apparently I missed the video so am hoping there will be more today. SO glad to read how happy your Auntie Judy was! And isn’t Trina amazing? Hope this actually gets posted – lots of traffic here today.
LOVE and KISSES ON YOUR NOSE FROM me (your Ohio friend, Sandy) and BARBARA WOOD (she’ll fill you in later)
Janey Boyd
So happy for the whole Team Z,Mommy Z of coarse and look at that baby!!! He look so soft and cuddly just like his plushie!!! Such great pics also.Thanks to all for allowing us to share in this fabulous journey.Can’t wait for more pics. Hoping Tasty has a safe delivery soon. Love to all Janey
PeanutGKitty
Congrats, Zenny and Team Z! This has made my day and week! He is SO adorable. I hope you all get video of him getting up for the first time like the Super Saver filly nicknamed ” Back Flip” that you posted a link to recently. I would love to see it!
He looks a lot like you, Zenny, with those big old radar ears and nose shaped like your’s.
Love you so much!
Thanks Ann, Jerry, Dottie and everyone at Lane’s End and Team Z for sharing this precious news with us so fast and with photos too!
Kathy from Los Angeles
and unto us this night, a triple crown winner is born.

Just wondering — has anyone booked their weekend in Louisville for the first Saturday in May 2015?!
Guido
CONGRATULATIONS Z!!!!! He’s as cute as you! I was so excited when I heard the news on the radio this morning. A suggestion to name him after his great mom –
“Z” Max! So glad you’re both doing well. And thanks for the beautiful photos Ann!
Abigail from Montreal
CONGRATULATIONS ZENYATTA, the MOSSES, JOHN & DOTTIE & SOPHIE, TEAM Z in CALIFORNIA + KENTUCKY!
He’s just beautiful, Zenny! I’m so relieved that it all went well and that both of you are doing fine. I’ll be back later. It took forever to get onto the site today, so I want to leave room for others to visit.
DOTTIE: PLEASE RE-POST THE VIDEO. I DIDN’T SEE IT!!!!!
Love & hugs, my sweet Zenny and your new baby boy…..
Cristine
Dottie, do you have a video of the colt’s first steps? I simple adore this foal. When will you and John be visiting the little one? Will Mike get to see the newborn? Oh, so many questions and want to see oodles of pictures. Thanks to Ann for sharing that last picture right before Zenyatta foaled. Best wished to the entire Zenyatta Team.
Phyllis
Congratulations to all! He is absolutely adorable. I’m wearing one of my Zenyatta t-shirts today in honor!
