Happy Friday, Everyone!
It is amazing how things in one’s life can change so much in just several hours. Here I am late yesterday afternoon with Ann and Jerry posing for this photo…..and then a few hours later….I became a MOM!
Shortly after this picture was taken, the Moss’ left for dinner. All was quiet in my life and it seemed like we’d all have a relaxing evening. Then suddenly things started to change!
A few hours later, Mike Cline called Ann and Jerry to let them know I was feeling a bit restless and I could possibly foal later that evening.
Jerry immediately called MY JOHN and Dottie in California… and everyone started to PACE. Shortly after this, my water broke…and my lovely FOAL was bornat 10:10 last evening. As I’ve said so many times before, NATURE IS TRULY AMAZING!
HE IS ADORABLE, I AM SO EXCITED…and I AM SO BLESSED!
I am one who likes to LICK. It is a habit I developed somewhere along the way in my life. As you may remember, I used to lick MY MARIO’S face all of the time after I won a race. Thus, licking my dear foal seems like second nature to ME.
He is one handsome guy and I am now beginning to see that he and I will be embarking on an entire new journey as the future unfolds.
With Love,
Hugs to All~ (I’M A MOM!)

Wow, his stud fee has doubled. I am sure Zenyatta played a part in that, and my now 2nd favorite son of his, Stay Thirsty.

He is quite the handsome guy, and very proud of his new little son.

Hey Karen!
You KNOW where I was!!! At the track (visiting ZAZU – shhhh)
Photography Day was a lot of fun. I asked John Sadler if we could join him in the paddock for his first race of the day, and he said “sure”! So, Jane, James & I stood next to him. We shook Eswan Flores’ hand and wished him luck :D It was great to see the Mosses’ silks Woo Hoo

Dear Zenny,
Be careful with those wonderful licks; I think you tickled your foals ear and he
startled you. So very cute and loving. Hope you had a great day outside today.
Saw a photo on HRTV and he was laying down. Can’t wait to see him run.
XXXXXOOOOO

He is a shining example of you and Bernie, and I wish you and he the vesy over these next critical weeks. Take good care of your little champion. Whetherr he goes ro the track ot not, he epitomizes all that is right in this industry. Bless him and bless you.

Lucy is so jealous, BRB, she needs some love time. She was always jealous when The Queen was racing and she is jealous during her retirement. Hehehe.

Congratulations one and all! What a fine looking fellow — so much like his Mom.
Thank you to the Mosses for sharing their fantastic mare and her ongoing journey.

Dearest Zenyatta,
Congratulations to You and Bernie! What a handsome little guy you have! He looks so much like You! Beautiful! And those ears are definitely Yours! :)
Enjoy your sweet son, dear Queen. Each time I think of You and Him I get tears in my eyes.

How wonderful !!!
Kimberly from Santa Anita
Oh ZZZZZZ! I am so happy for the both of you…. Glad to hear that you are fine!!!
Get some rest tonight you will need it…..
Laura Peterson in DC
I’m so happy and excited for you, Zen; you’ll be a great Mom! You have such a contented look in those superb photos Ann took of you and your foal.
Your BFF Tasty must be wondering where you are and how you’re doing. I’ll be praying for her safe delivery too. Once she foals I hope you can share a paddock with her again and maybe Pirate’s Bounty too and their foals.
Please give Dottie and your devoted owners and friends at Lane’s End a high hoof for keeping us posted. These diary entries and photos would sure make a lovely book.
Love and xoxo to you and your beautiful foal!

Gracias Zenyatta por hacer todo bien. Eso es algo que solo los grandes pueden lograr. Y gracias también a todos quienes están a tu lado y disfrutarán este momento. Felicitaciones.

Zenny: When did your little one stand. About how long did it take for him to stand and nurse? He is so beautiful. Can’t wait to see more pictures.
