@Jim, We’re getting much more news about Zenyatta than is usual with American broodmares. There probably won’t be any sort of public visitation before this summer. This is the busy time at Lane’s End. Stallions are being shown right now. Mating season starts in mid-February and runs through mid-June. They don’t want to risk their in-foal broodmares getting a disease that might cause an abortion. See Steve Haskin’s recent blog on his visit to Zenyatta. It is full of information about the care she is receiving and all the steps being taken to ensure her well-being. I think you will find it reassuring. Zenyatta is definitely not alone. She has three paddock buddies with whom she has bonded. She has the staff at her barn, and frequent visits from David Ingordo or his assistant Sarah Campion. Her California family just visited her. She even gets phone calls from home. Every horse should be so dearly loved. If the Mosses cared only about money, they would have retired her to the breeding shed last year or the year before. I bet they won’t even sell her offspring. Regarding Curlin’s stud fee, $40K is actually pretty high for an unproven stallion. He has great racing credentials, but these don’t always translate to success at stud. There are a number of proven sires, such as Candy Ride, available at that fee or less. Regarding Lane’s End and the Eclipse Awards, William Farish III, who owns Lane’s End, is twice a past winner as outstanding breeder.
@Suzanne G, Azeri and Ginger Punch were sold to the Yoshida family and went to Northern Farm in Japan. Northern Farm is building a high-class broodmare band and recently acquired Franny Freud, Wickedly Perfect, and Dubai Majesty, among others.

Dear Zenyatta,
You so deserve this award for your brilliance and perseverence. And, your human family deserves their special award as well for sharing you and caring about the welfare of the thoroughbred.
