So happy to hear all is well, the Colt is beautiful and I love the name. Hope to see him grow up to be the best he can be. Congratulations to Zenyatta and team Z.

Ziconic is perfect! I love the name. It fits him. He’s so beautiful! I wasn’t expecting the naming announcement for 13Z now but it was a wonderful surprise. Hopefully an even bigger announcement will be coming soon.
Hugs to all,

What a wonderful privilege to name Zenyatta’s handsome baby boy. He has such kind eyes just like his mother.
Speaking of his mother, waiting waiting waiting is starting to turn to worry worry worry. Hope our beloved Zenny is OK. Maybe she will get a “break” for a year after this one. She looked so tired in her birthday picture. Hard work having babies huh Denny. Love u love u love u so much.

Ziconic! That’s a great name! Truly inspired! Jerry you done outstanding! Awesome doesn’t convey the the awesomeness of this name!

Dear Max.Have heard Shorty is going to ride out this weekend in preparation for Punchestown!Says he’ll be even fitter than Cheltenham with all the physio he’s having.Very risky in my opinion,jockeys are replacable!!!
A daughter of Sea the Stars won on her debut at Dundalk today in the same colours as her famous father,think she is called Stars are bright.There’s a godolphin colt True Story come into the Derby betting after winning today at Newmarket.The snow and rain is back with Nissy and the dogs have their winter coats back on!Hope weather has improved with you.I love Ziconic super name.Free the Moose.Sheena.
Max
Sheena. Shorty is astonishing. He may let himself in for health problems by returning that soon. Will the horses be glad to see him? The Fly is racing at Punchestown. So is Annie and Quevega. Wonder how Abby is doing?
Interesting news about the new flat racers. I’m also watching Toormore and Kingman.
My sympathies to Nissy’s dogs under surveillance. I’m in my winter coat too. Very cold. No snow however. The moon was bright this am. Missed the Pink Moon yesterday because of pesky clouds.
Zico aka Red appears to like his name. He’s got lots of charisma like his momma.
14Z, where are you?
Free the Moose! Neigh!

I like it! Perfect use of the “Z”
Bonnie
That is a great name I like the one word names they always work well—Some of the names are getting too long.
Nicki Boyd-Clouston
Jerry, you are brilliant! Ziconic is a magnificent name for this royally bred colt. Zenyatta’d be so proud. Thank you, Team Z, for this wonderful website & all you do to let us remain in Zenyatta’s life. We are grateful.
Ingrid Arnone
I just love the name, great great, goes perfect with him.
Beautiful name for a beautiful horse.
Love you Ziconic.
Big Hugs Ingrid.
Rosemarie G Cola
I second the last post! It’s great to be still hearing about our beautiful Z.
I too like the name of the Tapit colt. If the new foal is a filly, I suggest ROXZANNE. Just hope all goes well and will be checking the internet every couple of hours. Good Luck girl!
Carole
He has a beautiful head he is going to be a gorgeous animal.
Especially Horses / So Cal
Ziconic. Unbelievably perfect! As someone else said IT SOUNDS FAST.
Jerry, you gave that boy a Good Name!
Colleen Robbins
I love that name. Ziconic….sounds like a famous race horse name to me. Someone who will win the Triple Crown, Breeders cup and be a fabulous Stud. Great job!

Dear Max. I ‘ve hardly worn a winter coat this season over here mostly raincoats or jackets.We have been promised some more rain during the latter half of Easter.Maybe Z is waiting for the holidays or Judy’s birthday!!The craven meeting is on at Newmarket this week should throw up more names.Shorty is asking for trouble!!Free the Moose. Sheena.
Max
Sheena. I recall those English winters and springs. It’s a whole different thing over here. Read that this is the worst winter since something like 1939. You have to hunker down for months unless you are into winter sports.
Isn’t Kauto parading somewhere on Good Friday? Thought that he mentioned that. Moosie is strangely quiet. Must be planning his next move, or he might be talking to Battle Group. Maybe Toormore?
It would be nice if 14 arrived on Judy Day. As I recall, Coz appeared at the start of or during Passover, which to us is Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday in the UK. 14 controls the timing and we will just have to wait.
Free that Moose! Neigh!

Dear Sheena:
Suits him. Glad Glesni is getting a break. Hope things stay quiet for her. Love and Hugs, JB, LM, PC, HT, Cap, Herc and all the Sweeties
Amber
If the 2014 foal is a filly I vote Xena or Zena because of the female warrior in hercules… Because its what she will be in the field if she’s anything like her mother and the sires name is about war… Just a suggestion but well thought out one haha bet it’s taken
Mary in Boone, NC
Very clever name, Mr. Moss: it honors both the Queen and her 2nd born. I will quit calling him PrinZ and call him Ziconic. He certainly is handsome, and I hope he will love to race. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Cozmic One and Ziconic won back to back______?!?!?
I am pacing in Boone!
Love to All,
Mary in Boone

Not to change the subject (I love Ziconic) …. I see Eblouissante is racing Sunday in the Santa Lucia Stakes with Mike Smith up! Good luck big girl!
Dena Barcellona
Love the name and the picture. He will do his mother proud.

O.K. here’s the Reality. For the past 2 pregnancies i just followed all the birthing progress on line and i never wrote in. Just stayed glued to my computer because I knew Zenny and visited and cuddled with her in the barn where my horses were at Hollywood park. Well, things have come to a pass with me. i am so tuned up to this new birth that i just passed a mirror in my house and my glasses, as always, are perched on the top of my head and my hair, straight up to God is pouffed out in just such a special way and i look just like, I swear, just like a Pomeranian!!! Talk about anticipation and Pace, Pace, Pace . . .???

Love the name and so respect these owners. Wish every owner and trainer were like the Moss’ and the Sheriffs.. Team Z nothing better!!!!!!!

What a fabulous name for this exceptional colt. No doubt he will live up to the name and pedigree. We are thrilled this second prince bears such a distinctive name…he, like his older brother are a part of equine royalty!
