Thank you Thank you Thank you to everyone concerned with Zenyatta including all the other Zsters out there. I hope all of you had a Very Very Merry Christmas. Cross your fingers and your toes. Hopefully we will soon be hearing Z17’s new, proper name and who or maybe even if she is going to be bred again. Also now that we know Coz is happy,safe place, let’s also hope we will be hearing good news about our boy Ziconic.
Sleep well everyone, may you have pleasant dreams about all things Zenyatta. Her pictures were gorgeous as usual and was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Thank you so very much for sharing Zenyatta’s happy Christmas photos with all of us! She looks as beautiful as always, strong and healthy. It is my hope that she will be bred this year early for an earlier foal and we will all be able to follow yet another family member just like we adore hearing about Coz, Ziconic and 17Z now in training in Florida. I am so grateful to Ann and her remarkable web team to keep this site going for all of us fans who love her. It is a very special part of my day to check in for the latest news every morning. Thank you!! Blessings and Happiness in the New Year to all Zenyatta nation!

Paul Nicholls is King at Kempton again as Clan Des Obeaux wins the King George under Harry Cobden.A drama filled race as Bristol De Mai brought down Waiting Patiently but a great run in 2nd for Thistlecrack.All horses were up on their feet after their falls Coneygree went at the last and the mare Verdana Blue beat Champion Hurdler Buveur D’ Air in the Christmas Hurdle.He made a hash of one hurdle and did’nt get back into a rhythm.Might Bite was routinely tested after the King George.
