2017 would not have been complete without a holiday trip to Kentucky. We stocked up on mints and flew to Lane’s End for quality time with Zenyatta and her Medaglia d’Oro filly. Today we’re sharing our photos of Zenyatta. In parts 2 and 3 we’ll cover the filly and her paddock mates plus some news about the one and only Cozmic One!

Absolutely Stunning as the Queen always is!!! Looks like a late Spring Foal, not very big right now. Thanks for always sharing!!!!

That’s what I was going to ask. I have seen stuff on the internet that she was covered again for a 2018 foal, But I forget the stallions name. Was wondering if it was true along with what is going around about Cosmic One because not everything on the internet is correct.

Our Queen is expecting a foal by Into Mischief sometime in May I believe. Cozmic One has been retired and is now pursuing a second career – story from Blood Horse magazine –

What a lovely surprise today!
Thanks so much for these wonderful photos of Zenyatta — love the ones with Ann, the “pretty peppermint elf”. Z looks her usual beautiful self. We are so grateful for this blog and the special opportunity to be part of the Z Circle. ?
Thanks to Kyle for the photography, too!
Take care, sweet Zenny — you are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.
Hugs and Love

Zenny is just beautiful. You can just see the joy in her eye’s when her Ann comes to see her. Can’t wait to see some pictures of 17Z. Maybe the news will be her name. The last time I looked Coz hasn’t worked since Nov. 22, 2017, and Ziconic,s last work was on Dec. 24, 2017. Thanks Team Z for the pictures and update, can hardly wait for Part 2 and 3.

I should imagine Zenyatta is due in May/june.If you go on desousastables facebook you will see lovely photos of Coz in his new home.

Her baby won’t be late as May or June because they bred her early as I remember. I think they were not going to breed her this year Is what I think I heard I could be wrong but Jerry said they did a trail to the Sire I forget his name and it took so we are baby waiting. I hope this is right I know I’m not making it up but we will see.
Z13Rulz
No they did not bred her early.
Z17 wasn’t foaled until May 9th 2017. She came a couple of weeks early, so they decided to roll the dice and send Zenyatta for one cover to Into Mischief. If she hadn’t caught on the one cover they wouldn’t have tried again because it would have been too late.
But she did catch and she is in foal to Into Mischief. The foal will be born mid to late May, possibly early June.

Zenyatta always looks so fabulous and well adjusted. SOOO glad to hear Coz is venturing down a new path. Lots of patience and “listening to him” will determine if this is to be his new direction. Prayers for Ziconic to get out of Santa Anita before his jockey steers him into irreplaceable trouble….it is becoming far to painful to watch the lack of repoire between Ziconic and Victor. Ziconic should be dancing into 2018 not being manhandled. Sorry but I hate watching the animosity between rider and horse.

This post made my day and she’s just as breathtakingly beautiful as always. I’m really excited about her little filly and was so pleased to hear the news about Cosmic One and I’ve been keeping up with Ziconic – his last race was impressive. He sure is a handsome boy and holds a special place in my heart. I adore the photo of Zenyatta and Ann – love the holiday attire! These posts are wonderful and I personally thank you for keeping up this website and sharing Zenyatta and “the kids” with her fan base. Much success, prosperity and happiness to everyone in 2018! It should be an exciting year! Much love, Aunt Sandy
Regina

I look forward to hearing more about Cozmic One. Very exciting new path he is on.
Can’t wait for Part 2!!

Love the pictures. I always think of my Dad when I check in on Zenyatta. He didn’t make it to see any of her babies but I’m sure he has a good view from Heaven. I love the name ZenFilly D Licious for the baby girl.
Ann NC
Happy Happy!
Joy Joy!
Thanks bunches. Love and Hugs.
