Happy Friday!
Zenyatta’s Candy Ride filly is almost three months old, and we couldn’t have asked for a better baby.
Currently weighing almost 400 lbs., she’s above average in height, well-balanced, athletic and leggy.
Much like her mom, she loves attention from humans. Her equine social circle includes offspring of Bernardini, Medaglia D’Oro, and another Candy Ride foal as well.
Check out the collection of photos and videos below!

She sure has Moms ears!

Bonjour Zenyatta,
Your new baby is so cute. Love watching the videos.
Want to see more of them.
Love to you and the new baby.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for the pics and videos. What an adorable baby! So glad she has so many of her mom’s characteristics and loves people. They grow up so fast. You did well, Zenny. Enjoy your baby each day. Love you both.

20Zenyatta you are beautiful, just like your Mom. When you start racing those long legs are going to cover a lot of ground. Team Z Thank You so much for the update.

What a darling filly. She is growing fast.
What channel is the Pacific Classic on?

Goodnight all and Happy Dreams.

Never mind about the Pacific Classic, in our area it is on Altitude sports, which we don’t get on Comcast cable due to a disagreement between billionaire Stan Kroenke and billionaires at Comcast and Dish.

Dear ZFriends,
Does anyone know if one can still access the blog archives of all previous entries?
(For instance, April 2, 2013)
Just wondering.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Regarding the archives:
I found that by clicking on “Friday Photos” at least some can be accessed, and then for the earlier ones, there is “Z’s Diary”. (under Categories at the top right side)
Other ideas are welcome.
Cheers❣️

Hi Marshall and Vampressqueen
I must be completely stupid but I can’t find Friday Photos or Categories on the right. Maybe it’s my computer set up. I’ll keep fiddling. Cheers
Marshall (NC Broad)
Hi Kathy,
The Categories are listed to the right of the cute photos of our little redhead 20Z, entitled “Friday Filly Update”, the current blog entry for August 14.
Hope this helps.
Hugs and Love

Hi Marshall,
Still can’t see a heading Categories on the right. Have the June pics of 20Z and four videos of her activities but that’s it. Maybe it doesn’t come down to Australia. At least I have the blog! Thanks, cheers and hug

Dear Kathy Rabl:
Kathy, I wasn’t sure it was you. So good you’re posting again. It’s been too long. How is your boy doing? Love and Hugs, JB
Kathy Rabl
Hi Marshall! Problem solved! Only shows up on the lap top, not the ipad which I use. No worries, my horse loving husband has given me access. Cheers and thanks Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
YAY!
Kathy, I’m glad you found the Categories at last. I use a laptop so I’ve never had it any other way. I am definitely not a “techie”!
Great to hear from you!
Hugs and Love

Dear Judy
Yes, it’s me. Couldn’t stay quiet with all the rotten things going on in the world and I really felt for you all with Sheena’s passing. I know we had our issues, but the love you folk as her family showed was just beautiful to see. My little girl Thurzel is eleven (Southern Hemisphere official time). But she has been mine (ours, since Phil has taken on the task) for six years. And is still very beautiful. I developed a serious lung infection from fungus in the barn resulting in several partial lung collapses and am now on oxygen 24/7 and very frail. It’s been months since I’ve been able to touch my girl, I go out in the car but can’t get out. Thank God for Phil who has fallen under her spell and the wonderful folk at her agistment property. Otherwise the ending is just awful. But enough of my catch up ramblings. Glad the family is well with the sweet little redhead and her gorgeous Mum. Take care, hugs and love Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Kathy R.,
Positive thoughts and prayers for better days ahead, my friend. ?
We have missed you. Hope one day you will be able to touch your dear Thurzel again.
All the best wishes to you and your Phil.
Big Hugs and Love ?

Belatedly, I’m just seeing this. So glad to hear from you, Kathy, but I’m very sorry about your health issues. Every time I hear something about Australia, I think of you and wonder what happened, and I guess I still don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Sending good thoughts and hopes for you and your family.

Thank you for the photos and update on Z20 filly. She is so cute, just adorable. Cute little fluffy white dot on her face.
We Zenyatta fans appreciate getting any updates and photos. we miss Zenyatta on the track and hope maybe this filly, who you say is tall, will take after her mom.
hugs and prayers for all to stay safe and healty.
judy berube
Dear Kathy R:
Sorry to hear you are having health issues. Sending healing prayers.
Sorry too for referring to Thurzel as your boy. My senior brain is not remembering very well. Glad to know she is doing well. Yes, you brought her home two years after my Charlie came from the track to the farm. It will be 8 years in September.
All of us here, I think, are still in shock over the sudden loss of our Sheena.
So glad you are posting and that we have this wonderful place to come to and share friendship and our love for Z, her babies and all horses.
Love and Hugs, JB

PS: Kathy, looking forward to seeing photos of Winx’s first baby due in October. Queen of Australia racing!

What really good conformation this filly has. Will zenyatta be bred in 2020?
judy berube
Dear Meredith:
There’s a post on the Forum that Z was bred back to Candy Ride for 2021. No official word yet if she is in foal. Love and Hugs, JB
Kathy Rabl
Dear Marshall
Categories are now at the bottom of the page on my ipad so all is well. Hugs. Cheers

Dear Judy
Ah the mighty Winx! Do miss seeing her go round, like other great ones we could name! Must admit now I have the real deal I don’t follow racing as closely as I did, plus we’ve had appalling trainer issues here as well and the filthy virus has resulted in “phantom” races too. In searching to see if Winx’ connections know the sex of the foal (can’t find anything) did find a piece from Ray Thomas mentioning Makybe Diva “the only horse to win three Melbourne Cups (2003-04-05), has now produced seven foals to race for five minor winners with only one stakes performer, Divanation who ran third in the Listed Warrnambool Cup last year”. Shows how hard it is to reproduce great achievements like some whingers toss at Zenyatta doesn’t it!Hugs and love. Cheers

Dear Kathy R:
Yes, so true. Bred to the best and hope for the best! Love and Hugs, JB

Happy Friday everyone! Hovis will be along eventually, but I don’t have my usual computer and need to figure out how to get the link in a different way. Stay tuned.

Dear Z Fans:
This from BloodHorse if you haven’t seen it. I think the hope was that by changing the Derby to September it would be safe for fans to attend. Best to take this precaution as Covid 19 has not abated.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for this great article by Steve H. I like the name of his new column, Askin Haskin!
Very interesting background on the NY Bred horses. As always, an excellent piece of writing!!
Hugs and Love

Dear Marshall:
I like the name of the column too

Hi all,
Sorry this is so late, but I am at a technological disadvantage this week. I am also suspicious that this will not show up where I had intended, but hopefully the intrepid Hovis followers will find it. Our boy has had a rough week (especially at the hands of Aunty Em and mini Mum). He’s not sure he can carry on, but I bet he’ll be back??

Marshall (NC Broad)
Thanks again Sandy for providing us with Hovis’ Diary!
Oh my goodness, poor Hovis — how de-moralizing! Our brave macho-man is so very ill-treated sometimes, but really, a unicorn horn and braided feathers! Then to have this humiliation photographed for the masses, Arrrrgh!! TOO much for a sensitive soul. Why it’s enough to make a brave superhorse run away to hide whenever a cute little girl appears on the scene. ?
Hugs and Love ?
judy berube
Dear Sandy:
Thank you for Hovis’ update and all the chuckles. Really needed a lift of spirit and Hovis did the trick.
Poor boy; a unicorn horn and braided feathers. So much to bear!
Carry on beautiful boy.
Love and Hugs, JB

There is a photo posted of 20Z nursing from Z and three other foals standing by basking in the presence of the Queen. It is just like before when other foals did this. Too cute. There is another video of Queen Z and baby that was taken by Lane’s End about the same time the ones here were taken. Lane’s End FB, Mike Smith FB, Ziconic FB or El Vino FB. FYI. Lindal

Dear Sandy and Marshall,
Thank you for your kind thoughts on my lung condition. Thurzel and getting a little better to touch her keeps me going. The power of the horse I say. And I believe she knows me, even from the car. Hugs and love
judy berube
Dear Kathy R:
I’m sure Thurzel knows you. They don’t forget who loves them. Like Marshall, I hope your lung condition improves so you can once again pet her and give her treats. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Kathy R.,
Just as Judy wrote, I, too, am certain that Thurzel knows you and feels your love for her. Happy that you can visit her from the car. You hang in there and hold on to that incentive. Thurzel awaits your loving touch.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Big Hugs and Lots of Love
