Happy Tuesday!
Today is a very special one, as Zenyatta and 13Z are celebrating their shared birthday. The Queen turns ten today, and her little one is now a whole year old. It feels like yesterday that we were awaiting his arrival at Lane’s End.
The staff at Lane’s End kicked off the party this morning with cakes, cupcakes and stacks of cards from all of you. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
-Team Z
Reminder: Today is the last day to enter your guess for 14Z’s birthday! Enter here.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Who is the Queen of Racing? You know the horse I am referring to. She has passion and talent, and a heart made of gold, charisma and star quality of which many stories are told. After racing she become a MOM and added another star to her name, she has had 2 colts with the last being born on her birthday. She has shared her experiences with the Heir and the Spare, and it is now their turn to show what they have learned from the big Mama Bear. She is the greatest, she is the best, and her talents and personality will be forever remembered and revered because……she is our Queen, she has passed every test!
HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY ZENYATTA, AND HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY Z13!
Wishing for a safe and healthy delivery for Z and Z14 soon!

Love, love, love the pictures! The happiest of birthdays to our Queen and her second prince!
The cakes look awesome and it seems as if Zenny and 13Z enjoyed all the cards sent to them.
Life is good…especially when we can visit here and share the joy!

Really great pictures of two great horses; Zenyatta and 13Z. Zenyatta is so special, and 13Z is a real looker for all to see. Am getting excited about our little contest and seeing Zenny’s newest baby. It should be a looker too. The sires seem to be getting better and better looking. Everybody have a great day and ride in the sunshine!
(((( Hugs ))))))

Happy Happy Birthday Zenny! And the same to your beautiful little”red headed kid,” 13Z! So hard to believe you’re TEN years old now! I’ll always remember our visits with you at Barn 55 at Hollywood Park, and of course being able to see most of your races “live” and close-up! We were all so lucky! I hope your Birthday has been wonderful, and I sure hope you have a filly!!

Happy Birthday, Zenny and Z13! You both look so happy (and inquisitive). I hope you got my birthday card. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since Z13 was born. I can’t wait until his little sister (or brother) comes into the world. Happy Birthday!!!
@Jan and Bob Stein – I love the cakes! They’re almost as cute as the the Leroy cake that you got me for my birthday!

What wonderful birthday pictures!!! I am convinced by the way they look at their cards that the two of them can read. We love you both and wish you only the very best of each day, Anxiously awaiting 14Z and to see Cozmic One running his heart out. Jess’s Dream is a darling but our baby is best!
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Yikes! I wasn’t expecting another blog entry today. Just love the pictures, and our girl and her boy are so deserving. I love seeing Zenny reading her cards. I have to remember to send one next year! All this darn basketball gets in the way of everything. Just precious. Love you both always, as well as Coz. Thank you, LE! Hugs to all.

Will Zenyatta take a break from foaling after the birth of #3 ??
She’s the most amazing horse. Her spirit shines through….how she seems to love being a mother. However, seeing her in her prior life, sleek, muscular, lean…it does make one hope she has a chance to have a rest before yet another foal.
Z is my heroine. Cannot get enough news of her.

Happy birthday Z And Z13!!!
Wish you all the best!!
