We know you’ve all been waiting for more photos!
Team Z and Lane’s End are proud to share these images from the birth of Zenyatta’s second colt. Based on the response we’ve received, it seems that the world is as excited as we are.
We had a spectacular day on the farm, and we are saying our goodbyes for now. Mom and her little one are now relaxing, bonding, and spending some quiet time alone.
There are still more photos from this trip to come. We’ll post again soon with news about 13Z and his older brother!
Enjoy!

Hi!
Happy Birthday, Zenyatta!
Wow!
To have your baby on your own birthday. This is something.
Lots of love to you, Zenyatta and the new baby.
Lani Loyd
You have a gorgeous boy, Z. I still think we should call him “The Queen’s Jester”, maybe Jester, Jess or Jessie for short.
Jan S. / Houston
Or Speedster!! Lol.

Wonderful photos of magnificient horses. The new boy looks like he will be grey in the end. I’ve loved horses always and raced during the 70’s at Delaware Park and it’s great to have such a mare to follow.
Noelle Labowicz
She is truly a gift from God! Her boys have big shoes to fill…….I wish them all the best and cannot wait to see them win the triple crown for their mama!

Sheena. I saw the photos of the fallen Battlefront and others in the English papers. I cannot post them because it is just too upsetting. It is said that he had a heart attack. RIP Battlefront. Hoping that all will come home safely in the Grand National.

This is sad. At least he seems to have gone fast and wasn’t hurt. I saw pictures of him prior to collapsing and he is a gorgeous horse. RIP Battlefront!

Thanks Keta. You know what an Alex nut I am. Hope he or she can run like grand dad. Can’t believe how fast time goes by. Doesn’t seem that long since Afleet Alex was on the track, now he is a grandfather.

Marked like his momma with the white stocking on the on-side back leg and the blaze. Beautiful colt. Thanks for sharing.

“Tap Danzen”—my favorite among names that have been suggested for 13Z (not original to me—suggested by CiderOctober on the Forum). Here’s the Jockey Club link to see if names have already been taken. You can see Tap Danzen is not in use and apparently not even reserved yet! Zap It was registered in 2005.

All Too Hard wins Flemington jump-out
Posted by: AAP+ Filled in: Australian Horse Racing | 5/4/2013 at 1:36pm
Star colt All Too Hard has ramped up preparations for a late Sydney autumn carnival appearance, winning a jump-out at Flemington on Friday.
Co-trainer Wayne Hawkes said All Too Hard did all he was asked to do in winning the 800m jump-out as he prepares for the Group One All Aged Stakes on April 27.
“He had a nice blow as you would expect,” Hawkes told Sydney’s Sky Sports Radio.

Hi Zenny …I know you are very busy with your new not-so-little boy….but when at Oaklawn today I saw one of your daddy’s boys win ….Bashhaar?…in the slop …he ran away from the rest of them…..he was most impressive ….
….
May everything good keep you and your sons safe and warm tonight and always
Sleep well
Judy
It always gets me when the mare sucks her belly up when the foal is struggling to find and latch on to the teat – and that’s after all the muscle workout of foaling. (last photo)
And thank you so much for the photos.
Debbie
Dear Keta
Carn’t wait to see All to hard race again
has been sick with a cold luv that horse.
Keta
Debbie
Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.
Missed reading your comments.
The real test will be the Group One on April 27
Hugs, Keta
Kathy R.
Dear Keta: It’s actually All Too Hard who is recovering from the cold (maybe Debbie has had one also?) but coming down with a cold was the reason behind Hawkes scratching the horse recently. Cheers KathyR.
Debbie
Sorry Keta
I meant All To Hard has had a cold
and that’s why he wasn’t raced carnt
wait to see him race again loverly boy.

Good night Queen Z,.sweet dreams .
maryp ny
Good morning Zenny and 13z,
Hope the sun shines on you both out in your paddock today. Waiting to see some pictures of the new prince in action and to see momma’s dapples in the sunshine! It makes me so happy to come here and look at you two and to see what all the Zsters are saying.
Good day and God’s blessings to all.
Maryp

Congratulations again Zenyatta, can tell you love him very much.
What a handsome boy he is !!!
Luv,
Donna
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures, My favorite is the last one with the foal standing & nursing. You can see the beautiful dapples on Zenny as she nuzzles her new baby! Feeling all warm & fuzzy now to start my chilly day.
PEACE & LOVE

Good morning Queen Z of Z nation, hope the night was restful and the little-big Tapit Prince did not keep you up all night feeding his big frame. He is a darling dumpling though. You know what just came to me?, the reason for his color, its all those extra carrots you were eating!!!, there you have it. His coat sure is pretty so for good looking coats, eat extra carrots.
Have you a wonderfully awesome day with the little one, give Prince ZB my love if he shows up, how I love him so, he is so sure of himself and carries himself like the Royalty he is and has that brooding handsomeness like his papa.
Good morning to all my Z nation family, hope today is especially Blessed and may the good Lord grant all your heart desires. I still marvel that our Queen Z has the same BD as her little Prince, its a good omen I must say and grateful to God. He will be as big as his mama if not bigger. Am sure he comes with the X gene conferring him with a Big heart.!, and a great, great, great Champion will he be!. I’ll be cheering from where ever I might find myself.
Its the weekend, enjoy all the races and a safe trip to all participating. Healing Prayers for all who need Healing, It is well. LOL to all.

Zenny – guess WHAT? News about this adorable little colt actually appeared in the Cleveland paper! Really – you have NO idea what a big deal this is. Even though we have two tracks here, horse racing rarely gets any mention at all. Woo Hoo!
