Dear fans,
It’s an exciting time of the year. The Derby is approaching, and Zenyatta is preparing to give birth to her fifth foal. She is in great health and on track for a mid-May foaling. We will keep you posted as the big day nears. Alys took some great images of Zenyatta on Friday enjoying a beautiful Kentucky spring day.
Enjoy!

I was getting worried as I thought Zenyatta was due to foal in late March. . . can’t wait for this baby to get here.
Donna Z
Thank you to Team Z for posting these great photos & thank you to Alys for taking them. We just had two beautiful days here like the one like Zenyatta had the day of
the photos.
Thank you to the staff at Lane’s End for taking such great care of our Queen. She looks fantastic!
I, too, am hoping for a filly, but will be happy with a colt as long as the baby is healthy. I am sure that Ann & Jerry will be with Zenyatta from right after the Derby until she foals. Wouldn’t it be nice if the foal is born early on May 8, Jerry’s birthday. Mother’s Day would be a great day to be born for Ann, too.
Prayers & pacing until we hear this much anticipated baby arrives.

Thanks for the update. Always glad to hear about Zenny. Hoping for a filly, but a healthy baby and no problems for Mama are most important.

So relieved to know the approximate date. I have already started pacing by checking the blog several times a day. I can relax a little for a few more days. Our Zenny is lookin’ good and as has been said what a beautiful day. Thanks for the wonderful pictures.
Wouldn’t it be great to also be celebrating a big win with Gormley!?
Love and prayers for all.
