Happy Tuesday!
Alys sent us these sweet photos of Z Princess out in the paddock with her mom and their paddock mates. We’ll be visiting Lane’s End in September, and we can’t wait.
In the meantime we’ve been hard at work planning the rest of the year for Zenyatta.com, and we have some exciting announcements coming up. Today, we’re starting a brand new mailing list for those who’d like to stay updated. You can subscribe by entering your email address in the form to the right (just under the search form). Members will receive news from Zenyatta.com, offers from the Zenyatta Shop, and will be the first to know about special events and opportunities to meet Zenyatta!
Enjoy!

There is so much that can go wrong between great potential and the winner’s circle but this filly looks incredibly special. I trained and raced my own homebreds in NY years ago to modest success but I never had foals like you have nor could I ever have afforded such. Thank you for letting me live vicariously, watching the best of the best from birth onwards. You’ve got the horses and you handle the horses the way ideally they should be handled. Thanks again for the joy you bring me in sharing Zenyatta and her babies.

OMG. Did you all notice the part in the announcement of the new mailing list about “opportunities to meet Zenyatta”? Opportunities to meet Zenyatta!!!
sue and tony
Yes, we noticed this, too. Oh my, we would love the chance to meet her and this gives us some hope!
Pam
Not only is the Princess a beauty, but she’s very sociable! Love seeing her with girls her own age and having fun!

Just wondering….Will ZPrincess remain with Zenyatta longer than her brothers since Zenyatta was not bred this year?
Z13Rulz
Unlikely.
The open or gravid status of the mare does not affect the weaning schedule in a big operation like Lane’s End.
Looking at her maturity I would expect Z14 will be weaned no later than the end of September.

What Z13rulz said.
Lane’s End weans them in groups. It’s easier on the weanlings, who will be with all their buddies. It’s also easier on the mares, who will be with their girlfriends. (Not to mention that is is easier on the staff.)

Dear Alys,
You have the “eye” for selecting those pictures which tell so much about Z14. Each has an emotional impact. From these pics I see our young girl developing that amazing bone and full muscled front and back end. Yikes! All that potential power plus a sweet and inquiring expression in her eyes. Thank you Alys for your talent and skill. You’ve given me a most dream filled day. This next generation is on the map……

THANK YOU TEAM Z AND LEF for these Wonderful Pics of Zeaster which is the name I have given her since she was born on Easter morning. I do so hope to meet Z someday in person!!! Zeaster is quite a Beauty and she does have quite a bit of War Front in her I think although she does have Zenny’s ears and her Motor!! Thank you again for this recent post and update on this lovely daughter of Z! HUGS TO ALL

Love the Queen, her Boys and Easter Lily. I would be in awe to meet her and feel extremely blessed. Love hearing about her and The Kids! The pic of Baby Girl with a mouth full of leaves made me snicker. Best laugh of my day. Keep the pics coming Aly, great job and treat for us. Glad all is well. Xxxooo shirley Evans. Florida
Tiz Herself
Z14 you are absolutely stunning! Not a surprise but it takes my breath away every time I see pictures.
It will be interesting to see who Zenyatta is bred to in 2015, she and War Front made a beauty, as did she with Tapit and Bernardini.

If this match up happens in the Pennsylvania Derby between Shared Belief and California Chrome…. wow
And I read that Australia and Kingman could meet again this year for round two – two match ups on both sides of the pond. I give a slight (very slight) nod to Australia who was outstanding in the Irish Derby and he strutted his stuff the other day against older horses…. the possibilities!

Dear TH:
Classic is shaping up to be very exciting. Love and Hugs, JB

Yikes!! That is one of the races in the handicapping contest. Too bad they don’t offer an exacta box!!!
suew/Va
These pictures are incredible, Alys. Thanks so much for continuing to share this stuff with Zenny’s huge family of fans. I can’t wait for news of the goodies in store for us…especially opportunities to meet the Queen.
Marilu Villanueva
Hard to believe she will be weaned sooner than later. I forget what age they have to go.
So sad for Zenyatta. She is just like any mom. She will miss them.
Thank you for the pictures Team Z.
Cathleen
Our Princess is getting so big. And opportunities to meet Zenyatta! Yes, please!!

Thanks so much, Alys! These pictures really show Z Princess’ personality. LOVE the leaves… and I think I would faint if I got the chance to meet Queen Z.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island

Joanna_TX
Wonderful pictures! Thanks SO much team Z.
Janet Newman
Love all the new pictures of the Princess Z.
I wish there was an opportunity to see Zenyatta in October. I have made my ultimate trip to Lexington that I planned over two years. Traveling from Alaska is getting cost
prohibitive and I doubt I will ever be able to do this kind of trip again.
Oh well, the way the world goes.
See you in my dreams Z.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Janet:
Wow, I had no idea you were in Alaska. Have a great time on your trip to Lexington. Love and Hugs, JB
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Debbie G and I are really looking forward to meeting Janet in Lexington!
Judy
Gorgeous photos, thanks so much….I have a dumb question…does anyone know the significance of all the green tape on her halter?
jean Hagarty
Please add my name to the list. Thank you.

Dear Lane’s End, Alys and Team Zenyatta:
Gorgeous new photos of the young Princess: just the most feminine thing! And thanks always to Mr and Mrs Moss for continuing to share the store of the magical Zenyatta. Hugs KathyR
