We appreciate all of the love and support her fans have shown. While we understand the concern the public has for Zenyatta’s well-being, we ask that you do not contact Lane’s End Farm to inquire about Zenyatta or her foals. We do our best to be generous with information and to share Zenyatta’s life with her fans through this website. Zenyatta.com will continue to be the source of official updates on all things Zenyatta.

Justify will be evaluated after some filling in his left front leg .The problem started about a week ago but improved only to return when he started to train again according to Bob.No further plans will be made until after the evaluation.
Serena Williams has reached the semi finals at Wimbledon.She looks a sure winner.Video up of Blue’s daughter getting ringed she is a big girl!Fabulous video of the Dyfi ringing.Such a perfect summer’s day with Telyn circling around in the bluest of skies.I am sure the bobs told her about their big adventure when she returned to the nest.

Dear Sheena:
I’m so sad to hear of Justify’s leg issue. This courageous baby boy broke his Maiden at first asking on Feb 18th of this year. He then proceeded to win his next five races resulting in his winning the Triple Crown. Six races in four months. Only the 13th horse to ever win the TC and the first horse to do it never having raced as a two year old. Sending healing prayers to this beautiful boy. Love and Hugs Champ.
Hope Summer’s Mom gets an AC for her. Hope next time for Mar Xiang. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

OOPs: that’s Mei Xiang. Love and Hugs, JB

Sad to hear leading NH sire Black Sam Bellamy has died at the age of 19.By Sadler’s Wells out of Urban Sea he was a full brother to Galileo and half brother to Sea The Star’s.He had suffered with congestive heart failure but was still able to cover a few mares when he was”in the mood”.His condition deteriorated on monday and he was humanely euthanised on veterinary advice.He is in the great stable now with his mum and dad.Cherry Hinton’s daughter Athena won the Belmont Oaks last weekend.RIP Sam
sheena.davies(wales)
For those who may not know Cherry Hinton was a daughter of Urban sea.Black Sam was an excellent flat racehorse.He had been leased to Shade Oak Stud for the last 10 seasons and was the sire of World Hurdler Sam Spinner plus the ever popular Giant Bolster.One of his sons was sold recently to Jonjo O’Neill for€100,000.He had the best pedigree of any NH stallion in the world.A great,great loss.Much sympathy to the stud.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Yes, an excellent pedigree. RIP Black Sam Bellamy.
Condolences to all connections.
Hope Justify will make a complete recovery — Power up, beautiful boy.
Prayers for prompt, total healing.
Hugs and Love

I was so saddened to read of the passing of our dear Keta. She taught me so much about racing and thoroughbreds. Her posts were always a joy to read. My heart goes out to her family. How blessed we have been to get to know each other through our shared love of Zenyatta.

My heart is broken,my nerves shot to pieces South African Kevin Anderson beat Roger Federer in an absolute thriller this afternoon 2-6 6-7 7-5 6-4 13-11 the match lasted 4hrs and 14 mins.Women get equal prize money now don’t make me laugh!They should play the best of 5.It was’nt that Roger lost Kevin played a blinder so huge congratulations to him.Now Rafa is down 2 sets to 1 playing Del Potro.Roger will be back next year!

Another fantastic quarter final between Rafa and Juan Martin Del Potro another 5 sets and amazing tennis.Such a shame one had to lose.Rafa won 7-5 6-7 4-6 6-4 6-4.The best day of the Championship so far and all the male semi-finalists are over 30.Congratulations to all 4.England lost their semi final in the World cup Croatia will play France on sunday.

Thanks be to God for Keta. Grant comfort to her beloved family and dear friends.
Dearly loved and forever missed. ?
Much Love on her birthday.
Sandy (northeast Ohio)
Happy heavenly Birthday dear Keta. The memorial service for Keta will be tomorrow in Arizona. Here is a link to her obituary and the request for donations either to Catholic Charities or one’s local humane society. I think that Diana Stuart will be representing us, but we will all certainly be there in spirit.

Hello team Zenyatta, hope the Queen of racing is doing well.
I guess Zenyatta doesn’t see her filly anymore and possibly her filly isn’t at Lane’s End anymore. Maybe off to train??
How does Zenyatta spend her days? Is she out at night? Is she alone?
Maybe a couple pictures would be nice. I know your busy too.
Seems Zenyatta is the only one with time on her hands.
Peace to you Queen Zenyatta!
Write soon ok?
Love you!

A lovely photo of Treve and her Shalaa filly.

Is Justify too valuable to race again?No one knows how much his insurance policies add up to and will the owners be willing to take the risk.
Serena Williams and Angie Kerber have reached the Ladies final at Wimbledon.Kate and Meghan will be there on saturday.
AnnNC
Good looking filly. Love Treve!
What is the news for Justify? Hope it is nothing major but still stall rest could last rest of summer for minor issue? Oh poor guy!!
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Judy.Athena’s sister Goddess had a fine win at Leopardstown and is now a favourite for next year’s 1000gns.By Camelot out of a Galileo half-sister she won by9 lengths.GoodnightGod bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

Another amazing performance by Alpha Centauri in the Falmouth.When will she take on the boys though?Another superstar filly this year again.1 set all in the Anderson/Isner semi final.A 10 day ban for Frankie he misses Goodwood and the King Geoge.He will appeal.
sheena.davies(wales)
An amazing match on centre court.A semi final between John Isner and Kevin Anderson it is in the 5th set 21-20 they have been playing 6 hrs!It looks like rain who knows?When I see a woman’s match last this long they will be worth every penny of their equal prize money.Until then. No.
sheena.davies(wales)
Kevin Anderson won in the end to become the first South African to reach the final in 97yrs.It was the 2nd longest match in Wimbledon history lasting 6hrs and 35 mins.Kevin who put out Roger Federer. won the last set 26-24.Djokovic is leading Nadal by 2 sets to 1 when play stopped at 11pm.A long day of exciting matches for tennis fans.

One week from today is opening day at Saratoga! This year’s meet runs until Mon. Sept 3rd. Races are run Wed. thru Mon. with no races on Tuesdays. I believe that there is at least one stakes race run every day.
Gary Stevens is riding here for the meet this year & Mike Smith will fly in for some of the big stakes races, so I should be able to see my two favorite jockeys. This will be my first chance to meet Gary. Mike has always been so great about taking the time to meet with his fans in the past.
I was hoping that Justify would run in the Travers on Aug. 25, but things don’t look too good for that right now with his team trying to determine what is going on in his left front ankle. I am hoping that he will be ok and can race again before he is retired.
Even if Justify does not come, there will be many of the top horses in the country here to race who I will be glad to see “in person”. I have penciled in five days that I would like to go to the track. Hopefully, we will have good weather on those days.
I hope we have a great and safe meet for all horses and riders!
shirleeinindy
Donna,
Good Magic is training pretty frequently and I think he might be showing up at Saratoga. Even though he was no match for Justify, he is a good horse. Hope you get to see him and some of the others in person. Some good mares should be there too. Mike and his Belle.
Darlene Daniels
I am wondering if there may be so few comments lately because we have to keep signing in each time. Not complaining mind you, but maybe some are confused.
Anyway, to reply to Donna: Gary and Mike are also my two favorite jockeys. We are wishing only the best for Justify, but I do hope he can race a few more times, especially the BC Classic. Power up Justify! Enjoy the races Donna.
Dear Zenyatta, stay cool sweetheart. This weekend is going to be another scorcher. Hope your airconditioning is working.
