Zenyatta will not be bred this year. She continues to do well and is looking great with her new paddock buddy—even sharing her cookies. We’ll post more photos of them soon!
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.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if our Mike (with a little help from Justify) would win the TC. He’s done everything but.

Dear Sheena and Z Fans:
Rooting for Mikey too. Glad the bobs are OK. Summer is a special girl.
Was just reading about the Queen’s Call To Mind. He is a home bred by Galileo out of the Queen’s mare Memory. Here’s a photo of the beautiful boy. Has the look of his Daddy and Frankel. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Z Fans:
The Bay loading on he plane in the above video might be Nobel Indy. He and Justy are great friends and probably travel together. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Z Fans:
Just read that Free Drop Billy was on the same flight as Justy, so he may be the Bay loading in the video. They’re all so beautiful. Love and Hugs, JB

OOPS:
Just realized! No way that’s Free Drop Billy. He’s a Chestnut with a Cashmere coat. Sorry about that. Love and Hugs,JB

Hovis has been betrayed!A betrayal so devastating he may never recover.Mini-mother is riding an’old grey pony'(his words)What was mother thinking?But even in his anguish he remembers his old Equine hero Denman and pays tribute.Safe trips to all horses and jockeys this weekend.

Along with you all, I add my Congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen, Call To Mind and all those associated. Great race and such a handsome champion, too. Nice ride by Javier!!

I appreciate this information. Glad to know Zenny will have a year off …her Team always does what’s best for her.
TrueFan
I doubt the motivation is ever what’s best for Zenyatta. It’s the horse breeding business at work here, that’s all. Do any of you really think breeding here again at age 15 is the best for her health? You see how it hasn’t been successful so far.
Unhappy
She deserves the very best as one of the greatest thoroughbred champions ever, and that is in the control of her owners still, I assume? Please stop risking her health by continuing to breed her. Do you think it’s in Zenyatta’s best interest to breed her – ever again? She’s now 14 years old; so you’re going to try breeding her again when she’s fifteen years old?? Try to convince us that is in her best interest. It can’t be. Please give back to her all that she has given to you; which was all that she had to give and all that was ever asked of her; always and ever kind, gentle, and loving besides. She’s already made you all rich…

Just read that you will be given a rest for now.
That is a great idea. Enjoy it.
Lots of love.

Godspeed to all the horses today.
Perhaps we should cook up a bunch of exotic combinations of all the chestnuts to bet on.
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
Like that idea. Hoping Chestnuts rule!
Godspeed; safe and sound all horses and riders. Love and Hugs, JB
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
You’re idea was a very good one. Box the Chestnuts and throw in the right Bay and you have it. Hope you did it with the Gronk. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Sheena:
OMG, what a warrior Justy is. I am sooo happy for him, Mikey and BB. Congrats Beautiful Boy. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
YAY!! That was a beautiful race! SO happy for Justify, Mike, BB and all concerned. Since we had to wait 37 years for American Pharoah to break the drought, I am quite pleased to have another TC champion within 3 years — it is well deserved. Huge Congratulations to the entire Team Justify!!
The script for this outcome could not have been written any better by anyone. Storybook ending for sure. No one is more worthy of this accomplishment than Mike Smith! Justify is one magnificent chestnut — just gorgeous.
I was pulling really hard for Mind Your Biscuits, and he almost did it, too. He made a super charge heading for the finish. Biscuits, YOU ROCK!
Hugs and Love

Have to hand it to Gronkowski. Never ran on dirt and he handled it beautifully. Hofburg and Vino Rosso fought it out for third. Congrats to all of them. Thrilled for Mikey and for BB; second TC for him. Hope everyone came back safe and sound. Love and Hugs, JB

PS: Three Chestnuts and a Bay. Chestnuts Rule!!!!

Dear Judy.Gronkowski ran a great race.Thrilled for you to have another TC winner.Poor Merin’s nest has been destroyed in high winds.It never looked very safe.They have started to build another but too late for this season.Good to see Kate out today and the children are always a delight.Goodnight God bless you.LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

Biscuits came so close too!Love and hugs.
Judy Berube
Dear Sheena:
Tough loss for Biscuits. He really tried to catch that Bee. I’m concerned for Bolt; he just didn’t fire. Hope he’s OK. Shame about Merin’s nest. Love hearing news on the Royals. Love and Hugs, JB
Ingrid Arnone
Wow!! To Mike, we love you.
you’re the best….!!
Big hugs Ingrid.

Couldn’t be happier for Mike Smith and that cute pink-nosed Justify! Can’t wait to see them back at Santa Anita for a victory parade – yay!

Justify, you were just MAGNIFICENT! Congratulations, everyone is just SO PROUD of you! Congratulations to all the connections as well!

I’m so happy for Mike and Justify and all of their team! I am still at a loss for words.
I think ii is wonderful that his mom was in the winners circle with him to celebrate his victory.
I hope that all horses came out of the Belmont and all of the other races well.
I was rooting for Biscuits in his race, but today was not his time to win. He ran a wonderful race; his first at this distance and he almost won. I am a little concerned about Bolt and I hope that he is ok.
The big question for all who live in my area is will Justify come to Saratoga for the Travers. I hope he does and wins that race as well. I would love to see him “in person”.
sheena.davies(wales)
Huge congratulations to the King of clay Rafael Nadal who has just won his 11th French Title at Roland Garros beating Dominic Theim 6-4 6-3 6-2.Rafa struggled with cramp towards the end of the match.It was a humid afternoon and Rafa puts his heart and soul into a match.No 12 next year??
Wishing the Duke of Edinburgh a very Happy 97th birthday today.
Carol Corl
Congratulations to Justify and team. So exciting. Justify has five Belmont winners in the first five generations of his pedigree; Damascus, Native Dancer, Nashua, Seattle Slew, and A P Indy. Secretariat appears twice in the sixth generation. He was bred to be a Triple Crown winner.
beverly jean ballard
Congrats to all the connections of the magnificent Justify! We have been blessed as with the equally magnificent Zenyatta. Thank you also to Mike Smith! You have truly been blessed. I am fortunate to have witnessed in real time Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Pharoah, and now the great Justify accomplish greatness. He makes racing as exciting as it could possibly be. And for all the doubters ( Randy Moss NBC ) start believing. I knew all along my friend.
