Happy Saturday!
Scroll down for photos from our most recent trip to Lanes’s End.
Zenyatta and her War Front filly spend their summer days grazing and playing with paddock-mates. When the flys are particularly pesky, Z Princess will stay close to her mom’s tail for extra protection.
Zinconic was showing off for us in the paddock (we think he’s excited to be in training prep). Our next blog post will cover his new routine.
Enjoy!

Z Princess is absolutely stunning! They all look so happy and healthy. I can’t wait to see what LIS’s young man will look like when he’s totally gray. Ziconic is gorgeous. Thanks for making my day. I could look at pictures of Queen Z and her family all day.

Baby girl is big, lovely and confident. Ziconic is a wonder; I can’t believe he’s only a yearling. He looks bigger to me than Coz at the same stage. Coz, also a gorgeous baby, has truly blossomed as a two year old.
Love you always, Z.
Susie Cartwright
Wow what a way to make my Saturday happy! All of the pretty pictures of The Queen and the kids! Lanes End surely is Heaven! Thank you for the update!
Jane Grant
Thank you for posting these wonderful pictures!! I always enjoy seeing Z and her kids. please keep sending the latest news of them all.
Liz
Thank for continuing to share with us fans. I met Zenyatta when she was at Churchill and felt such an emotional response. Gentle but strong. Petting her felt like velvet stretched over muscle and she kept tickling my face with her whiskers.

Dear Liz:
Wow, what a treasured memory that must be for you. I have never been so lucky to see Z up close, so your description of your visit really is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Love and Hugs, JB

The Queen and her Court….Was.. Is…. And always shall be… Unbelievable
Barbara Zylbert
All the Z babies are great but her filly stands out even more. Very excited about her filly! Hope Z has a series of fillies as her enduring legacy!
Lorraine Fitzpatrick
I’m sorry if I missed something but why is Z’s eyes covered. Thank you for all the beautiful photos; everyone looks wonderful!!

A “feast of photos” is absolutely spot-on, Ann Maree. Knowing as I do that photos almost never do their subjects justice, I can only imagine how blown away Team Z must be each time they visit Zenny and her family.
The Princess aka WOWZA continues to grow into a beautiful, big and strong filly, just like her Mama from these absolutely sensational photos. And Ziconic — so grown up but, being a sucker for a chestnut, my heart leaps just watching him. That look in his eye as he sweeps by kind of says it all and just look at the stride on him.
Thank you so much Team Z for this treat! And please give a kiss to Zenny from her Montreal groupie.
Perky Green
Thank-You for the Photos Our Baby girl is growing fast She looks like she is getting a darker color, but thats OK she seems to favor her Mother. She is noticeably larger than the other foals, in the photos. She is a real Beauty..Ziconic, What can you say about him? He is so stunning every time I look at him, words just escape me.I see in the photos of him, trotting or galloping he holds his tail the same way Zenny held hers. I think he is probably more like his Dam than we think.I hope he maintains that beautiful color, He is just too Stunning to change. Once again thank-you for the info and photos, they never fail to make my whole day. I know you folks are busy, but has anyone seen Coz lately?How is he coming along? And please keep us posted as to when we might see him on the track. I know he is in N.Y. or was with John
Robin
Best present we could get!! Thank you so much. Z and her babies are very happy horses, and that means everything to Z’s fans.
Karen
Wonderful group of photos of them all. Thank you so much for sharing her and her babies with us. Ziconic, aka the little red haired kid, is really growing up. He is just gorgeous. and Princess Z is beautiful. of course Zenyatta is always beautiful and they are all so special. Just can’t thank you enough for keeping us up-dated.
Sarah
Z’s filly looks so much like Zenyatta and her brothers especially in the fourth photo. It would love to see her with a name that reflects the resemblance to a bird her blaze has. Something with Falcon in it – strong, swift, self-assured, and fearless as she appears to be.And look at Ziconic fly! He seems to be taking in his early training well.
Zenyatta is as lovely as ever. She looks magnificent, and thanks for all these new photos. :)

Absolutely Stunning Photos!
Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us. I swear the one of Ziconic running up the hill towards the camera looks like he is channeling Secretariat! (Or Curlin too – I see that resemblance as well.) He is one hunky colt – sturdy and bold. Princess Z reminds me of a ballerina – long legs and dainty face (but don’t look at that big caboose when looking for the ballerina part). LOVE her curly mane – she must already be having spa days with mom.
This equine family continues to impress and bring joy to dark places for so many of us. Thank you again, Ann and Jerry, Team Z, Team Lanes End, and all the wonderful photo peeps.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
We really hit the jackpot today!! The princess in adorable and sooo big already, and Ziconic is just . . . . WOW!!! Will be looking forward to hearing about his training routine, but for now he seems to be having the best time ever!! Thank you so much to all of the photographers, the web team, and the rest of Team Z for this wonderful treat. So cute to see Ann and Zenny doing the video chat with Coz – can’t wait to hear what he had to say back :-)
Deb E.
Princess is shedding her baby coat and turning into a carbon copy of her gorgeous Mama! I love the photo of Ann and Zennie video chatting with Coz at Belmont; it’s nice to know Zenyatta likes to keep track of her older babies and their activities!
Ziconic, you are an astounding specimen! I just knew you’d LOVE to run! Thank you to photographer Tyler Matson for capturing such wonderful images of Zi running. You really captured what a special boy he is!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
TEAM ZENTASTIC – where are the rest of you? It seems like everyone should have gotten an email to rejoin the team. Early on there were some technical issues with our page, but that seems to be fixed. Click on “rejoin the team” in the email, and after you sign in with your email name and password (last year’s passwords work – I think you can contact the web support people if you don’t remember), click on the link that says something like “Activate my team in this league” and that should take care of it. Hope to see everyone soon – first race is the Eddie Read on July 20th.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Sandy:

Susan Edwards
I have a suggestion for the filly’s name. Tanzanite-a gem.
Susan
Stunning Simply Stunning!
Gloria
Thanks, as always, for the photos. Zenyatta’s foals vary in color quite a bit. The filly looks like she’s part bay, part chestnut. I can’t believe how fast they are growing. Love being able to have a look at everything Zenyatta!
patricia jones
