VERSAILLES, KY — (April 20, 2014) It’s a girl! Zenyatta’s third foal was born last night at Lane’s End Farm. The bay filly by War Front arrived at 12:03 am, just in time for Easter. She has one white sock and a blaze.
The foaling, Zenyatta’s third in three years, went smoothly. In attendance were Zenyatta’s owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, Dr. Holder from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, as well as Farm Manager Mike Cline, Broodmare Manager Charles Campbell, and others from Lane’s End Farm. The Mosses are overjoyed to welcome the latest member of Zenyatta’s family. The loving mother and full-of-life foal enjoyed a beautiful and sunny Easter day.
Zenyatta has previously delivered colts by Bernardini and Tapit. Cozmic One, born in 2012, is now in training at Mayberry Farm in Ocala, FL. Ziconic, the recently-named chestnut colt by Tapit, is a yearling under the care of Lane’s End Farm.
Thanks to the Zenyatta fans who have kept watch, posted comments, and sent good wishes!

Coz, Ziconic, Z14… all of Z’s babies are so precious. Each one of them have such expressive eyes, mom’s ears, and Z is such a good mommy, checking on her baby…
As for her coloring, she most definitely got the coat from daddy. Take away the facial markings, here’s a good photo of War Command (by War Front) has the same bay coat.

I’m calling her Princess!
She is beautiful! Team Z you must be so overjoyed! Not only for happy healthy foal, but because Z had a little girl. All mommies want a little girl like themselves! Z and War Front did great!

Tammy
What a classy looking filly! Its hard to believe she’s less than 24 hours old in the picture where she’s outside. Her face is absolutely gorgeous! She has the look of a champion at less than 24 hours old. May the competition get used to seeing her powerful hindquarters and flowing tail as she blazes past them to the finish line; a true champion! Awesome Zenyatta! A champion begets a champion! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Moss, Lane’s End Farm and Team Z for sharing with us. Zenny and War Front really produced an awesome filly!
Janet Newman

Her barn name should be Princess Lilly!

Our Queen truly has a flair for the dramatic, and I think her little princess is adorable. To be born on the holiest day of the Christian calendar is something special, and I hope they name her something that reflects the resurrection…. I’m thinking RiZen on EaZter is fitting. :)
