VERSAILLES, KY — (June 10, 2023) It’s a girl! There was great joy last night in welcoming ZENYATTA‘s eighth foal, a beautiful filly by War Front. She arrived during sunset, 9:18 PM, at Lanes End Farm. The foaling was filled with ease and elegance and both mom and baby are in excellent health and exude happiness. Zeny’s new filly has legs for days and sports a blaze to match her mother’s.
In attendance were Zenyatta’s co-owner, Ann Holbrook (Moss) as well as Farm Manager Todd Claunch, Broodmare Manager Jenn Laidlaw, and with Tremendous gratitude to the veterinarians from both Rudd and Riddle and Hagyard and the entire farm staff at Lanes End Farm for their beyond ordinary incredible love and caring! Ann is overjoyed to welcome this beautiful filly to Zenyatta’s family. This will be Zenyatta’s last foal as she is being retired as a broodmare.
Big Thank Yous to All the Zenyatta fans who have kept watch, posted comments, and sent all their good wishes!
