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!

My computer is back up; turned out to be the monitor and not my PC. Didn’t have a problem logging in to the Blog today. Maybe all is resolved.
Yes, I too hope ZILKHA is on her way to continued good health. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Glad your computer is up and running. I didn’t have a problem logging in just now, but yesterday evening I had to bypass that “Connection is not private” warning. I would feel a lot more secure if that certificate got renewed. By secure I mean Blog existence, not just privacy concerns.
Fingers crossed! 🤞

Dear Z Fans:
You’re not going to believe your eyes when you see this race replay. Jockey Abel Lezcano had a stirrup break entering the first turn of the race. Takes a remarkable athlete to manage to hang on sideways on the horse, right himself and stay aboard. Thank God everyone came through fine.

That was terrifying! What an amazing display of strength and determination. Abel Lezcano managed to hang on and pull himself back up to the saddle. So glad both he and Christmas Present avoided injury!

Dear Judy,
Thanks so much for all the links you provide. I couldn’t get into the blog for some time until I figured out how to get around the not safe warnings. Feel lost without it even though I don’t post often I check it every day.
Beautiful pictures of Z and the latest addition. They both look gorgeous. Wish we saw more of them.

Thanks for posting this video/interview! War Front sure is gorgeous, and I love that he is the “spitting image” of his sire, Danzig. So nice to know the image and qualities are being passed along, too.
