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!

RIP Amazombie who was retired at Old Friends. He was living a happy life there with paddock-mate Rapid Redux. He suffered a severe ankle injury while racing around in his paddock — the ankle couldn’t be repaired.
Condolences to all at Old Friends and to all connections.

Also, RIP Brereton Jones, excellent horseman and breeder, who died September 18 at age 84. He accomplished a lot for Kentucky, horses and racing. Condolences to family and friends.

Dear Z Fans:
I don’t know if this link will work. It’s a video of Z and NYM that I found on Lanes End’s Facebook page. Couldn’t find the date it was taken. It looks recent judging by NYM’s size.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting Frankie’s Champions Long Distance Cup win at Ascot.
That was exciting! Congrats to him, Trawlerman, the Gosdens and all connections!
He also came through in Race 5, the Champions Stakes – G1 (1m, 2F) riding King of Steel for Richard Varian and connections. The crowd went wild!! This was his last race at Ascot presumably. He was very emotional and happy about this final win.
Great accomplishment and truly outstanding career.
Hugs and Love 🏇 🏇 🏇

RIP Desert Crown. 4 year old son of Nathaniel — grandson of Galileo. He suffered an injury in August which at first seemed to be improving (fracture in his left front); however, it was observed that he was relying more on his other leg than should be. After re-evaluation, they determined his injury was not healing. He was euthanized. Gone way too soon. So sad to lose any but especially the young.
😔 Condolences to all who loved this brave boy.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Correction: The fracture was in his off-front fetlock.
Not sure I got that right.
Sorry.

Dear Marshall:
So sad; so young. RIP Desert Crown. Run free in God’s Heaven.
