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!

Dear Marshall and Z Fans:
RIP Funny Cide. Run free in God’s Heaven Champ.
Marshall, great idea to make your own “Breyer” of the gorgeous Chestnut Boy.
Here’s another article of memories of this well loved Warrior.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting the youtube link!!
Love this look at Z and Nymue (I’m still getting used to her name. 🥰)
I enjoyed David I.’s comments very much, too.
Hugs and Love❤️
Judy Berube
Dear Marshall:
I enjoyed hearing what David I. said about Z’s 2010 BCC probably being her best race. I so agree. She made up as much as 30 lengths; glorious effort.
Always tear up when I watch the 2009 and the 2010 BCC. Never have seen anything like it and doubt I ever will again. Love and Hugs, JB

OOPS: Correction. I spelled NYMUE’s name wrong. Sorry about that. Love and Hugs, JB

Congratulations to Mike Smith and Geaux Rocket Ride! What a fantastic ride and finish in the Haskell! Yesterday, he had two winning rides, including , one for John and J. Moss! So very happy for all connections. Mike will turn 58 in a couple of weeks. I hope he’ll be around for Baby Z when she is ready for her first outing. Cute, short of Baby Z on Lane’s End FB. Lindal

Dear Lindal:
I was so happy for Mikey and Geaux Rocket Ride. Congrats to them.
I was thinking exactly the same thing as you hoping Mike is still riding when NYMUE is ready to race.
Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Z Fans:
I think this is the video of NYMUE that our Lindal referenced. Such a Cutie. Look at that curly mane.
You may have to scroll down a bit for the video. Hope the link works.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for the link. I will hope for a form other than facebook —
can only get the Lane’s End opening page which says “login”.

Kudos to Mr. Gagliano on his defense of HISA. Good to see the Jockey Club take a stand for the welfare of horses.

Dear Judy,
Thank you for this post. With all the disinformation, twisting of facts and outright lies, it is very important to take a stand and stay on the high road.
Many kudos to Mr. Gagliono for putting the truth out there.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oops, apologies for the typo. Mr. Gagliano. Don’t know where that extra “o” came from.

Dear Judy,
Can’t figure out what’s going on with the blog certification. It seemed to be re-instated and once again, as of now, I got the warning box notifying me that the “Connection is not private”! Once again, I took a chance and visited the site.
Is anyone else having this occur?
Hope the certificate will be renewed ASAP.
Have a good weekend, my friend❣️
Hugs and Love

My Dear Marshall:
I keep getting the same message and I continue anyway, as you do, to post on Z’s Blog. Hope the certificate is renewed soon. Love and Hugs, JB

For you and Marshall I am still waiting for someone to fix the blog. I still want to keep in touch, too many memories. Nancy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Nancy,
Yes indeed, there are too many wonderful memories and the icing on the cake is the great friends we have made through our beloved Z, too.
So far, whenever that warning box comes up, I will push on through to the Blog. Hope they will renew the certification posthaste.
Hang in there dear friend❣️
