Just look at Zenyatta coming with her princess to see her loving mom, Ann. That is a sweet picture. I will have to go online to see it. Zenyatta’s magnetism is at work big time.
Sending you lots of love and warm thoughts for happiness and everything good momma Z and your princessZ, Coz and Iz.
Thanks always to Team Z.
Maryp NY
Of course I meant, Coz and Zi.
Leone Paull
Enjoy the pictures of Zenyatta and her new babyi. So precious – thank you so much!
Sandra Frey
Team Zenyatta,
I was interviewed in this feature and was excited to talk about my experience with Zenyatta from a fan base view. Seeing her race was an experience I will carry with me forever and your website and social media posts keep us all connected with her and her progeny! Love your girl and thank you for sharing her with us. It was an honor to talk about her.
Blessings to you always,
Sandra

Wow, Sandra, how special is that! High hoof! I’ll be watching for you… Love and hugZ, Trina
Sandra Frey
High Hoof back at you, Trina! I loved every moment of the interview. It was 2 hours long that I talked with them. I am very passionate when it comes to the horse industry and especially Zenyatta.
BTW-California Chrome is my Derby pick…
Much love,
Sandra
Terry Crow
We all envy you, Sandra. Who wouldn’t welcome the opportunity to discuss Z?
Sandra Frey
Terry, the interview was over 2 hours and that was just discussing my experience following and seeing Zenyatta’s racing career. I loved every moment of it. I relived so many moments in my heart that day. I hope you enjoy the feature.
Much love,
Sandra

Another precious picture!! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to watch the Derby and the special about Zenyatta.
Mary in Boone, NC
What a sweet photo: just a girl, her horse, and the baby!!!! Mrs. Moss, you and Zenyatta share quite a connection: pure love to each other. Our Princess has those genes and that connection too!!
Thank you for sharing this dear moment,
xoxo,

Just look at OUR ZENNY and HER BABY GIRL greeting Ann. It’s just TOO CUTE!
Thank you Team Z for the heads-up. As a Canadian fan, there’s probably no way that I can get KET live. So I’ll tune in for the magazine!
GREAT that Zenny is part of DERBY WEEK.
Love to all and peppermint kisses for my Big Girl and her GORGEOUS family.
Deana from Texas
@Abigail-just click on the link provided in the post and “like” the FB page and you can view the broadcast from there.
KathyR
Dear Deana: I assume the advice you’ve given to Abigail will also apply to us Dowunder types? Would be really disappointed to miss the broadcast. Cheers, KathyR.
Ingrid Arnone
OH! What a beautiful and touchy photo!
Thank you!
Hugs Ingrid.
Paula Higgins
I think these pictures of Ann with Zenyatta and her foal are fantastic! Zenyatta clearly has a bond with her and it is wonderful to see. I will tune in on May 5th to see the show. Thank you for posting the post positions Bluegrass Girl. That may change a few things.
Susan Jelmini-Haynes
What a thrill to see the picture of beloved Zenyatta with her little girl right beside her. Ann is so luck to be able to see her whenever she wants.
Maryann Lane
Lovely picture of Queen Z and her Princess and Ms. Moss.
Of course her fan base has stayed strong thanks to the Moss Family and Lanes End keeping us updated on her and her progeny.
Thank you all so much for sharing Zenyatta with us.
DmamaKlock
Can not say it enough…………… Many thanks for posting these photos. Makes us VERY happy to share the joy.
Alex Bowdoin
THANK YOU TEAM Z!! What a Wonderful Pic!! Will be sure to watch online!! All 3 ladies are Beautiful!!

Miracles of Life/Lauren to part company:

Very disappointing news for poor Lauren.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Kathy R.:
Oh, that is sad for Laren S. Godspeed and safe trip for Barbie and all the horses. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC broad)
Yes, this is very sad and disappointing for Lauren S. It is pretty crummy, IMHO, to bump Lauren from the farewell ride. “Barbie” and Lauren were a good team. The human animal is often difficult to understand!
Good Luck and safe racing to Miracles of Life and to Lauren, too!
Janet Newman
How sad and that would be a great disappointment.
I wonder how “Barbie” will run for a jockey she is not familiar with.
Safe trip to Barbie and all the other horses.
Trina Nagele in So Cal
So sorry for Lauren to no longer be aboard the lovely Miracles Of Life for “Barbie’s” swan song. It’s a shame. Love that picture of the two of them. It really shows off Barbie’s long mane and gorgeous forelock. Good luck to both Barbie and to Lauren as life now takes them down separate paths.
Terry Crow
Well, I would say that this is a rotten decision by the owner. The horse is going to be sold anyway, so why?
Alene
This picture speaks a thousand words. The most apparent word is “LOVE”…I think that pretty much says it all. Ann looks at her two girls so lovingly and warmly. Just as Zenny`s ittle girl hugs her mommy. Wow, so awesome and moving. Thanks for sharing this moment!! Lots of HUGE hugs and kisses, Alene
Deborah Richman
What a sweet picture! You really can feel the love shared by these three.
And I will definitely tune in to the broadcast when it is available online. How nice that Z and her Princess will be part of Derby day!
Thank you so much, Team Z!
Hugs to all!
Janet Newman
What a great picture.
Ann certainly loves Zenyatta and her offspring. She just glows
in every photo or video I have seen.
I know Z reciprocates the affection, as do Coz, Ziconic and the newest addition
Princess Z.
Janet Newman
Bloodhorse has been doing some nice videos on past Kentucky Oaks winners and I have been wondering how Rags to Riches has been doing at Coolmore in Ireland.
She looks good and it was nice to hear some recent news about her.

Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Janet:
Thank you so much for this wonderful find. RTR looks great. Beautiful mare. Love and Hugs, JB
Terry Crow
Didn’t she win the Belmont stakes?
Janet Newman
Yep, she beat Curlin.
She also stumbled badly coming out of the gate as well.
sue and tony
Once again the magic of Zenyatta prevails and transends time and space. She remains a beloved icon and her offspring will continue her amazing legacy. Every photo of Queen Z and Ann is so special and this one, with the new Princess is even more so.
We are anxious to read the latest “news” on Zenny but in our hearts we already know she is our horse of a lifetime.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Sue and Tony:
Indeed. Love and Hugs, JB
Terry Crow
I’ve had two, and I feel fortunate in that regard. Native Diver was the first.
Max
TC. I read that ND was no pony. He was feisty.
Terry Crow
That is very true. However, he was a ham and loved to pose for the fans. One thing about him. When he was worked by trainer Buster Millerick, he always worked as fast as he ran in a race. I wonder how many trainers would do that today.
suew/Va
I often wonder if Mike Cline and the Farrish family are still amazed at the overwhelming popularity of Queen Zenyatta. It’ss 4 years after her retirement and the public still hungers for information on her. Her offspring will be closely followed by millions who wish and hope they will continue her success. She is the true meaning of someone who is beloved. Ann and Jerry as well as all of Team Z are so lucky to be up close and personal with this magnificient equine family.

After seeing the picture of Queen Z,Little Princess and Ann….I wonder if/when Z will be bred! Don’t think she was bred during her 9 day foal heat so the next time would be about 30 days after foaling mid to late May. We’re starting to get a little past ideal foaling time, she maybe bred this year but wonder about next year.
Little Princess at 151 lb birth weight is going to be one big girl! She is a beauty as are Coz and Ziconic.
Marshall (NC broad)
Goodnight all and sweet dreams!
Love this photo of Ann Moss, Z and 14Z — it is just lovely. Picture Perfect! Thank you very much, Kyle. Well done!

Judy Berube From Rhode Island

Peggy (N) South Georgia
Judy
Just love the photo
Terry Crow

Max
Love Dan. Hoping that he continues his winning ways. Go Danny!
Irene Caty
Do love the picture of Ann, Zenyatta And dear little Princess Z14. You can see the love of a beautiful family just singing out. I am so proud of Zenyatta with all of her beautiful off spring. Her young sons COZ and Ziconic are being trained to one day race like mom Zenyatta. We wish them much luck and will be looking for the day we can see them run on the track to success just like mom Z. I love all of you and wish you the best of luck. To Zenyatta and her adorable family much love and kisses to the best there is. Thanks so much for keeping us informed on our loving Z and her adorable off spring.
Jan S. / Houston
The three of you all look fabulous!
Delrene
I think that is just the sweetest picture of the three “royals” mini-Zen, Mama Zen and their beloved Ann. Just too sweet.
I will look forward to the special. Cannot wait.
Go California Chrome and safe trips to all.
Peggy (N) South Georgia
Just absolutely love the picture of Ann, Zenyatta, and baby Princess. It should be framed. Just priceless. So much love seen in that picture.
KathyR
Dear Peggy (N): Agree with you – my problem, especially with some of those shots of the Princess, is just where to find the room for all the photos I want framed! The problem is everyone connected with the magical Zenyatta is just so gorgeous! Cheers, KathyR.
Peggy (N) South Georgia
Dear Kathy R
I agree too so much. It is so wonderful to see you back. Did not seem right without you here.
Missed your posts very much.
Terry Crow
It wasn’t right. Welcome home, Kathy R.
candi carter
