She delivered a healthy colt by Tapit at 11:47 pm EST on Monday April 1. Estimated at 145 lbs, he is a leggy chestnut with a white blaze similar to Zenyatta’s. Eager to start his new life, he was standing on his own by 12:18 am and nursing within an hour.
Both are doing so very well, and it’s a joy to see how much Zenyatta loves being a mom.
Thank you to all of the fans who have been following The Queen and sending good wishes and blessings. It worked!
We can’t wait to spend the day with little 13Z tomorrow, and there will be many more pictures to come!

Congratulations Zenny! I am so thrilled for you and all your connections. Hope you enjoy your son. He looks like a beauty and it will be fun to watch him grow up. Looks to me like he will stay chestnut, due to the lack of pigment around his eyes. I am sure he will be very handsome! Love you Z!

I love the suggested name Zapit. But most of all, I love YOU, dear Zenny, and the amazing things you continue to do.

I really dont have th knowledge about genetics to comment on the grey possibilities, but I do not the first thing I thought of wn I saw th blaze was Secretariat.at first I just thought, “well, thats crazy!” Thn wn I read more comments I noticed several people had th same thought! He is A Beauty tho. So I guess we will just have to wait it out n see what color happens.
Louise Castello
I thought the same thing. A “little” Big Red!!!
Linda
I thought the same thing Kim. The blaze and Secretariat’s color.
Kathy B.
Whoo hoo – so glad momma and baby are doing well! he’s quite a looker!
Jimmy Fikes
Cute horse,but do you think he will turn grey or white like Tapit or stay chestnut?
Bobbie --- Elkhorn WI
Just thought of the perfect name for this little guy—Tap Dancer! Not very original but it sure fits!
Sally B. (cherish Z- Wi.)
Cute name Bobbie, but how about a Z in it such as Tapdanczer.
Carol McE
Look at the sweet eyes on mother and son! Can’t wait for names on these boys!

I think he’s gonna be quite the charmer! So relieved you are both doing so well! Love you Zenny!!!

Congrats Queen Z…you did as I suggested yesterday, enjoyed your party then delivered a handsome baby boy! One of my favorite colors a chestnut! You are truly a very loving mom. The softness in your eyes toward Z13 reflects your gentleness. We are all so blessed to be able to share you and all of your life adventures. Thank you so very much Ann and Jerry, Zenny is truly a national treasure.
Elaine
Thanks to all who make this a national…no iternational event and following! It blesses my heart every time there is a post and this one is really special! Congrats to ZENYATTA…a true Queen! …now you have two Princes.
