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!

Oh my he is so handsome! I can’t wait to see him out and about. I wonder if he will stay chestnut or turn gray. I don’t see the goggles but he is still wet and his muzzle is very light. Either way he is one nice looking big guy.

Congratulations beautiful Mama Zen and your handsome new son. Oh, he’s a “KEEPER” alright, and those ears look pretty large to me. Thank you to the Mosses and LE Staff for keeping us abreast of this wonderful event. Can’t wait for more pics. Those Chestnuts are really making their voices heard lately. Kisses on noses Auntie Sue

I have to admit I was hoping for a gray filly, but 13Z is handsomely perfect in his own right. I am always amazed as to how the genetics of the parents come into play. Best wishes to the Mosses & Team Zenyatta! Now we have 2 princes to watch.

What a beauty. Zenny looks so sweet with her baby boy. None of us will ever forget his birthday! Wonder if Ann and Jerry were at the birth? Sure hope he stays chestnut and in 3 years we have another Big Red. So glad all went well and mom and baby are safe and healthy. Motherhood sure does become our Queen.
