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!

Awww. It’s so good to see you, Zenyatta and your handsome second son, 13Z. You are absolutely the closer extrodinaire. I remember there was another red horse who was in a hurry to get up and get his life started. He was named Secretariat.
Well, I haven’t read any of the other congratulation messages, yet and I’m sure they will be pouring in all day.
Can’t wait for more pics. and to see how this little guy greets the outdoors. It’s a big world out there just waiting for your enjoyment.
Thank you Team Z for letting us know right away and congratulations to all of Zenyatta’s connections.

Congratulations Zenny!!! The best birthday present ever!!! Two questions: When are they ever going to name your poor name less firstborn and who will be the “chosen one” to join you in producing next years much awaited foal?

Perhaps that’s what they should call him – “No Fool” – if it isn’t already taken. He is definitely a handsome little guy and I was surprised to see he is chestnut.

He looks a little more like Shackleford than Tapit.
Hmmmmn!
Did Zenyatta sneak out at all around that time?

You’re A Special Breed Zenyatta
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice for you, you are a special horse to God. You are His beloved child and you have the constant presence of His Son. And it is the Lord’s manifested presence, His glorious power working in your heart and through your hooves that will cause everything you touch to prosper with the Jesus-kind of results. In fact, even your harshest critic will have to conclude that the Lord is with you and is blessing the work of your hooves!
Amen
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Amen indeed.

Way to go Queen Z – I got my colt – he has a gorgeous big white blaze – no mistaking who that will be in the stretch run! I had hoped for a dapple grey colt but I am excited to see a sorrel colt just as much! Anticipating all the new pictures to come – is this our next TC winner? No Foolin! We need a Triple Crown Winner!
