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!

He’s got those “pink” looking eyes so my guess is he doesn’t have the “graying” gene and he’ll stay a chestnut.
I’m glad she foaled safely.

Hooray! Good job Zenny! The baby is beautiful!

What a beautiful boy he is!! Congrats to the whole Zenyatta family… how exciting it must be to see Queen Z’s legacy continue. I had a thought regarding a name for the new addition a few days ago while reading about some of this years Derby hopefuls, in particular Verranzano. There’s another bridge in NY named the Tappan Zee that is being rebuilt this year. It seems quite fitting for the son of Tap n Z! :-)

O’ Happy Day!
Today is the day we are blessed with the presence of a new prince. Z12 has a brother and we all have a new godchild. He came on a day of the happiest occasion, and now, he and his Great mom will share a birthday.
‘So let’s sing it from the mountain tops
A new star is born!
This time, we again pull out all the stops
Because a new star is born!
He’ll be a hero to please the crowds
Because a new star is born!
So sing and shout out loud
A new star is born!’
How wonderful it is to see him. I bet Tapit is passing out the extra special cigars after seeing this little guy. I can’t wait to see him out in the pasture with mom. I wonder if he will want to run around all the time. Oh, so many things to find out and so little patience to wait! Ah!
Mama Z, you did it again. You look fabulous and you dropped a wonderful looking colt. Congratulations on doing things in your own time, and making your special day even more special.
Thanks for the great picture Team Z!

Dear Pati @ throwing out my pacing rug, so nicely written, I couldn’t have said it any better, Thanks, have a Blessed day, it is indeed a Happy day.

I’m so glad she made it through OK. What a lovely mother she is! Thank you for letting us, the fans who love her so, be a part of her life. Ann & Jerry, I, for one, am very grateful for all you do to include us in Zenyatta’s world. I’ve loved Thoroughbreds my whole life but I don’t know of any who have touched me as much as Zenyatta has. Maybe social media has something to do with it, but, I really think it is her & her personality that has captured my heart. Congratulations to you all!
Mary Adkins-Matthews
So happy for her and everyone that loves her. She will ALWAYS be the queen! Love you Zenyatta!
Sue
That made my morning…So happy for Zenyatta, she had a healthy boy…Congratulations Zenyatta, Tapit and everyone involved with this wonderful little miracle!!
maureen phi-llips
There should be a family Portrait of the Queen and her 2 handsome Prince, that would be just awesome.
I wonder if they would let Prince ZB, visit sometime to meet his little brother. I think that would just be too cute. Am just saying and wishing.
LOL to all.
Pat
Congratulations, Queen Z, So happy that little 13Z is as beautiful as his brother and mother.
