I am hearing some very disturbing RUMORS about Ziconic.
I hope that Team Z will be able to get out in front of these RUMORS and either confirm or deny them.
Rachel
Your comment is extremely upsetting.
Where and what did you hear about Ziconic?
sheena.davies(wales)
What’s happened to him?.Last I heard he was due back at John’s
Z13Rulz
I don’t want to give it more traction, because it’s already slowly spreading across social media.
We’ll have to wait and see. Just after the past couple of instances, where this website was behind providing information that was broken on other news sources, I was hoping that maybe we could hear something from Team Z.

Someone posted on Zenyatta Forum that they had read that Ziconic was to stand in South Korea. Did not reply when asked where they had read this information. Think it is just a hoax.
sheena.davies(wales)
Maybe this is the news Z13 rulz talked about last night?

A while back , when someone had posted that maybe they were hunting for a stallion prospect, but thought it would be hard, I posted that I hoped he wouldn’t be sent out of the country. I pray that it’s not true. Why can’t he have the same chance that Coz had to be happy in a new career? He had potential as a race horse, but was handled all wrong. Now because he couldn’t race the same as his mother, they gave up on him. He would make a wonderful dressage horse, he already was dancing on his own, or even a 3 day eventer. I don’t know why, but it seemed like they always favored Coz and the fillies. I really thought that they would never send one of their horses out of the country. especially one of Zenyatta’s foals. LET’S ALL PRAY IT’S A TERRIBLE CRUEL RUMER! LOVE ZICONIC! I have tears in my eyes so bad it’s hard to see the keyboard.
Z13Rulz
They sent Royal Mo to South Africa.
When I was doing some legwork I noticed that the Mosses horses are starting to show up as listed under either Jerry or Ann, as ‘majority’ owner. Ziconic is listed under Jerry, and while Ann might never have considered sending a Zenyatta baby out of the country, Jerry has always struck me as more practical.
And to be fair, South Korea is putting a lot of investment into it’s racing program and if Ziconic is considered a better turf sire prospect, he’d do better overseas than he would as a regional sire in the USA.

On this day in 2006 Dessie(Desert Orchid)went to sleep forever in his box.He had gathered his loved ones around him that final weekend and died at 6.05am.As his trainer David Elsworth said Dessie died as he lived His own way.Who in the NH world can forget the flambuoyant front running grey or his Cheltenham Gold cup in 1989.He hate left hand courses the ground was horrible after the early morning snow but he somehow managed to race up that hill.His retirement was much the same as his racing life summers at the Burridges in Yorkshire and the rest of the time with David at Newmarket.He really had a wonderful life and for that his fans are eternally grateful.Sleep tight Dessie you remain forever in our hearts
In November the earth is growing silent
It’s making it’s bed a winter bed for.the flowers
And small creatures.
The bed is white and silent
and much life can hide beneath it’s blankets

Dear Sheena, Z13Rulz, Roberta and Z Fans:
Prayers for all the people and animals lost in the fires and their families and also for those that have lost their homes and possessions. ?
Can’t help worrying about all of our beloved stallions that are at stud overseas and, of course, ZI if he ends up in Korea. Wishing them all safe, happy and healthy lives. Love and Hugs, JB

Marshall (NC Broad)
RIP Tim Stockdale. Too young and far too soon. Condolences to family and friends.
I wish there were some way to send all this excessive rain we’re getting out to California and the areas in the west of the US. Thoughts and prayers for all those ravaged by these hellish fires. RIP all those who have died.
Please send them relief and rain, amen.
Judy Berube
RIP Tim Stockdale. Love and Hugs, JB
Delrene from Carlsbad, Ca
The Biscuit will bid farewell to the U.S. Love this boy and hopefully Shadai will love him as much as we do in the states.
To those who have suffered from the devastating fires in California, know that so many of us have you close in our thoughts and prayers. The destruction has cost many their lives and their homes. Help where you can. Right now the winds have calmed in Carlsbad and we have been fortunate.
And those who will suffer the ravages of the ice cold storms in the east, stay safe and warm.
And sweet Zenyatta, you and your mates will be warm and tucked in in Kentucky.
I wish we could get some of that rain and snow here in drought and fire ravaged California.
Delrene from Carlsbad, Ca
Thank you ( sorry I forgot) for that great video of Cozmic One and his buddy in their pasture. Now those are two very happy horses.
And could Roaring Lion be any more handsome?
Good Night from Ca.
