Here’s a spring update for Zellda fans!
Zenyatta’s 2017 filly by Medaglia d’Oro is training and maturing under the tutelage of Jeanne Mayberry in Ocala, Florida. Scroll down for recent photos and videos from Mayberry Farm.

Dear Judy.Such sad scenes from Paris as Notre Dame Cathedral burnt.It took 2 centuries to construct and 63 minutes to destroy.The facade and towers are safe though and they will rebuild.Thank God no lives were lost but 900yrs of history gone up in smoke.My thoughts are with the French people tonight.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX
Janie (in L.A.)
Such a pretty girl… but how can she not be with a mom like Zenyatta? Wishing Zellda all the best health, safety and happiness as she follows in her mom’s footsteps!

Horrible day for Paris and the world. Notre Dame Cathedral has withstood much upheaval and many wars, but efforts to repair and restore her have apparently resulted in destruction. So glad that the facade and bell-towers were saved along with much art work and irreplaceable relics. Thankfully there have been no deaths, and restoration can be achieved; although, 850+ years cannot be rebuilt.
Thoughts and prayers to all of France — we share your sadness.

Does anyone know if Zenyatta has been bred this year or is she officially retired from breeding? I love the queen but would like to see her bred one more time especially to a great stallion!

Surprised at this news.We all thought the Arc was her main target.Afraid of soft ground maybe?

Mike Smith has chosen Omaha Beach as his Derby horse! Yea, Mike! Jose Ortiz will be riding Tacitus and I think I read that Irad will be on Improbable.
I wonder who will ride Roadster now & who Johnny V will be on.
Sheena, Thank you for the link to Steve’s article on Winx. Wishing her a long and wonderful career as a mother. Maybe she will be bred to American Pharoah or Justify on one of their trips to Australia sometime in the future.
Dear Zenyatta, I am keeping you, Zellda, Coz & especially Ziconic in my prayers. I wish we would get some news on your red prince…

Dear Donna Z:

Thank you so much for the pictures of Zellda . She is so.beautiful looks a lot like her Mother especially those ears! Wish people on here would talk more about Zenyatta than the other horses they are chatting about. After all this is her web site! I believe there is another chat room made for other chats.
Love you Zellda please take care of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
