Good Morning,
I hope each of you had a wonderful, restful, and peaceful holiday! This day is also a special time to remember all that MEMORIAL DAY truly represents as well.
Everything at the farm is going very, very well. I want to share with you the fabulous day I have had so far. This morning, my vets came to check me and… YES, I am eating for TWO! As of this morning, I have had what is technically called my ’60 day check-up’. I am happily IN FOAL! All is A-OK! My pregnancy is progressing nicely and the baby has a very strong heartbeat! YIPPEE!
I must say I am so excited and so are all of my Team and Family members! This is such terrific news! Bernie and I are going to be parents!
As is the Moss’ policy, we are not going be fetal-sexing to determine if the foal is a colt or filly. My owners never do this with any of their mares. Part of the fun, in their opinion, is the anticipation. We will wait and BE SURPRISED!
Now, I’m off to graze and enjoy the rest of the day! I’ll fill you in on more details as we go along! Thank you so much for all of your understanding and patience the last few months on this topic! I so appreciate your kindness and support!
I’m sending each of you a HIGH HOOF! IT IS TRULY A DAY OF GREAT HAPPINESS!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Zenny, CONGRATULATIONS to you and your Bernie as well as the Mosses and all of Team Z!
You look wonderful…love seeing you eating a snack as only you can do. Wink, Wink! Next year at this time you will have a foal at your side…no doubt you will be a spectacular MOM. Enjoy that bluegrass, the sunshine and all the love that surrounds you.

Yay, Zenyatta! I am going to hope for a FILLY–> I’m guessing an early March due date?

Oh, Zenyatta! I had a totally unexpected reaction to your wonderful, awesome, thrilling news—a torrent of tears, followed by lots of smiles! I know it is from being hugely relieved, more than anything else. I m so GLAD that you are okay, and that you have successfully made it to a very important gestational milestone! We understand that your team deliberately waited for this significant day before announcing the news, to spare us any possible disappointment or sadness. My hopes and prayers and best wishes will be with you every day until you deliver the filly or colt which will be met with world-wide affection, and which will command unprecedented interest! Not knowing the sex of the foal will keep the excitement running at a fever pitch. You, no doubt, will blossom gloriously, but some of your ardent fans may be suffering from cases of shredded nerves 10 months from now (but ecstatically happy!). MANY congratulations to the owners and trainer in-waiting, and to all of Team Z! God bless our precious Queen.

What wonderful news!! Congrates to you, Bernie, The Moses, and all your connections.

What a HAPPY post, and what a beautiful photo! The gorgeous Zennyatta in the lush Kentucky grass is such an idyllic scene. Thanks to Sarah Campion for sharing that with all of us. Thanks also to Dottie and Zenny’s “staff” for keeping us up-to-date with the news of the pregnancy.
Carol Lake
Well congratulations. I remember just how special it is finding out that you will soon be a mother. I wish you and your foal the best of health…and I know that he or she will be just as beautfiul as you are and will run like the wind.

I’m cheering hollering and clapping! A big HOOFRAY Z–I’m so excited for you. And I think it’ll be great to be surprised too–agree totally with fetal sexing.
Ok. We’re at 60 days–time to pull the vet books out and start checking things out. I’m excited to learn new things too as we go along.

FABULOUS news…it has just made my day…
@Terry B…dancing HAS begun in my office!
@Paula…I get teary eyed at every posting..it’s ridiculous to have so much affection for an animal I’ve never seen race live or never met the owners or trainer, but for some reason, I care deeply about them all…Zenyatta is just a gift from God.
Barbara Bowen
I am so happy for you Z! “Way to go girl!” We will pray for you to have a safe, happy, healthy pregnancy and birth, followed by a happy healthy foal!
