Zenyatta’s boys are at Saratoga with John Shirreffs. They’re enjoying the greenery and beautiful weather. Scroll down for a quick video of Ziconic in his stall.
Team Z, we are truly blessed. Thank you! I love the photos and Zi is so cute mouthing and pulling at the leather on the video! What is not to love; both Coz and Zi are so gorgeous.
hugs, Sally B
Ziconic is such a beauty, and so playful. I adore him. And Coz just makes me melt. Whenever I look at him, I remember seeing him, only minutes old, with Ann down in the straw with him. Makes me cry hehe…. :-)
What a way to start the weekend! Love the pictures of the handsome boys. Makes me smile knowing that Zenyatta’s boys are in John’s care and bunking so close together. Love to Zenyatta and family.
Zenyatta has certainly produced three beautiful individuals. For some reason, Ziconic has been my favorite since the day I first set eyes on him. He is so much like his mom, even to her dance moves. With Zenyatta as his mom, and Tapit as his dad, he certainly is royalty. Seeing, as the farm said, that he really liked working, and it seemed he has the idea of racing (video of him training with another horse) I wonder if John will try him racing earlier, so he might be in the classic races next year? By this video, with him playing with the lead, it looks like he wants to go. What a character! I see a lot of fun for us all in the future, both with his talent, and his ways, just like his mom; continuing THE DANCE!!
Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos from Saratoga with the fun video of Ziconic! It is such a beautiful area for these talented young colts to spend time in and enjoy. It is a great treat that you are continuing to share the lives of these budding track stars with us as we all adore them and our Queen, Zenyatta. Thank you!!
Life is complicated, no doubt about it. We start something and it leads us into something else-and that into another thing, and we ask, “How did this happen?”
On the other hand, we wouldn’t like it any better if we were confined to a treadmill that goes and goes but gets nowhere. It is life lived at a time when order as we once knew it, is nonexistent.
It helps to go back to where we started and take each bend and turn and change things-even if we have to admit we were wrong and ask someone to forgive us. All is not lost, and it helps to admit we made moves that were wrong. And even against our most selfish nature-begin to make them right.
Do not wrong or hate your neighbor; for it is not he that you wrong: You wrong yourself.

Woo-hoo!!!England have regained the ashes at Trent Bridge in the 4th test!Won by an innings and 78 runs!It’s a (sort of)friendly rivalry with Australia since the 19th century when a satirical obituary was written in the Sporting Times about the death of English cricket.No one knows exactly what was cremated but the ashes were sent to Australia and the whole series started.Huge congratulations to Alastair Cook and the boys!Sheena.
Dear Kathy.Yes,all the furbabies I’ve visited are well too.Saw the pic of the blonde mafia!

Thanks to Team Z for the pictures and video. The Red Prince is certainly a character. Coz looks very regal and handsome and Zi looks as if he is full of mischief. Beautiful sons of a beautiful mom.
Wow! So glad I checked in. Coz resembles Zenny in many ways…those fantastic ears. And Zi, well is a darling off the track, and all business on the track also like you know who.
A double-heart birthday today! ❤ HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a first-class lady, Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs! Racing is lucky to have you, so is Zenyatta, and so are we! Wishing you joy today and always! And ❤ HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mike Smith, one of racing’s truly good guys, rider end human being extraordinaire! We love you both!

Well, but look at the “head’s up” you’ve given us :-). We can all be composing some birthday wishes in advance.
