Dear fans,
Zenyatta has been enjoying Kentucky summer. Bath time is her favorite, and she’s pampered regularly by her friends at Lane’s End Farm.
We have a special announcement that we’re so pleased to share—Zenyatta is currently in foal, carrying a Candy Ride filly. Over the years we’ve seen how happy she is with a foal by her side, and we can’t wait to share this journey with you.
Scroll down for more new photos and videos from Alys.

Wonderful news. I was wondering when she was going to be bred again. I’m guessing Lanes End and the Shireffs wanted to be sure all was well before making this announcement.
Zenyatta looks great.
Here’s to a healthy filly and smooth delivery! Zenyatta loves her foals and I know she will be very happy to be a Mom again

So happy to see this; and a filly, too! I love seeing Zenyatta with her babies. She looks lovely. Mama Z…love just thinking about it. I enjoyed the TVG short video they made showing Zenyatta in her paddock. Of course someone posted the video of Z Princess and I had to watch it again; so sad but Zenyatta and her little Princess were so beautiful together in that tribute you can’t help but watch in awe. But, enough of that; happy times are here again! Woohoo! Hugs to all.

Happy news coming one right after the other—Zellda’s birthday, Ziconic’s first jumps (he looks wonderful), and now Zenny’s pregnancy. We will pray for a healthly waiting time, a smooth delivery and the presence of a new princess. Thanks for sharing all these events and celebrations. We love our Queen so very much.

Wonderful news and videos. Zenyatta looks so good. It’s nice to see her looking trim and healthy. I’ve never seen her tail so long and full. The time off agreed with her. Xoxo Zenny.

Wishing Jezki a long and happy retirement.He will join Istabraq and the gang at Martinstown.Sad we were reminded of Our Conor’s fatal fall in the 2014 race though.

Dear Sheena,
Happy retirement, Jezki! Hope you have a long healthy life with Istabraq and company at Martinstown. Well done brave boy!
Yes, it is sad that we lost Our Conor — five years have passed, and he is missed. RIP
Hugs and Love

Oh Zenyatta! I am so happy you are expecting a foal, especially a filly. I will be praying your pregnancy goes well and that you will have a new princess at your side next year. I am so excited, I will be watching for updates.

Great news. Thank you so very much for the photos and videos.
Zenny, you are gorgeous.
Little filly, am calling you Ticket To Ride, after my fav Beatle’s hit song!
Stay cool kids.

Dear Ann:
Cute name for the little girl. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Ann and Judy,
Ticket to Ride, very cute! ☺️
Wonder what happened to Tasty Temptation’s Candy Ride foal — anyone have any clue? Sad to say I don’t remember. It was by CR, wasn’t it? I seem to remember that she rejected her baby. Apologies if I have it mixed up.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
TT’s colt by Candy Ride is I’myoursugardaddy. Does anyone know his whereabouts? Just wondering what happened to him — the last I could find was he finished 3rd in a race at Delaware Park in August, 2015.
Thanks!
Hugs and Love

Dear Marshall:
Sugar was retired from racing about two or three years ago. The people that helped in getting him posted on the Forum that he is located in CA on a farm that is part of the Boys Republic School in Chino Hills. I don’t know if he is still there. Will check the Forum to see if there are any recent updates on him. He is precious as he is the only offspring of lovely TT. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
Thank you for the info on Sugar. I do hope he is loved and enjoying a happy life. I totally agree that he is precious as the only offspring of our adored and missed TT. Whenever Candy Ride is mentioned, Tasty Temptation always comes to mind — she was so very special. TT was such a devoted friend to Zenyatta, and now there is another bond. I do hope and pray that Z will have a smooth term and safe delivery of a wonderful healthy baby.
Hugs and Love
Mary Jane
Zenyatta looks wonderful and as regal as ever. Happy to hear the news that there’s a filly on the way. Here’s hoping for healthy, uneventful, pregnancy and delivery for our queen. Thank you to Team Z for keeping us in the loop. It’s always a joy to see our queen!

Thank you, TEAM Z and ALYS, for giving us this fantastic news update and for the wonderful (as always) photos and videos of a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Zenyatta enjoying a gorgeous bluegrass summer day!
Can I have the job of bathing her? Or even just using the squeegee?
I’ll pay you to do it!

Thanks for this post, Sheena! It is good to start the week with “Hovey Smiles”.
Hovis looks great! He always manages to be amusing and yet still appear so dignified. ? I think he does his “camera persona” in keeping with his public image. Really would have liked to see him doing his running/bucking routine! Thank you to Mum Karen, too.
Hugs and Love

Dear Sheena:

It is every owner’s dream to own one great champion racehorse but just extraordinary to have 4 run in your colours.Prince Khalid Abdulla is the lucky man.
