Happy Wednesday!
Last month we spent a morning with John Shirreffs and his crew at Belmont Park. We tagged along to watch Coz and Ziconic gallop and work on morning lessons. After bath time and treats from us the brothers even posed for a photo together. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for videos.
Enjoy!

How wonderful! Thank you Team Z!
When it comes to looks, Coz is all Zeny & Zi is Tapit’s boy. I’m sure they both have Zeny’s fire.
Looking forward to Zi’s first start.

This has really been a magnificent day. First I read that Pennmarydel, Barbaro’s ,youngest brother will be running in his FIRST race at Monmouth this Saturday. Then I had the honor and pleasure of seeing Comic One and Ziconic together. They are both absolutely precious. I also saw a few days ago that Coz had a posted workout. Hopefully he can indeed run a better race next time out. It looked like Ziconic is starting to get the hang of it and possibly we can see him in his FIRST race either the end of this summer or in early fall. (Cross your fingers)!!! Also hugs to Mom Zenyatta. Thank you so much Team Z for all you do.

Have been waiting a long time for Penn to race. He is a beautiful animal and looks so much like Barbaro. Just a bigger version. So happy his team has been patient with him. Can’t wait to see the video of the race. Safe trip to this big guy!

What a treat to see the two Princes together! Cozmic One doesn’t resemble the cute little foal he was anymore, does he? He has his Mother’s height and color, but otherwise looks a lot like his father, Bernardini. Very, very handsome guy! Very regal-looking. Ziconic doesn’t have his brother’s height, but BOY does he have the muscles! All over! It’s getting so his beautiful red coat looks stretched over his withers he’s so big in the shoulders and chest! I am happy to see Zi has inherited Zenny’s ( and another red horse’s) goofy streak. The play session with Mario was too cute! And, of course, the posing for Grandma’s camera. I think Zi could have stayed and posed all day for her.

Wow Team Z — this is a really special treat!!!
Thank you so much.
I love the photos but the videos really let me see how tall Ziconic is compared to Coz and as someone already said, the former is Tapit’s boy alright with Zenny’s heart and her “dancing ways” it would seem. Coz really does look exactly like Zenny. It’s uncanny. Especially when he galloped by…it was Zenny all over again for me.
It’s just so great to be able to accompany “les boys” as they learn, develop and grow. I feel blessed.

Thank you for sharing. This was so wonderful to watch! Just love those beautiful boys and their mother:)

In the second video, when Coz came close to Ziconic, Ziconic reacted. He opened his mouth wide to tell Coz not to bite him. What great handling and care of Z’s boys.
Many thanks to Team Zenyatta, the Mosses, Sherriffs, and everyone who works for them.
I am sure that Ann Moss is sharing videos with them of their mom and vice versa. Zenny must be so happy that her boys are doing well. And the boys are glad to see mom’s pictures.

WOW! The pics and videos are spectacular! The two brothers are so different! I love how Zi looks directly into the camera while Coz gives the sly eye!
I really think they both look like their daddy’s!
Mary Darden McLeod
What a spectacular posting! I am so very proud to be a member of Zenyatta Nation and, therefore, one of many GodmotherZ to these two handsome guys. I see whose eye is looking straight at the camera in the second photo of the two of them together. Yes, CoZ does look like Our Queen spat him out, and Ziconic looks like a bright copper Tapit. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team John Shirreffs, Team Zenyatta, CoZ, and Ziconic for sharing with us.
Love to All,
Mary in Boone

Beautiful photos of Z’s colts! Thanks for sharing!
Marty R / Colorado
These photos and videos were absolutely worth the wait. I really didn’t think the two could be so close together. Loved seeing Mario, too. It’s been so long. Coz appeared calmer. Maybe Belmont suits him better than Santa Anita. Loved Ziconic with the towel..fun guy. Thank you all so much.
Fran Harrington
Thank you soooo much!! Much love to Queen Z!!

That was such a treat to see today. Zenny’s two boys together. Thank you so much.
Looks like it is a beautiful day at Belmont.
Kalar Walters
Thank you! Thank you! They both look great!
Amber
Do Ziconic and Cozmic One get to gallop together in the morning, or are they at too different points in their training?
Melann Johnston
OMG!! Brother meeting!! Zi is so much smaller than Coz. He will grow soon enough!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful family with us!! Love these boys!! Can’t wait to see Zi on the track!! They both look amazing. Nice to see Mario with Ziconic, that was a treat!! I know how much he loved Zenyatta!!
Deb E.
I have a feeling Zi is going to grow sideways (muscles) instead of up. I’d guess he’ll end up around 16’2 hands which is very good.
Nancy J. Osmundsen
What a wonderful opportunity to glimpse Zenyatta’s princes at Belmont during a family visit. Thank you to the Mosses, John Shirreff and staff and Kyle Acebo for such a generous peek into Ziconic and Cozmic One’s world! They are such amazing horses
and each stunning in his own way.
Suz CATX
Those two are just perfect like their mom. It is so special that all of can enjoy watching Queen Z’s grow up. Many thanks Team Z for sharing all for us fans to love and enjoy.

I truly love Zenyatta’s boys. They are both stunning!!!!
