Happy Friday!

For nearly three weeks now, Cozmic One has been able to call John Shirreffs’ barn at Belmont home. He’s settling into a relaxed training schedule, where he is permitted to learn and grow at his own pace.

We welcomed him off the truck from Ocala, FL at the end of March and met up with John and the crew at Barn 41 again yesterday. We hope you can share in our experience through the photos and videos below.

Enjoy!
-Team Z

    He’s the spitting image of Zenyatta…I hope he’ll race in the triple crown. Maybe he will be the one to break the 36 year drought…

    Hi!

    I just love watching these videos of Coz; there are just not enough, of course.

    I am so eager to watch his first race. When will that be?

    Is he a late bloomer as Zenyatta was?

    He is so beautiful.

    Where are the videos of Zenyatta and her baby girl?

    Thank you!

    Zenyattas babies get better looking with each one. Well, at least muscle development. :) they get more buffed with each foal. The filly looks like she was on steroids in the womb lol.

    CoZZy is absolutely beautiful. I see alot of the Queen and alot of his Beautiful Daddie in him. The Star, The Ears, he is magnificent. I have read that he is a wild thang, but in these photos, he looks like to ‘the good child’. Best of luck, CoZZy, your Aunt Lisag loves ya.
