Happy Thursday!
Zenyatta and her Tapit colt have new paddock mates at Lane’s End. Alys snapped the first photo of the group, and we’ll post some more once the little ones get to know each other.
We have an video interview to share today. Dr. Holder, who was present at the April 1st foaling, met up with us at Lane’s End the following day to talk about Zenyatta. You’ll also see a sneak peak of our footage from the night of the foaling—there’s more of that to come along with our next round of video interviews!
Enjoy!

Had it not been for a fellow Dumpling sending me a heads up, there’s no telling when I would have found this! What a marvelous video and pictures. Thanks you so much, Team LE. It is just as Ann Moss has said, “She (Zenyatta) does everything perfectly.” We are so thankful for her ( and Z13’s) continued good health, especially after the ordeal that Rachel has been through. I just love sharing everything “Z” with friends.

Dr. Holder; Thank you so much for taking such good care of precious Zenyatta. She is irreplaceable!! Z is one of a kind, my once in a lifetime horse. Team Z and Alys, I absolutely loved the pictures and video. 13z is a sweetheart about to have fun with a playmate soon.
LovenKisses on Z’s soft nose; some for Coz and 13z too.

A HUGE thank you for everyone responsible for the new pictures and the video!
A day without Zenyatta and “Blaze” updates “is like a day without sunshine” for me!!!!!!
I wish Zenny knew how many of us there are and how much we all love and adore her.
Carole Hagstrom
I’m so grateful she is so healthy after her birthing, and the baby is beautiful. Look at those legs he has !
Elaine
Thank you so much for all the updates and pictures…she is truly amazing.
Nancy
Thanks so much for the wonderful video! Thanks to you, Dr. Hopper, for taking such good care of her and her foal. I agree that because of the ordeal Rachel went through, we tend to watch the foaling of every mare even more so now. We hope and pray Rachel gets well and continued good health to Zenyatta, Cozmic One and Z13!
Nancy
Oops, I apologize for misspelling your name, Dr. HOLDER! Trust me, I was thinking “Holder” and typed “Hopper.” So sorry!

Thank you Dr Holder for taking such awesome care of Zenyatta and her sons. We appreciate the attention and stellar medical care you give her. Her Tapit colt is breathtaking! ( as is her yearly CoZmic one)

Liddy is so very smart.

Pati. She may be bringing in Gus and Bubba as reinforcements. Those two young ones look like a handful.

Thank you, Judy B.
Mikey on WTC could prove to be some big competition for Orb. WTC gave him some in the Derby before running into that roadblock Verrazano.
Orb is looking great!
Linda Shull
Thanks for the info. She and baby are beautiful and obviously well taken care of and always will be.

What a treat…new photos and a video with Dr. Holder who has been working with our Queen since she arrived at LE. Isn’t she just perfection? Dr. Holden is just another who has come under her spell and realizes when he is in the presence of greatness.
To the Mosses and LE…this site is such a joy. Thank you for sharing so much with us.
Lou in Tx
Thank you soo much for keeping us informed about the Queen Z and both of her colts. They are all so special to us. Thank you to the Mosses and Lane’s End for letting us be a part of their lives. You are as special as Zenyatta. Lou in Tx

Hello All; I have left a couple messages at the Zenyatta Shop News in regards to my Birthday wishes and Trina!
Terry and Sue F. left you a message in regards to the word Turkey at Zenyatta Shop News. (haha)
News at bloodhorse indicates the closing of Hollywood Park after the last race Dec 22 of this year. I have never been there but this is sad to lose Zenyatta’s former home.
I LOVE YOU ZENYATTA!! Goodnight and sweet dreams; with 13z too
Coz, have a magical eve
lovenkisses, Auntie Sally B
Terry Crow
Sally-That is interesting. I picked turkey because that is one of my nicknames. I don’t think it is meant to be complimentary.
Sally B. (cherish Z- Wi.)
Terry; I know what you are talking about. ha I just thought I’d toss in a bit of humor as most of us up here in Wisconsin usually look out for deer! The passenger watches and if one is seen yells “DEER”. This time Sue F. yelled “TURKEY” as it suddenly flew up striking their vehicle. I know her husband never expected to hear that in a million years. ha

Sandy (Northeast Ohio) PUR, PUJ
Many thanks to Alys, LE staff, Team Z, and Dr. Holder for so many things – great pictures, a promise of more video to come, taking the time to give a thoughtful and interesting interview, and all of your efforts to keep us in the loop with our dear Zenny and her guys. The little red prince just gets cuter every day, and as others have said, he sure seems to know where the camera is. I miss seeing Coz and his playmates, but . . . time to move on to a new set I guess. This is a lovely treat.
Jan S. / Houston
Thank you so much for the pictures of Zenny, 13Z & her new friends. Can never get enough of Mama & her gorgeous boys. And thanks Dr. Holder for taking care of our
Queen & her prince’s. A fellow Texan. YEAH!
Terry Crow
Well, I’ve got a couple of “related” redneck jokes and a sad announcement. You might be a redneck if your mother’s cell number has nothing to do with a telephone. You might be a redneck if you have the word “howdy” in your telephone answering machine message. As for the sad announcement, the TVG guys just stated that they have information indicating that December 22 will the the last racing date at Hollywood Park.
Sally B. (cherish Z- Wi.)
Terry, funny!! I once left my message saying I was workin in the back forty so I was unable to get the phone at this time. ( I actually lived on a lake with 2 acres in the back.) My boys don’t have to worry cause I don’t have no cell but a track phone no.
I think I really am a redneck!! haha
Glad you are here again; but I think Sue F. and I as receiving the receipent award of entitlement to medicare better not mud wrestle any more. Perhaps we could see how many mud balls are thrown and hit one another, or horse apples. I can bring plenty of them!!!

My statements may be inappropriate at this time of rejoicing in these awesome pictures and having Dr. Holtons wonderful assessment of Z, but it was directed to Terry for fun.

Terry Crow
That’s the way it was taken.

Dear TC GP:
Sad new about Hollywood Park. I’m still hoping something will happen to save it.
You really had me laughing with the cell phone joke. Thanks for brightening my day. Hugs, JB
Terry Crow
The State of California could possibly have saved Hollywood Park by granting it a license to have slot machines there. No dice, Indians are more important. This is the first death knell for racing in California.
Ann NC
Howdy TC.
Thanks for the jokes.
Talkin turkey!
Terry Crow
Good one, Ann

Thank you LE team and the Mosses for giving us glimpses of Z’s life as a broodmare. So often these great mares lapse into obscurity. It is wonderful that we can continue on with our love affair with the queen of racing. Looking at z13 in this video convinces me once and for all that he will remain chestnut.
HeidiK Vallejo,Ca (In Awe)
Wooohoooo!!!! Loved the interview and the new pics. Zapit has a new playmate. Can’t wait to see pics and video of the colts interacting. Thank you so much all of Team Z!!
Marty R / Colorado
What a wonderful surprise this is, meeting Zenyatta’s Dr. and getting his opinion of her from the get go. A perfect lady, indeed.
Zenyatta looks completely at ease with the other mare, I wonder if they were together before? It looks like 13 Z wants to scope things out a bit before he gets too close. They all look just wonderful.
Thank you to everyone involved for keeping us up to date with the events in Zenyatta and 13Z’s lives. Looking very forward to more pictures and interviews.
Donna Craver Fredericksburg, VA
Thank you Lanes End team & Dr. Holder for all your care of our favorite mother & her two sons.(both are just amazing.!!!) I just wait from one posting to the next to see all the changes in the two kids. It always makes my day. Zenyatta looks great . Love her so much!
Leslie R.
What a wonderful surprise! Thank you for the pics and video!!! I enjoyed the interview with Dr. Holder. Zenyatta really is amazing!
Hugs to all,

She still has those dapples the size of apples. STUNNING! Her colt is gorgeous too. Looks like she snuck in Curlin’s stall lol. Hope Malibu Moon is next on the list.

dear team Z thank you so much for the the video of dr holder .he said what we alreadyknow that Zenyatta is perfect!!!sooo glad to see little red out with his paddock buddies and Z looks utterly beautiful thank you ALL for sharing her with us love and hugs sheena
Paula Higgins
Love the photos and video!!! Thank you so much. She is such an incredibly level headed horse. I think her vet is a hoot and glad he has so much experience.
Shannon Pugh
As always thanks so much for keeping us informed and the wonderful pictures of the beloved Queen Z and her beautiful son!!! Life just would not be worth anything without horses! =D
tony
Zenny, I had to chuckle to myself hearing your vet say you are quite a “lady”. Your fans always knew you were special and hearing Dr. Holder’s words only reinforces that you are a once in a lifetime horse. And, your princes will be something very special, too.
