Today concludes our second week of foal watch. We must admit that we arrived a little early! Zenyatta has kept us waiting, but she’s showing signs that it won’t be too much longer. As always, we’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.
We also have a little update on Ziconic from John and Dottie. They say he is doing quite well following his March 25th race. He’s been getting lots of gate practice and learning to be comfortable in small spaces. We can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
Scroll down for photos from the last few days at Lane’s End.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the update! I anxiously look at my computer every chance I can get! Zenyatta certainly has the most expressive ears, doesn’t she? Happily spoiled!
Praying for safe birth – for baby and mama.

Been checking every day :) Thanks for the update! Also appreciate the update on Ziconic I am a huge fan and see that he might run like his mother if he gets his focus on point.

Zenny wanted her human parents, the Mosses, to stay longer with her. Who could blame her, she’s their big girl.
She’s the Queen of Kentucky and of all of our hearts.

It makes me so happy to see you there with her. She loves you so much and I’m sure she is relaxed and confident–the perfect attitude for an expectant mama!
Stephanie Adamson
Always worth the wait. Prayer for both?

You didn’t arrive too early – Zenyatta just wanted to spend lots of quality time with her mom and dad… I’m glad to hear she’s showing signs that it may not be too much longer.
And thanks for the Ziconic update too!
Deb E.
Looks like Mom and Dad are anxious, too! They can’t wait to meet their newest “grandkid”. Neither can we!

This baby must be mighty special if she’s holding on to it for this long.
Nancy
Sheesh! Extra time with Zenyatta–such a burden! I think she just wants you around and is going to surprise you when you least expect it.

Anne B
She looks good but not quite ready. I had calendared either today or tomorrow, the 6th, as her due date, based on her foaling last year. I think she foaled on day 350 last year which is today, but was giving her the benefit of the doubt for one day extra. Guess we’ll see if I was right! I really appreciate the Mosses and Lane’s End for keeping us posted – we do love our Zenny!

I meant 2 years ago when she foaled Z14
Crystal Harrison
I am glad that Ziconic is getting lots of gate training but I honestly think that bird scared him! Let’s hope he never has that happen to him again. Then we can see him run like the wind!
Prayers for both Zenyatta and Violet Rose.
Mary
Thank you for the latest update. I’m so excited. Praying for a safe delivery. Love to all

Marcia Hadley
Dear Zenyatta, April 8th was my dear sister’s Birthday.
She died on Christmas morning two years ago. She was sitting at her
table having morning coffee before going out to feed her mare, Flicka.
I know Joyce loved you , and we shared foal watches when you had Coz, and Ziconic.
So, she’s watching from Heaven for this little baby.

Dear Marcia:
So sorry for the loss of your beloved sister. I’m sure she is watching from Heaven. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Team Z, Lane’s End and Kyle:
Thank you for more lovely photos of Z. That second photo (could just be shadows), but looks like an outline of the foal; the baby might be getting ready to to move into foaling position. Can’t wait to see Z16.
Thank you too for the update on Ziconic. Hope COZ will be making his next start soon too. Love and Hugs to all of you, JB

Yes, it has. Love and Hugs, JB

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on Zenyatta and her family. Glad that Ziconic came out of his race well and is getting lots of practice in the gate. I do hope to hear news of Coz as well. I do hope he continues to mature and get himself into the family business. Safe delivery for precious Zenyatta and her foal. Keeping my fingers crossed for a beautiful bay filly.
Gloria
Ahh, the waiting is killing me! Haha! Great pictures as always. I’m glad to hear Ziconic is doing well and getting gate practice. I hope I can see him race again soon. Take care, Team Z. We fans anxiously await to hear of Baby Z’s arrival.
