John and Dottie sent us these photos of Coz having fun at Belmont. The box he opened was a gift from students at Westgate Middle School. Thank you Homeroom 215!
All these people remember him now, but when he starts losing races, the owners will get rid of him like they do all the others so sad what happens to these horses.
Thank you Team Z for these great pictures of Coz. He is spectacular. It is so exciting that he and Ziconic are both with John at Belmont Park.
The news of Zenyatta/War Front is fantastic news. Can’t wait til next year to see the new baby.
Has anyone heard any news about Rachel Alexandra’s second foal, the filly? I have seen updates about Jess’s Dream, but haven’t heard anything about the filly who went to the nurse mare shortly after her birth.
The ‘nurse mare’ practice is one of the worst evils of TB and other registries. Do you know what becomes of the foals that are born to the ‘nurse mares?’ Go to the site of Last Chance Corral, to see the dozens of “orphans on purpose” that are now trying to find homes, or escape slaughter. I feel sure that TB dams, including Zenyatta or Rachel Alexandra, would love to nurse their own foals.
You are looking great, Coz. I love that you are connected with the class and they are able to learn about the beauty and majesty of the thoroughbred horse. Have you seen your little brother? I would love it if you were stabled so you could see each other. I think somehow you would sense that you share something special. Tell brother ZI that we also want some photos of him. You are both handsome colts and the future is bright for you.
especially Zi and Coz, google ” youtube gamely stakes gr I monday may25 2015 hd ” , quiet race of big herd of horses, course isnt dry hard, lil soft, when all jockeys give some seconds of time to herd for to choose quick horses after break, when all jockeys dont cut way of other horses to left and keep safe distance to forward hind and horses at sides, when horse in second row rest first row near left fence for hind horses,,,,, big herd of horses comparatevely safe breeze race by theyselves,,,,, Victor can one second to watch on hind horse on gallop, see his moving after race, :-) learning film for all horses :-)
I guess sometimes it is better not knowing, but I promised that I would try and discover if the rumor of Vertigineux’s death was true or not. I have just received confirmation from Coolmore America that Vertigineux has passed. Rest in Peace Vertigineux.
Me too.! May her soul rest in Peace. She will definitely be missed.It’s like her life came full circle after she gave birth to a full sibling of the Queen. I just don’t believe she is gone! Peace.
This is very sad news . I really feel someone was remiss in not making this known publicly. She was important to racing because of her progeny and was recognized as Broodmare of the Year. I really expect that Zenyatta will also be honored with that title at some time. RIP Vertigineux. You mattered.
Oh, thank you for this Friday treat. Photos of Cozmic One having fun. How wonderful that these children and their teacher were so thoughtful to send him presents. Will you share with your brother and other roomies at the barn?
Ahhh…those photos are just too, too cute! What a handsome and fun lad that Coz is! :)
Thanks for this post of pics. Nice way to start the weekend. Have a great and safe weekend all of you out there in the Zenyatta Nation! xoxoxo
Those pics are too cute!!! Coz definitely has a sense of humor. It is nice seeing him having fun. He’s so beautiful! Thanks John, Dottie and Team Z for sharing the pics!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Hugs to all,
Leslie
Thanks for the photos and thanks to the children for sending the package. So cute. Our boy is having a little fun and not worrying about that dismal first race. Boys just want to have fun!
I love you lots and lots, Cozmic One! Be a happy, playful boy when you’re not working at being a serious student in training.
Sending love to momma Z and Zi.
Dear Judy.I have been thinking of Lola Mae all day and thought we would have got some news.I pray all went well this morning for her and she will soon be home with you.Take great care of yourselves.Goodnight and God bless you both plus all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX
Hi Zenyatta and Coz I just saw this and will show the children on Monday. Oh are they going to be excited. We all love Coz and Zenyatta. I will introduce them to Ziconic too. Have a wonderful weekend. Sending a lot of love from 170 5th graders and one horse crazy Teacher.
Yes I agree. Wish the racing world was informed of the loss of this great dam formally and with respect to her. She will always be remembered for blessing us with the bringer of joy……Zenyatta!!
Thank you John and Dottie for these great and fun photos. It seems like CoZ has quite the personality. He seems to be enjoying Belmont Park. Yippee, Belmont Park is right in my backyard. Looking forward to his next race.
If you folks ever need a babysitter let me know. I would be no more than happy to hang out with CoZ and Ziconic and give you a weekend off.
Dear Sheena, Thank You so much for the Birthday Wishes. Had such a busy day at work today so I said i’m just going to celebrate saturday. Love those birthdays.

Her filly is in Saratoga. She is not named yet but had her first published work. She has a heart on her for head. Very pretty girl
Azaria Cavasin
Rachel’s filly recently had her first work at Saratoga on May 25th – 3 furlongs in 38.25, rank 14/31. You can add her to your equibase stable, but she doesn’t yet have a name. Here’s her profile: http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Horse&refno=9491568®istry=T

Just heard from Judy. She has just brought Lola Home. Surgery Rescheduled for 6-6.
Emergencies all Day. She’s his first patient at 7.30 on the 6th.

Thank you, Peggy for this update about Lola Mae from Judy B. I pray for strength for them both. I just think this has to be draining for Judy.
Good luck to your boy, Night Prowler, in his race tomorrow.
I think I saw some birthday wishes for you on the previous blog. I hope it was a very happy day.
Love, Marty

What a great mare who gave us so much…..The great Vertigineaux

I agree, Maybe that’s why am having a hard time believing she is gone. She will always be remembered fondly. May her soul rest in perfect Peace.
