Can’t get Royal Mo and his connections out of my mind and heart. No amount of “logic” seems to work on erasing the IT’S NOT FAIR thoughts. John doesn’t have that many super stars – to lose Mo’s potential is just devastating. Power up RM! Hope all is going well there at New Bolton. I haven’t heard anything more than they were “on the way.” Hope we’ll see some updates soon.

Happy Mother’s Day Zenyatta. You are my sports heroine!!! Mollie

Uncle Mo rehabbed at Winstar in 2011 when he had his stomach issues. Now his son is going there for treatment. They will have to rename that place: MoTown.

Good news for Royal Mo as we all used to say in the past “Power Up Mo”. Hope all goes well and he’s got a good future as a stud.
Zenny wish we could put your darling baby in a plastic bubble till she grows up, but I guess that’s not possible. I just pray she stays safe. So good to see beautiful Ann with her favorite girl, I bet she was so excited to get there.
Can’t wait for more pics and a video, thank you for posting these. love to all sue

My heart goes out to the Mosses and all the connections. What a week of ups and downs. The blessing of a new baby girl for Zenny and then Royal Mo’s injury. I am feeling optimistic that everyone will stay healthy and Mo’s recovery will go well. Such a shame that he couldn’t show his potential.
Thanks for the darling pictures!

Absolutely nothing makes me happier than to see our beloved Zenyatta (The Queen) with her filly. She is a true spiritual being who continues to amaze, inspire and bring peace and love to all who know her. I pray this wee filly thrives and reaches her full potential and that our Zenny remains as happy and healthy as she is today…for a very
looooooooooooong time.
Sally Blank (cherishes Z and her foals)
My heart and prayers go out to Royal Mo. One will never know what kind of champ he could be. Stud duties are not such a bad thing Royal Mo!
love to all, especially Ann Moss

Beautiful baby!! Zenyatta is such a good mommy! She sure does loves motherhood! Hope all goes well with Mo. Heart breaking. Hope this little girl takes some of the pain away. John and Dottie and all the team must be heart broken. In my thoughts and prayers.

It is so wonderful to see these lovely photos of Zenny and her little girl! Probably, like the rest of you, I’ve looked at them several times. We (my husband and I) have been pruning trees and bushes on our place since last week, and we finally finished yesterday ~ Yay! I love working outside. We hadn’t done it for several years, so it was more ‘fun’ that usual. Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday. It’s so exciting to think what’s ahead for Zenny and her beautiful new filly! Also, looking forward to updates about Coz and Ziconic. with love, Elizabeth

Willie Mullins has announced his star mare Annie Power is to retire.Although expected this news comes with a tinge of sadness.One of the greatest NH mares in the modern era she leaves the stage with a record of 15 wins out of 17 runs.She hasn’t been seen on the racecourse for over a year and after talking with the Riccis over the weekend time was called on her stellar career.Now in foal to Camelot we all wish her well in her new role as a mum but we NH fans will sorely miss you Annie and never forget your fabulous Champion Hurdle win last year.Love SheenaX
Ann NC
Happy retirement Beautiful Girl. Long happy life full of love!
Marshall (NC Broad)
Ditto what Ann NC said.
Best wishes to Annie Power!
