Dear Z Fans:
I found this seven minute video of Z from my local PBS station in Boston. Some of the footage we’ve seen before, but the beginning and the end of the video is from earlier this year. It aired Feb 23, 2023. You can see the baby bump.
What a gorgeous girl she is.
Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Judy,
Thanks so much for this PBS video! Ah, such wonderful memories of our Zenyatta!! This is a beautiful piece indeed. It does your heart good to watch her doing her “Z thing”!
I do hope all is well with her — getting more and more anxious as June approaches. Many prayers, much pacing and crossed fingers.
Hugs and Love 💕 💕 💕

RIP Discreet Cat.
The son of Forestry died from illness today at Darley Japan where he had lived since he was 14 — he was 20 years old. He won the Cigar Mile in 2000 and equaled the record time of 1:32 2/5 . Condolences to all connections.
Run free among the angels, sweet boy. 😢
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oops, correction:
Discreet Cat won the Cigar Mile in 2006 (not 2000).
The article was in Bloodhorse today.

Did Zenyatta have a foal this year?

Dear Cathleen S.,
Not that we know of — no updates have been shared here on Z’s blog.
Hope Z is well and that we get some news soon. 🙏
(Also, hope they post a photo of Zellda and her foal.)

So I’m wondering if Z had a foal this year. Tomorrow is June 1, 2023 and it’s hard to imagine that she will foal in June. If she foaled in May the Jockey Club rules for reporting a foaling are as follows:
Live Foal/No Foal Report (Mare Reports):
1. Reporting live foal information
This report must be filed no later than 30 days after the foaling date.
2. Reporting no foal information
This report must be filed no later than 30 days after the projected foaling date or in January if the Mare was not bred (mated).
Based on the above, if she did foal late in May, Lane’s End wouldn’t have to report the foaling to almost the end of June.
I hope we hear one way for the other soon. Regardless of the foal outcome my only concern is for the health of Zenyatta.
