Zenyatta Delivers a Candy Ride Filly

Zenyatta and her Candy Ride filly. Alys Emson

VERSAILLES, KY — (May 17, 2020) Zenyatta gave birth to a chestnut filly by Candy Ride this morning at Lane’s End Farm. The foal, Zenyatta’s sixth, arrived at 5:40 a.m. ET, weighing 148 lbs. She has one hind sock and a star.

Zenyatta and her filly are both in excellent health following an easy delivery. It brings us such joy to see them bonding in their paddock on this beautiful day.

We would like to express a sincere thank you to Zenyatta’s veterinary team and staff at Lane’s End for their dedication to the wellbeing of Zenyatta and her new foal.

    Zenyatta, thank you for giving this newest Z filly in May to us. We are all smiles about the news that you are fine and your little one-who is not so little- is fine. Thank you Team Z and especially Alys for these wonderful pictures. You knew we would all just love to see Zenny getting into dance mode on this special occasion and you caught it for us. Stay healthy everyone. Guess it’s time for me to change my sign off to Z6z hugs, DMCQ

    Is she going to be bred again after this foal?
    Is Liam’s map and option because it could then be called Zen yada yada lol. (Look at his pedigree to get it)
    Also curious if there are other stallions in mind already or rebreeding?

    What a gorgeous pair they are ! Zenny is such a wonderful, loving mom–so happy she had an easy time of it.

    Love that the filly is red–shades of our precious Zi, one of the most magnificent boys ever !!

    Thanks to all for sharing the news and beautiful photos with us–we are truly blessed to be able to continue to share in Zenyatta’s life. Love to her, the incredible little filly, and all connections !!

      Dear Sue,

      I agree totally with everything you wrote! Z and baby girl are so beautiful — love the little chestnut. She does remind me of Ziconic (aka Z-Z now). I hope she has a long happy life, bless her!

      So good to see a post from you. Hope things are going well in Sun Valley. How are Barnaby, Traveller and Boss Sue?

      Stay well and keep in touch!

      Hugs and Love
