VERSAILLES, KY — (April 20, 2014) It’s a girl! Zenyatta’s third foal was born last night at Lane’s End Farm. The bay filly by War Front arrived at 12:03 am, just in time for Easter. She has one white sock and a blaze.
The foaling, Zenyatta’s third in three years, went smoothly. In attendance were Zenyatta’s owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, Dr. Holder from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, as well as Farm Manager Mike Cline, Broodmare Manager Charles Campbell, and others from Lane’s End Farm. The Mosses are overjoyed to welcome the latest member of Zenyatta’s family. The loving mother and full-of-life foal enjoyed a beautiful and sunny Easter day.
Zenyatta has previously delivered colts by Bernardini and Tapit. Cozmic One, born in 2012, is now in training at Mayberry Farm in Ocala, FL. Ziconic, the recently-named chestnut colt by Tapit, is a yearling under the care of Lane’s End Farm.
Thanks to the Zenyatta fans who have kept watch, posted comments, and sent good wishes!

Just perfect. So much a mom’s girl. Morning Lily. You are sure to follow in your mom’s steps. Dance sweet girl, dance.

You know The Police’s Album was called Zenyatta Mondatta. Wonder if Ann and Jerry might consider the later for Baby Z’s name.
Oh my goodness, all the posibilities.

Baby Z14 seems in her initial photo with mom to have the same presence and alertness as mom. Or is it my imagination? The similarities are stunning. What a great picture. Zenyatta never ceases to amaze me. First, on the racetrack and now, in the breeding shed. How can one female thoroughbred be so gifted? And so kind to all? Thank you, God.
Terri Holliday
How Beautiful!! She looks like her mother!!!
And, Mrs. Moss is something else!! Really! Talk about hands on……… … very inspiring……..
Thank you for sharing…….!
Donna Olinger
What a great Easter present, better that a chocolate bunny and jelly beans for sure !!!
Zenyatta and War Front have made a beautiful little filly !!! She is gorgeous……. just like her mother. So glad that Zenyatta did well with the deliver and had no complications.
Congratulations on a beautiful baby girl !!!!

Feeling sentimental – just watched the 2009 Breeder’s Cup (for the millionth time!) – smiles, tears, chills and dreaming about the future of her foals – especially this little Princess! LOL

For the millionth time? You are two ahead of me.

April 22 Cherokee Devotional
In the seventeen hundreds, the Natchez mother of a young chief suspected he had become involved in a conspiracy and was being used by his elders to do wrong. She said, “Open your ears and listen to me. I have always taught you not to lie.”Liars are lost in a world of their own making. We have seen it glamorized in a world of make believe until the real world has difficulty telling the truth, even when there is no need to lie. Even the little white lies thought so harmless are barriers, wrongs, that stand in the way of honor. A lie, in whatever form, is deceit, and deceit is a major block to answered prayer, to friendship, to stable lives. The biggest lie of all is that lying is in any way harmless. Truth sees through the thin veil of a lie and all credibility is wiped out. But Truth stands forever.
I have always taught you that a liar is not worthy of being considered a man…

Keeping you and Roxie in my prayers. We’ve loved all of our animal family (and still love them), and cherish all of the memories daily. I think of the verse in Bible that says “all of God’s creatures are surrounding His throne”, so I know we’ll be them again in heaven. God’s blessings to you and Roxie. with love, Elizabeth

Dear Kathy.Happy Earth Day to you.Hope you’ve recovered from your birthday celebrations.It’s a very dull day in Wales,the mist is covering the mountains at the Dyfi should be some eggs next week.Marty’s doing very well with his state plate challenge.Wish I was sharing Joey’s new couch he gets loads of attention at the studio.Ray’s video and selfie with his Daddy so cute!I found Miss Ellie Beans last night the story about Mommy’s dentures turning blue was hilarious!!Have a great day.Hugs to you,Kisses for Holly Nikko and Sugar.Sheena.
Kathy
Dear Sheena,
Happy Earth Day! Check out the great Google Doodle for today. I survived my birthday! I had a very pleasant day. I was very touched that so many people from our Z Nation greeted me yesterday. Sweethearts! I do know that the weather isn’t very nice at this time of year in the British Isles. I remember reading Her Majesty celebrates her birthday in June since April is so gloomy. I hope all the ospreys are doing well even in the gloom. Marty continues to entertain all of us. He’s very charismatic! Joey looked very comfy. Their outside garden is very inviting. Ray has such a great family. They adore him! I’ll check in on Miss Ellie Beans. Have a great day. Hugs from me, kisses from Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy

Rosemarie G Cola
morning everyone,
I am just writting again to one, say the filly is very very much like her mom (as far as I can see from the photo). But also, I read that someone mentioned the Police album, Zenyatta Mondatta as a inspiration. As much I like Eazter Lily as a name, it seems the Mosses like one word names. That said, I am going with the album theme and again suggesting Roxzzane as a name. It fits all the criteria. Besides love the son:; Stings version and Eddie Murphy’s too LOL!
Sherry
If we’re going with one-word names tied to The Police, how about Zenchronicity for the song, “Synchronicity.”
Trina Nagele in So Cal
You’re right, Rosemarie. That’s a great name, and the Sting connection is perfect.
pamhomeier
I like that name, too!
Carole Klumb #42
Congratulations to the Zenyatta team on such a sweet baby filly.
Mary McCrea
Zennie you did it! A look-a-like little daughter! She is so precious, so adorably hug & kissable! I will find it interesting to hear how your interaction with your little daughter differs from the colts, her brothers. Oh Zennie, she is so beautiful! Thank you!
Victoria
She’s beautiful! I’m still waiting on a foal to be named Mondatta! Zenyatta is after all named after The Police album Zenyatta Mondatta!
Trina Nagele in So Cal
The Mosses have already used the name Mondatta. I don’t believe she ever raced.
Patti Lederer
Congratulations Zenyatta! She is Absolutely Beautiful! Agree with the earlier email that she should be named Mondatta, but with a “Z” at the end – “MondattaZ.” Sting related names for Ann and Jerry Moss horses have been successful.
DebraZ
There’s already a Mondatta, I was told.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Good morning Zenny,
How are you and the little Princess doing today? The weather has turned cold and damp here in Ohio, and I don’t think things are much better where you are. I hope you are still able to get outside because we are dying to see some VIDEO of you both!! I don’t think she will seem quite “real” until I see her in motion – running around with her mom :-) Take care, Zenny. Lots of love from your Ohio friend Sandy ♥♥♥
Alicia
Congratulations Zenyatta on a beautiful filly!!! Can’t wait to see a video of you & your baby running around.

Whoa! Do I have some fellow Kansas lovers of Zenyatta? Very exciting!
lizzie
Z–another beautiful offspring. And what a special day to have your first girl. No doubt you will -once again- show grace and beauty as a mother. Congrats to the Moses–excitement abounds.
Darlene Daniels
Dear Zenyatta and family.
Zenny, you and my daughter have something in common. Her first son is a dark haired, dark eyed boy, the second son is a blue eyed golden haired boy and the third child is a beautiful dark haired brown eyed little girl. Zenny have a wonderful day with your princess . Love to all .
Trina Nagele in So Cal
Sweet, Darlene! Love and hugZ, Trina

Hi!
How about the name Ms. ZENeaster Lily?
Ms. Zeneaster Lily is gorgeous as is her mother.
Love them both.
Thank you!

I would love to see more pictures of the Queen & the Princess!
Anita Sparrow
She is truly the spitting image of her mommy. I was
so glad it was a filly. Boys are great but fillies are
better. I raised horses for years and I was always
happiest when I got a filly. Congratulations to the
Mosse’s on their new filly and another future
Zenyatta
Liz
Wow, a filly on Easter! So special indeed. Love the look in Zenyatta’s eye…she’s such a good mum. Her newbie is a beauty just like her. Enjoying following Cozmic’s progress which hopefully turns into success. Thank you for keeping us all updated….much appreciated….Zenyatta is clearly a once in a lifetime horse!
Dee in the Hudson Valley
A huge, heartfelt congrats to the Big Girl and her Team. We were just saying to one another on Sunday that Zenny should be delivering any second and that we hoped for a filly. Here’s to a long, healthy and happy life for our beloved mom and her baby girl!
