Dear Zenyatta, Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Zenyatta, and Team Lane’s End,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news! Are you blushing, Dear Queen?!?! You and your baby will be in my prayers. Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Moss for choosing such an outstanding sire!!!!!!!!!!
We all sure needed some real good news in the world today! I’ll keep praying to St. Francis of Assisi to our God for a safe delivery and a healthy foal from our beautiful, Zenyatta!!!!
Nerve wracking match over here AGAIN.Now into the 5th set for Federer and Raonic!A War Front filly has won for Ballydoyle called Roly-Poly.Tough 2yr old.Mistake with the Frankel colt’s name Seven Heavens.John Gosden is happy with him
Roly Poly was 8th to Lady Aurelia at Ascot. After her total destruction of the field at Ascot, LA, referred to by the UK commentators as “the American horse”, has returned to the US and is training on the turf at Keeneland. May go to France next.
Dear Max.He is the image of his daddy.Ouija Board’s colt by Dubawi broke his maiden yesterday.A very nice win.She may be in foal to Galileo again slipped a foal last year and was barren in 2014.Lady Aurelia is heading for Deauville I think.We will never forget her race at RA!Sheena
Max
When I saw the picture of Seven in the Racing Post, I thought that they had made a mistake and put one of Frankel in the story instead. But no. He is just like his dad and racing for Abdullah too. It’s a real pleasure to look at such a handsome fellow.
Hope that Ouija is okay. She’s had some bad luck like Zenyatta.
Congratulations Zenyatta, Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Z and Lane’s End! Thanks for sharing such good news in a troubled day. Especially thanks for the picture of our Queen Z!
I hope Mr and Mrs Moss do not spend too much time with her at the end.
I think she held on to her last FOAL too long because of all the attention she was getting.
Mares like to be left alone to give birth, I know she needs supervision of course in case she needs help.
Just my humble opinion, I don’t want to offend anyone.
Andy Murray is through to the final at Wimbledon in 3 sets.He now plays Milos Raonic the first Canadian to reach a grand slam final.A rerun of the final at Queen’s club a few weeks ago which Murray won.Sheena
So happy for the wonderful news. Of course, those of us who love Zenny so will be praying for a happy pregnancy and safe delivery. (We may add a request for a filly.) Love you, Zenny, and think of you daily. A lovely picture of you adorns my wall.
GOD bless all Team Z. He seems to lean towards stronger daughters, so i’m praying for a fiily; perhaps to surpass even her mother ;-)
And Zenyatta, I will pray daily my Lord God bless you, my Lord God keep you, my Lord God make HIS face to continue to shine upon you, my Lord God be gracious to us all and remember each of us in HIS mercy and may HE always bless us all with HIS peace! Love you Team Z!
UPI Horse Racing Weekend Preview (Excellent)
By Robert Kieckhefer, UPI Racing Writer | July 8, 2016
In another big weekend of racing, European raiders clash with promising Americans on the Belmont Park turf with even more action on the main course, it’s Arlington Million Preview Day, Delaware Park heats up and top 3-year-olds face off in Germany and France. http://www.upi.com/UPI-Horse-Racing-Weekend-Preview/9761467992931/
Thank you Team Z and Lane’s End for sharing the news! Wonderful! Hope all goes well with mom and baby in the weeks and months to come, and I can hardly wait for the blessed event next Spring.
Some much needed good news. Congratulations to team Zenyatta – and of course – to the Queen herself. Here’s hoping for a healthy foal, easy delivery, and all things good. You are so kind to keep Zenny’s fans in the loop.
I absolutely love this horse, and I think I understand the breeding, but she is such a legend and to continue to breed her over and over again, I feel is degrading. She is a super star, can’t we see how her current offspring does before we just use her as a breeding machine. I feel it’s all about the money not the horse. I’m sorry.
Dear Judy.So sad to see Federer lose his semi-final today.The long match he had in the quarters finally caught up with him in the 5th Frankel has another beautiful boy winning on his debut.Ceri and Teg are peacefully sleeping alone now.I’ll post a link of a photo below.Such sadness in Dallas and elsewhere.I send healing thoughts and prayers.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT Cap Hercules Frank Bentley and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX http://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject/

Very impressed with Masochistic today.
6/2 furlongs in 1:13.74.
just 3/5 off track record. Impressive win after layoff
I have thought this for ages. Yes, I agree totally with Donna. Keep it quiet! Gathering the entire crew for a birthday party is way spooking for a mare who is about to deliver. It makes her think, “Oh my God, here I am, full of a big baby, and they are getting ready to ship me off to compete again”. What else would she think? She hasn’t a clue what a birthday is. Enough. Peace and quiet is what a pregnant mare needs. Let her be.
Luv from Judith
Wishing our beautiful Queen Mother, Zenyatta a happy healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. Thank you for sharing her news with her fans. I have played the Zenyatta song by Liza G. Fly about 5 times today. May she rest in peace. I like to imagine her serenading Princess Z and Z16 with her catchy happy tune of their Mother’s success at the track. Whatever ones beliefs or persuasion, with all the bad news this week, the thought makes me happy. Zenyatta is such a force of nature. We all love her so much. Hope she is having a great summer in Ky.
Dear Zenyatta, Such wonderful news. And we sure needed this great news. I am so happy your in foal. Just over the moon. Zenny I am so hoping its a little girl, but you know I will love either one. Its time for everyone to go into pamper mode with you. But I sure know you are going to be one spoiled girl. Can’t wait till next spring. And, please please lots of pictures. We’re going to be thinking about you every day. Listen Z, I think we need another video of your having sunday brunch. (Remember the Pear Sunday Brunch) Loved that video. You looked so happy eating those pears. Love you forever.
….. and Karen in LA , I love your idea of riding Zenny on the Carousel at the LA GRIFFITH PARK ZOO. Please give a kiss to the gray, Giacamo!!!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one of the carousel songs was Zenyatta’s Theme Song by Liza G. Fly?
In case the Mosses or anyone at Team Z actually read all these posts, I feel like apologizing to you for people who give their opinions on how you have handled or should handle Zenyatta or her foals or are critical in any way of you. It’s clear you all love Zenyatta dearly and obviously you and Lane’s End are experts and treat Zenyatta with the utmost of care. We are privileged that you share any information with us at all. You have shared so much with the public. It is generous of you to do so.
Amen!
Well said, Leslie.
The critics pop up from time to time, but we know Zenyatta has the very best care and is most certainly loved by her owners and the entire team.
We are indeed privileged to be included in the life of this wonderful mare. I am grateful every day to come here. I love you, Z, and your entire equine/human family. ?
This is what the UK Racing Post is saying about Zenyatta’s pregnancy. They call her the “wondermare”. The photo is good too, both of her and her people.
If you think you are so different you can never be like other people and share their lives, think again. Open the door to very special friendships. We need each other-we are needed by others and we need others. E li sti, my Cherokee mother, never separated herself from those who had needs, because she had needs as well. Her door was open, the porch was waiting for those who wanted to visit and share whatever was on their hearts. A lady named Sadie often came to visit, and we all loved her dearly. We miss her as we still miss our mother, and she loved us too. We may look different, we may be of different color, different attitudes, different wants and needs, but we are all human and share so many similar qualities that we could not miss knowing a friend.
Make the most of the other people, bless them, and give them friendship. It is a wonderful gift the is always welcome and always remembered.
What nation who has taken up arms ever brought peace and happiness to his people?

Dear Max.As I am sure you know racehorses become “public property” as champions.I cannot recall the amount of horses I have “owned” since a child.It is because we love Zenyatta we like to give an opinion on her welfare.We KNOW she so loved and well cared by the Mosses and Lane’s End.It’s only because we love her so much just as I love our UK horses.I think there’s another Frankel foal running today.
I didn’t say anything about that subject of the Mosses. Maybe you mixed me up with someone else? I only posted the RP article about Z and her foal.
Looking forward to hearing any news about the kids of Frankel. Gosden gave an interview in which he described Seven Heavens as a copy of Frankel. Seven like his dad is a good training pupil. He does his work. And he’s alpha.
I mixed you up with Leslie.Very sorry about that.Cunco was ponied down but only managed 4th.The winner Boynton beat the big favourite War Decree.William Buick is missing all these rides.A STS’s colt Mutakayyef was a good winner too.So many races today and the Wimbledon final.Very busy .A couple of peeps I know visited the Irish National stud recently and got some fabulous pics of the ‘Fly’ and he didn’t bite!Sheena
Max
I watched Cunco’s race. According to Gosden, Cunco has an “interesting” character, which seems to be code for Cunco does what he wants and doesn’t take orders. At the saddling barn, he may have landed a few kicks against the wall. As for the pony, Cunco wanted nothing to do with him and went his own way. It’s very early days and he’s a baby. Cunco like Seven Heavens looks like Frankel. As you know, Cunco is inbred to Northern Dancer on both sides. There’s a lot of fire in that pedigree. And talent.
Dear Kathy.I could see on Zoe’s page that you were working.How well I remember my grandparents door always open to everyone.No man is an island,we all depend on one another.A wet,miserable day here the chicks were soaked this morning.Going to serve in the ladies final.Dry and cloudy at Wimbledon and Newmarket.Try and enjoy your day at work eat a doughnut.Love and hugs to you,Kisses for Angel Holly,Nikko and Sugar.SheenaXOXO
spare Liza G Fly, i think she liked countryside nature, horses, flowers, beautyfull Zenny for good your health and good health of foal or filly keep condition of your soul quiet and joyfull, enjoy green grass green trees blue skyes white clouds or grey clouds middle wind mild not cold rain, walk with Vixana see on other horses in herd, simply like in races keep some safe distance from not joyfull news and events, google ” youtube three horses crash into fence accident ” , february5, 2015, weather wet, turf muddy soft, lead horse failure of briddle or he she was afraid of something, tiny light weight horses, well quiet carefull comment of commentator :-(
I am so excited over this news AND the stallion selection. I have hoped that Medaglia d’ Oro might be one of Zenny’s “dates” ever since she began her new career as a broodmare.
Thanks to the folks at Zenyatta.com for keeping us in the loop and thank you Lane’s End for wonderful care you give to our Queen.
Prayers for a non-eventful delivery and a happy, healthy foal (maybe a filly????)
