Zenyatta’s Second Foal Born April 1

Zenyatta has always been one for special occasions. In true form, she foaled just before midnight on her 9th birthday, after a day of celebration.

She delivered a healthy colt by Tapit at 11:47 pm EST on Monday April 1. Estimated at 145 lbs, he is a leggy chestnut with a white blaze similar to Zenyatta’s. Eager to start his new life, he was standing on his own by 12:18 am and nursing within an hour.

Both are doing so very well, and it’s a joy to see how much Zenyatta loves being a mom.

Thank you to all of the fans who have been following The Queen and sending good wishes and blessings. It worked!

We can’t wait to spend the day with little 13Z tomorrow, and there will be many more pictures to come!

    Regarding Zenyatta’s new baby and despite all the colour predictions…………. remember the “Old Horsman”s Story”………………..” a good horse is never a bad colour!!! I am so excited to see that. Who cares what colour he tuns out to be. The Queen may now have 2 Kentucky Derby contenders – 2015 and 2016 – (or am I getting too ahead of myself?:!)

    Love and Hugs to the Queen

    Dear Zenny,
    You look gorgeous — the picture of perfect love. Lots of love to you and your dear little one, and kisses on both your noses. Please snuggle-in for the night, and have sweet dreams with restful slumber.
    All the very Best to you, beautiful girl. Enjoy your new baby. Hugs

    Not to get ahead of ourselves, but, it history truly repeats itself as we have all seen with war, fashion, etc, could we be looking at the next great Big Red in Zenyattas new foal? Just a thought: Man O War in 1917, 53 years later Secretariat in 1970, and now Zs new foal 43 years later. And, coincidental or not, all their birthdays are within a day or two of each other. Would be amazing! Oh such high hopes we have for this little crown prince.

    He is beautiful.

    As for names, I honestly think combining the names is not the Moss’s style, they have named their horses after music that has been a important part of their lives, that said I like
    Brimstone for z12
    and
    Moon River for z13 if they are available

    The fact that little “Red” was born on the queen’s birthday can be interpreted as certainty that he will rise to greatness. Oh yes, red is the color of champions.

    That’s it! His name must be 13Z because he will be destined to be the 13th triple crown champion.

    I have to admit that I was so sorry to know Zenny would never race again but seeing how she has taken to motherhood I am so very happy. :) She is still in our lives and we have something in racing to look forward to! Her babies are so special!

    Dare I ask if the Mosses have hinted at who might be the sire of Z14?
