We’re proud to announce that Zenyatta’s 2017 filly by Medaglia d’Oro offically has a name! Ann and Jerry have named her Zellda, with an extra L for good luck!
Zellda is completing her early training at Mayberry Farm in Ocala, FL. The Mayberrys report that she is feisty and loves to be out front.

Looking good, Ms Zellda!

Zelda was my great-grandmother’s name. She was a feisty novelist, survivor, and a true dame! May you do her proud, young lady!

Zellda is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. May the Equine Gods be kind to her and keep her in their arms.
Thank you, Team Z, for keeping all of us included in this life that is Zenyatta.

Jeanie Martin
Thank you for letting us know her name and for sharing the videos. I certainly love the “feisty” part. She has certainly filled out since the last video. Wishing her all the best! Stay healthy and safe, Zellda.

Zellda is certainly a fiesty girl.Great to have news about her and to hear she doing so well at the Mayberry’s.Good luck sweetheart in your racing career.Love and hugs.

Such a beauty! She does her mama proud!
Diane Martin
I love the name, very fitting for the daughter of our Queen.
It is exciting to hear and see her progress. Prayers that she stays safe and finds joy on the track. Congrats to all❤️

WOW, she has a lot of similarities to her Mama, the great Zenyatta. She is fiesty, shares her white feet +1, and their builds are very similar at that age. Of course her ears stand out as a sweet family trait, moving to navigate her way. She seems happy on the track and that is good to see. All in all she looks good. As long as she is happy and healthy and likes what she is doing is most important overall. I am sure John, Dottie, Mario and Carmen are anxious to welcome her to Santa Anita.

RIP sweet momma. She was loved and well cared for and injured herself being a horse. She will be remembered in her two Dans.

Dear Marshall:
I read your post after I posted my goodnight to Z and the kids. It’s amazing how often you and I use the same words to express our shared love of Z and her babes. Like minds. ?Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Judy,
Yes, that often happens. We are on the same wavelength a lot of the time!

I am having an issue accessing my emojis/symbols option — suddenly and for no reason that I can figure, clicking on "Edit" at the top and then on "emojis/symbols" doesn't work tonight. Arrrgh, computers like to mess with your mind!
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Hi and this is a test ? ?
And now, it’s back to normal!!
Go figure. Techno indigestion, maybe?
Goodnight and sweet dreams Zenny and all your family. ❤️
