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.

    Good health and luck to our little Zellda. I am totally in awe of her family. The Queen for her mom and Rachel Alexandra and Songbird as half sisters. I know, they aren’t counted as siblings except through the dam but they are from the same sire and he does seem to produce great daughters. Hope she has a good life as has her mom and sisters. Think I will need a case of Tums and a bottle of vodka when she makes her first start!

    Happy Birthday a day late to Enable!! Even though I didn’t get anywhere near “close,” it was a thrill to be breathing the same air as her at the Breeders Cup in November. What an exciting win that was ❤️❤️❤️
    Now here is a strange thing: Right after I wished Marshall a Happy Birthday back on the 9th, I posted that it was also Brenda from Ft Erie’s Birthday. Either that never “took” or it has disappeared so I thought I would just mention it again. BEST wishes for a great year, Brenda! ❤️??

    My guess is we will not learn who Zenyatta was bred to until a pregnancy is confirmed.
    Congratulations to Taffe McFadden for winning Reserve Best In Show at Westminster with that beautiful Havanese, Bono! I have known Taffe for years, a true sportsman and genuine nice person! Her husband, Bill, won Best in Show last year with the bichon. Their son, Connor, handles my Pepper’s main competition here in California! Small world!

    Well it’s been well over a couple of weeks again, and still no word about Ziconic being at John’s. This is the third time that we have been told this, and time goes by without hearing anything. I’m beginning to wonder if something is wrong. I never have heard about such secrecy and putting people off with the same reply, which never happens. Zenyatta and her offspring have been very open to us, which we appreciate, but it is unfair to allow us in, and we fall in love with them, and then one individual falls off the face of the earth to us. We are then fed a tidbit of the same information that doesn’t come through. It is unfair to faithful fans to do this. When the decision was made to open up all of Zenyatta’s life, and bring people into her life and racing, then it shouldn’t be all but one individual. He was my favorite from the beginning, and I’m sure some others. He had so much potential, even at the farm they said what a great attitude he had for work. If racing didn’t work out for him, then give him a chance to be happy like Coz. He is a beautiful horse, and had natural dance moves like his mother. Maybe dressage could be in his future, but not just thrown away out in a pasture somewhere or worse. PLEASE LET US KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT”S GOING ON WITH HIM. PLEASE LET HIM BE HAPPY LIKE COZ!!!!

    What a performance by Cyrname in the Betfair Ascot Chase among 6 winners for trainer Paul Nicholls.Doubtful we will see him at Cheltenham he loves the right handed tracks.Also a fine win by Clan Des Obeaux in the Denman Chase Gold cup for him hopefully.Congratulations all.
