Dear Friends,
I’m so excited and could not wait to share the news with you! MY DEAR ZELLDA had a beautiful colt by JUSTIFY on April 19th at 6:10 pm. Per Todd, “he is chestnut in color, leggy and weighed in at 107 pounds.”
I’m delighted to let you know both Mom and Foal are doing very well. From all reports, Zellda is an excellent Mother!
I must say, I adore watching newborn foals running and playing outside with their Moms! They are TOO CUTE as they learn to romp about, stretch their bodies and discover the ‘exciting’ places their legs can take them. After a few hours of playtime, it seems like a light bulb goes on and they suddenly realize how ‘quickly’ they can travel to all parts of the paddock. Oh Zellda, have fun! Looks like he loves to run and play!

Remembering the importance of this day 80 years ago.
The Longest Day—
June 6, 1944: Our world is forever indebted to those brave soldiers who landed and fought on those beaches. Some made it, some were badly wounded and many lost their lives — Thank God for all of them — the best of the best against evil forces. With grateful hearts, we must never forget.
Prayers that history doesn’t repeat itself.
Hugs and Love Always

Dear Marshall and Judy,
Truly the Greatest Generation. Every single one a HERO. What a beautiful and touching commemoration ceremony. You have to wonder how many young people now would rise to that level of patriotism…
Hugs,
Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Kathy and Judy,
Yes indeed, the Greatest Generation — Tom Brokaw is right
Kathy, I wonder about how many of the current population would be so brave and selfless, too. I truly pray that we don’t have to find out, but if so,
hope springs eternal. 🙏

Have a lovely Belmont Stakes weekend, everyone!

This is a great video of former MLB player, Jason Werth, one of the co-owners of Dornoch watching him win the Belmont yesterday. Hope the link works.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting this video — such excitement! Congrats to Team Dornoch!! So glad that Dornoch got to run his race this time. The little brother has won the Belmont Stakes just as big brother Mage won the Derby last year.
Cheers!

Another senior champion has left us.
Ide, a multiple stakes winning stallion, was euthanized on Friday at age 31 due to colic. He had been living happily at Old Friends since 2016.
RIP Ide, beautiful chestnut champ. Running among the angels now. 😢

Prayers for Mr. Ramsey and for all people and horses at Ruidoso Downs.
Prayers also for the family of assistant trainer to Steve Asmmusen, Toby Sheets. Tragically, he apparently drowned while on vacation in Greece.
RIP all the mares and foals lost in a barn fire in France on Sunday. So very sad😓. Run free Mamas and babies in God’s Heaven.
Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
I didn’t know about Toby Sheets’ death — condolences to his family, Steve Asmussen and all his friends/colleagues. RIP
Had not heard about the barn fire in France last Sunday either. How awful!
RIP beautiful innocents. Running with angels now. Condolences to all. 😔

Congrats to Porta Fortuna and her connections on her Coronation Cup win at Ascot. She won there last year also in the Albany Stakes. Her name in English, Lucky Charm, says it all. Well done Beauty!
Scroll down the article to see a video of the owner partnership watching the race. Just joy.

Thanks for the link to this article and video! Congrats to Porta Fortuna on the Coronation Cup win!

Wonderful that she has won the Albany Stakes at age 2 and now the Coronation Cup at age 3 — that’s impressive!
Continued good luck to her and of course, good health always❣️

Dear Z, Z-Family and Z-Fans,
Hope you are all doing well and staying cool on this the last day of June.
The grass here looks like it is August — dry and brown, but at least I don’t need to mow! We are due to get some serious thunderstorm activity this afternoon and again during the night. I sincerely hope there will not be much thunder and no damage. Thunder upsets my little terrier-mix, Fenn.
🤞 🙏 🐾 🙏 🤞
So tomorrow is the 1st of July — please stay safe and cool, Dear Z. You are still an inspiration!
Hugs and Love 💖
Marshall (NC Broad)
Happy and safe Independence Day to all! 🇺🇸
Here’s hoping we stay that way. 🙏
