Email the farm, or DM one of Zenyatta's social media accounts - whoever manages them would know.Squeaky wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 3:29 pmOh no— can we verify this?

Hopefully they’ll make an announcement soon if it’s true. Just heard from someone that knows people at Lane’s End

Man it seems like neither Z nor rachel have had much luck as broodmares and has Rachel's valentina even produced much?Summer Bird wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 1:14 amI heard through the grape vine that she aborted again

Rough luck all around. Not many years left for her broodmare career.
Guessing shenwould be pensioned by the time she turns 20

Yes Zenyatta did lose her 2021 foal. The information is on the zenyatta website. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to let her live the rest of her years without breeding.

Wonder if it was placentitis again. I wonder if they will breed her back or give her the year off for treatment then try one last time in 2022 before retiring her as a broodmare. Maybe Zilkha can break through and be a runner.

There's an overwhelming demand from the fans to pension zenyatta...my opinion is the MOSSES know her best...let them and her team of vets decide
Re: Zenyatta News

She’s a 17-year-old mare who has lost two of her last five pregnancies and a third died days after birth from complications of pregnancy. Of her three living foals of racing age, two were poor runners and one is an unraced 4yo.wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to let her live the rest of her years without breeding.
The combined published stud fees of the stallions Zenyatta has visited over the years is over $700,000–and that’s only for the pregnancies that resulted in a live foal (I’m counting the War Front colt, who did stand and nurse.) Add in vet bills, training costs, and agistment and the amount of money spent on Zenyatta foals is approaching $1,000,000... and she still doesn’t even have a maiden winner.
So, yes, I agree with you that she’s likely to be pensioned. There’s a point at which one is just throwing good money after bad, she’s not getting younger, and she has two very well-bred daughters who can be retired to the paddocks.

I don't know if it was just a coincidence, but TVG ran one of their "Classic" series this afternoon: Zenyatta's Classic win in 2009.
I remember watching that race unfold. When she made that running-back move at the head of the stretch, I thought my heart was going to leap out of my chest.
That Big Mare always brought the adrenaline...and a lot of joy.
The loss of so many of her foals is tragic, but IMHO, her first filly, the War Front-sired "Z Princess," was the most promising. Got old enough that you could see her quality coming through.
That hurt.

I hope they do keep trying - or at least if they do stop, it's not due to public pressure.

The fans are the main reason they stopped posting stuff on there. A lot of it started when Z Princess died. Because according to fans, it was Lane's Ends fault the filly broke her neck running into another horse. Then of course there have been the fans who didn't want her bred from day 1. When people ask why farms/owners don't release information about their horses, its easy to point a situations like this. No one wants to deal with freaking crazy people.CleverCharm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:19 am The Mosses are probably regretting ever starting Zenyatta.com

I know they aren't but they try to share their horses with the public, which they don't have to, and then the crazy fans (which aren't all fans) cause farms/owners to not want to, that is all I'm saying.Katewerk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 3:03 pmNo one is held hostage to internet randos against their will.Flanders wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 1:25 pmThe fans are the main reason they stopped posting stuff on there.
