BlaZing A Trail

[BornToWin]

He's so cute peeking out at the world from his nest. Waiting now on news of Zenyatta, but happy little man is here and alert.

[Insane Crazy]

Whaaaat a cutie. Love his stripe.

[firehorse]

So happy he's here His blaze kinda starts out like his mom but ends like his dad, may his running style be sorta reversed (?)

[oldgraymare]

Yep, that's her boy alright; just look at those ears.

And here come the news stories. Love the Horse Racing Nation lead!

On the track, Zenyatta always left things to the last possible second, causing her adoring fans to sweat bullets as she made up ground in the stretch. Just when you thought all was lost, the popular mare would kick it into another gear just in time to grab the win. Now in her second career as a broodmare, Queen Z has not lost her flair for the dramatic.

and from Kentucky CJ--http://www.courier-journal.com/story/sp ... /82889588/

Champion racehorse Zenyatta successfully delivered her fourth foal Monday at Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky. It's another colt, her connections reported, this one by War Front.

The horse appears to be a dark bay color with a white blaze across his face. Yes, he looks just like Mom.

The HRN story reports the mare and foal are doing well. Now that he is here, was he overdue?

I thought Coz was the cutest newborn ever, then Ziconic, then ZPrincess, and now. . . Glad to read the early reports that both Mom and Baby are fine, looking forward to seeing more photos.

I was starting to get a little worried about Zen. I was sure she woul!d foal on Friday, she looked ready, the stall looked ready and then we heard nothing. My imagination went wild. Never so glad to be proved wrong.

[luvsgeldings]

awww gosh he is a cutie!! so glad he is here - and that both Zen and baby are fine - nice happy news for a Monday - wishing them both great health!!

[Katewerk]

It's a boy! They posted there would be more details later

Where have I seen those ears before?

[Allspice]

Yay, baby Z'16 is here! I'm so glad they are both healthy. Aww, that face. <3

[sweettalk]

i'm glad everything seems to have gone well, but i am pretty disappointed she had another colt. still, looking forward to more pics and videos, he's a darling.

[Sparrow Castle]

Glad that birthing's over. Congratulations to Zenyatta and TeamZ! Maybe a filly next time.

[Carotene]

Post just went up on her blog. Apparently, there was an issue of meconium staining and they are at the clinic.

Congrats Z and team!

I wondered if there might be an issue, given the delay in posting details. Sure hope all goes well for the little guy.

[No 1 Cares]

he's a cute one! i hope he comes out of this okay, i know nothing about meconium staining other than what i googled.

[Rainyday]

I have a tendency to be Ms Paranoid, but when there was such a minimal announcement and delay for further details, I couldn't help but think something had gone wrong. Glad that it seems to be something minor and hope the little guy's fine.

[firehorse]

Does he look 'big' size wise?

[oldgraymare]

It's been my experience it's usually a sure sign mom went way over her due date. Can be serious, with severe breathing problems, if the lungs become swollen. Sounds like they are doing all the right things and he should be fine. May take a little while for him to catch up to the other foals his age though.

[lurkey mclurker]

He looks a lot like Z Princess, too. I'm glad they got a colt this time, even if that makes three boys. I wouldn't have felt that way about a filly by any other sire; it's odd, I know, but. *shrug*

Anyway he is a lovely colt and I hope they are both back home quickly. <3
