I would also not like to see her go to Smart Strike, and I don't think they would do that. Inbreeding to Mr. Prospector would be 2 X 4. There aren't any Smart Strike-Street Cry crosses out there to compare.

Are we still speculating, or has it been announced she is going to Tapit? The 2013 colt looks really nice, and Tapit is having a good year.

You could say the same thing for gray Tapit fillies and now it looks like things have swung the other way and it's chestnuts and colts now. LOL Maybe Z14 will be the swing for the War Front fillies.

she is so cute. I Love her color too. Zenyatta is giving us a variety of colors. I guess the stallions have a bit to do with it too but...

MDO is also a filly stallion, he's got nice colts too, but I can list more ladies in his top earners than gents.

Rahy was the same way- he had some real nice male runners but it's the ladies that his influence will be felt- turning out to be a good Broodmare sire- is currently #13 on the list.

Will be interesting to watch the little princess to grow up and see what she does on the track- as well as the shed.

Holy crap- we know which side of the genetic tree that came from, huh?

Holy crap! There are NO words for her.

Is this the best looking foal EVER? Maybe....

sweettalk · Fri Apr 25, 2014 2:08 pm

momma sure knows how to build a great looking foal, doesn't she...

Lakeway · Fri Apr 25, 2014 2:32 pm

And they all have such a "presence" about them, even when less than a week old. Just a cutie pie...

Probably.

Square and rock solid!

151 lbs. - big girl. Pretty, well put together filly.

Every year we think the foals can't get any better than Zen has already produced and then BOOM!!

I think it's pretty clear now they'd probably rather go back to War Front

I was for sure with the rumor repeat breeding it would be Tapit but after seeing these photos today. Hello War Front. That little girl is something else.

After Ziconic I didn't think she could produce a better looking foal. Wow. Z14 has surpassed him.

Lakeway · Fri Apr 25, 2014 5:46 pm

As neither Tapit or War Front are that old, I'm still thinking they'll go with a different stallion this year. I'm guessing Candy Ride (ARG) or Medaglia d'Oro...

I know right! I didn't think we would get better than Ziconic but I can't stop looking at Z14.

I think the colts look more like her.

only Caboose? The other end is pretty significant as well. The area in between is kind of short, no?
