only Caboose? The other end is pretty significant as well. The area in between is kind of short, no?
I think it looks short because of the angle. Either way she is built nicely. That is one heck of a shoulder.

She is a stunning little girl. As mentioned, it seems each of her foals is nicer looking than the last.

Love that curly mane, reminds me of Gate Dancer's mane. She is certainly a nice package.

In reading the post on her blog it mentioned that Life is Sweet foaled right before Zenyatta and right across the aisle from her. So they will still be paddock mates. I think that is pretty cool. They must as well to have mentioned it in her blog.

Good heavens! Double pleasure! Just posted how much I enjoyed the link someone shared with the latest pics of baby Z.

Was more than happy to read about Life Is Sweet, another favorite, and remember that she was no 'Morning Glory'. What a cutie she was, and hope they share her baby's pics with us. Fun day.

Ditto!

The Sherriffs video of LIS pretending she was "sleeping" are funny!

I imagine horses know what's going on by sounds etc. Perhaps LIS foaling enticed Z to get the job over.

They definitely do. In watching the cams at Winstar- it's entertaining to watch the reaction by other mares as one just down the aisle is giving birth. They stand at the front, pace and sometimes call out. I saw two births within about 10 minutes of each other this year.

A Derbytime news story with video about Cozmic One and he doesn't look so docile!

That's funny. I'd say it's a phase, but it seems he was something of a little sh*t as a foal soooo... it's doesn't look like he's mean, just being a bit of a bratty colt.

He just looks like a perfectly normal two year old colt being described by a reporter who doesn't know very much about horses.

Cosmc One was a pampered "little star" from the day he was born. Loved the attention he got...all the time. Loved the camera...was a"camera hog"
No surprise he thinks he is "queen of the may" :lol: :lol: !

Gosh if he is a brat, can you imagine what his little sister is going to be like when she gets older? She will no doubt be more spoiled than he was and in my experience with horses, the fillies and mares were always more moody and temperamental than the boys. She may be a handful.

I understand that Cozmic One isn't as flashy as his brother and sister but I think he's completely underrated in the looks department when compared to them. He sure has grown into a looker. Tall, dark and handsome he is. Still love that video of him as a foal squealing and running all over.

He didn't seem that bad, he is a colt, he is 2.

I watched it too and didn't think he was bad at all for a 2 year old colt. They are typically nippy, mouthy and they just don't yet have the manners of a grown horse. They're still very much kids, regardless of their size. I've been around some 2 year olds (even ones handled regularly and expertly) that were MORE than a handful, you'd best be on your toes constantly around them. He doesn't strike me as one of those.

I think he is perfect. Spunk and lots of classic TB looks. A beautiful colt with lots of potential that is being cultivated. Lots of attention only enhanced Zenyatta's temperament. Cozmic One is one to watch--and we all are! :)

He is gorgeous! Nothing wrong with him knowing he is special. If he takes that attitude to the track might help make him a champion one day.

I agree, he does look alot like his sire, but then his sire is an extremely handsome animal.

Me too! First time I heard that running squeal. I laughed and laughed. I dig Coz.

They just announced that Zenyatta won't be bred this year. As usual, I can't get on the website to read the whole thing.
