New photos of Z20 at zenyatta.com. She's got Mom's engine for sure!

Forum, blog, both seem to be down, and have been for a while.

I think they changed the format, is up now with an update on Cozmic One. Lanes End tweeted this out - 'Queen Z always has her posse with her'

That filly is huge!

Well, no wonder...Mom is an Amazon.

There was a nice feature on TDN August 29 about Z and Z2020. She looks amazing (and enormous).

Thanks! Found it on Youtube!

Someone in the comments on Youtube said she was bred back to Candy RIde, anyone know if that's confirmed?

She was bred to him, but I haven't seen it confirmed that she's actually in foal.

Zenyatta seems to have spotted the camera.

i almost said i was a little surprised she hasn't been weaned yet but wasn't she a bit more towards the later end of foaling season? likely why.

Yeah, I assume that's coming right up--has there been a confirmation that Z is in foal again? She looks large . .but she's always been a big girl.
I remember must have been 2007 or early 2008 I was at Santa Anita for (I think)the El Encino. I was a fan of Tough Tiz's Sis and I was in the saddling barn looking for my choice.Then this huge dark shape walked by, and I thought Uh-oh, who is THAT?

No they haven't said anything. I double checked because maybe I had missed there are some messages on the zenyatta forum asking the same.

Foaled May 17, so ya on the late side. Especially compared to the Jan/Feb babies.

Linked from BIll Farish twitter, he also confirmed to someone she was in foal to Candy RIde

Zenyatta’s filly has been named Zilkha

Northport · Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:11 pm

Well who would have thought that we would have peaked with Ziconic

I love Zellda, but yeah... this one isn't great. So many other Z names to choose from.

Sounds like one of the Aga Khan’s names.

Diver52 · Wed Jan 20, 2021 6:57 pm

We could have a contest for "even worse" names. I'd start with Candy Kizzes.

Mylute · Wed Jan 20, 2021 7:21 pm

Zilkha is better than the very corny, uninspired Rachel's Valentina and Jess's Dream.
