ZENYATTA RETIRED

12 Jun 2023 11:57


 

Horse of the Year, three-time champion, and Hall of Famer Zenyatta has entered the next phase of her life as she hangs her shoes up from a 13-year-long stint as a broodmare.

Taking up residence at Lane’s End Farm after leaving the track, the mare, owned by Jerry Moss and Ann Holbrook Moss, has faced difficulties staying in foal over the years while her talent has not translated into her offspring.

From four foals of racing age, only two – Cozmic One and Ziconic – have made it to the races, with the former failing to hit the board in five starts, and the latter finishing as runner-up twice but never breaking his maiden.
The mare had her last foal, a War Front filly, on Friday and Claunch says both mare and baby are healthy and doing well.
Zenyatta won 19 of her 20 starts including 17 in Graded company, and 13 in Grade 1 races. Conditioned by John Shirreffs, Zenyatta ended her historic career with her only loss in a runner-up finish behind Blame in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic and earnings of over $7.3 million.
