Zenyatta to War Front in 2015

Horse of the Year and GI Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}) will be bred to War Front (Danzig) in 2015. The 10-year-old resides at Lane’s End Farm and was not bred this season. 

“[Zenyatta] is doing very well,” said Moss. “We didn’t breed her this year because she had gotten very heavy. She’s lost a lot of that weight, which she needed to do Sometimes that weight can be hard on the legs and she’s such a big girl. We saw her just a week ago and she’s looking great.” 

Zenyatta’s oldest foal is the 2-year-old colt Cozmic One (Bernardini) and she has a yearling colt named Ziconic (Tapit) in training in Florida. 

“She’s going to be bred to War Front in the spring and Cozmic One will run here at Santa Anita in a matter of days. Victor [Espinoza] worked him the other day and he’s ready.” 

Earlier this year, the mare’s only filly to date–a weanling by War Front–was euthanized after a paddock accident. 

Added Moss, “We suffered a great tragedy, but we’ve got Cozmic One and her second foal, Ziconic is in training in Florida right now and we’re feeling pretty good about the prospects of those two.”
