My last post explains why a recent post by Frank Mitchell gave me second thoughts about the appropriateness of Giant’s Causeway as a mate for Zenyatta in spite of the sterling statistical profile he has with her ancestry. My underlying point is that what’s on paper can and must be interpreted in lig...Read More

  • buckpasser · War admiral looked more like his dam and brood mare sire. Interesting while many breeders were not actually that interested in War Admiral when he retired as he was so different from MOW. But ER Bradley liked the fact that he was so close coupled and his conformation was exactly what Bradley liked in his sires. It was through Bradley that WA became as successful as he did. · 7 days ago ·

Zenyatta will always be remembered! a consant winner thourghout her career

  • GregRiessland · zen only ran in three races that where impressive. many grade 1 races, but not against grade 1 horses . i only looked forward to when she ran in the breeders cup races, the rest were a joke. rachel's 3year old career was more impressive. they at least stepped up to challenge her. she set track records, won the preakness which is rare for a filly and and she only force a handful of horses into to retirement. yeah such a one hit wonder. think before you speak. · 42 days ago ·

Gotta love 'er! :)
Her trainer saved her by waiting to race her until she was older and fully matured. Imagine if all horses did that!

  • HorseDynasty · AmbitiousD, Do you mean keep the status quo as far as age and races but ditch the two year graded earnings? I would worry then that horses would be shoved in as many races as possible when they hit three to get enough money to run. · 42 days ago ·

  • AmbitiousD · HorseDynasty, this is a possibility, but I'm open to other ideas. I would like to hope that potential stud value would still preserve the horses' best interests, and would lead to better/fuller fields for 3yr old stakes races. There is no one change to fix all issues, I guess that is what we are all really getting at. · 42 days ago ·

Happy Birthday Zenny!
Happy birthday mom:)
Why not breed her to TIZNOW? IMO he's the perfect horse for her to be bred
  • Show All 23 Comments
  • cocoa2 · The Unbridled Sire Line is notorious for horses with weak health. As for breeding to Tiznow, I see no reason why not. I don't think he is the BEST choice, but he is not a bad idea. I personally love Tiznow colts, but he doesn't fit Zenyatta as well as other studs. If I was Team Z I'd watch Curlin's progeny closely - Smart Strike is a fantastic sire, and Curlin seemed to have few limitations. · 55 days ago ·

Does anyone know if Giant Causeway or one of his sons like Eskendereya would be a good cross with Zenyatta.
  • Show All 4 Comments
  • HorseDynasty · An easy way to find out is to look at Zenyatta's pedigree, then look at a potential cross. Some people will consider a cross if I believe the same line is in the fourth generation or further back and call it line breeding which is a form of inbreeding. Hard Spun has the Roberto line issue as well though. · 56 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · I doubt they will breed to Giant's Causeway, at least not soon anyway. The Mosses really like the A.P. Indy line, which is why they're going to Tapit after breeding her to Bernardini this past season. · 56 days ago ·
