I hope all will be fine. I'm still a fan although I know some of you are not. I really hope one of her kids proves to be like her on the track!
Update: Zenyatta Delivers Colt By War Front, Pair Taken To Clinic As Precaution
Paulick Report
After several days of going past her due date, champion Zenyatta finally gave birth early Monday to her fourth foal – a healthy colt by Claiborne Farm stallion War Front.
The colt was born with meconium staining, an occasional event in which the foal's first stool is expelled into the amniotic fluid either before or during labor, as opposed to after birth. This can cause aspiration or irritation of the lungs. Both mare and foal are reported to be doing well, but were taken to the clinic as a precaution.
The new arrival is the mare's third colt, following a 2012 Bernardini colt (Cozmic One) and a 2013 Tapit colt (Ziconic). Zenyatta produced a filly by War Front in 2014; unfortunately she had to be euthanized after a paddock accident as a weanling. She did not produce a foal in 2015.
