Zenyatta’s 2014 foal, a filly by War Front, was euthanized Oct. 28 at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital as the result of a paddock accident at Lane’s End Farm.

Team Zenyatta issued the following statement on their website:

Dear fans,

We are deeply saddened to report the passing of Zenyatta’s filly, affectionately nicknamed Z Princess. She was a member of our family and had just begun to make her mark on the world. This is a heartbreaking loss for those who knew and loved her.

The following is a statement from Lane’s End Farm:

It is with a heavy heart that I must report the death of the 2014 War Front/Zenyatta weanling filly. She was humanely euthanized last night at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital after a paddock accident on the farm.

As caretakers of these Thoroughbreds, we collectively mourn the loss of this beautiful filly.

On behalf of the Farish family and the entire staff at Lane’s End Farm, our condolences go out to Jerry and Ann, Team Zenyatta and all the great fans who support Zenyatta.

Respectfully,
Mike Cline
General Manager of Lane’s End Farm

At this time, we ask that all messages of love and condolence be sent to the Zenyatta office. Team Z would like to lessen the load on Lane’s End Farm and their dedicated staff.
