Zenyatta has been scanned in foal to Darley sire Bernardini.

The Street Cry champion retired as North America’s richest mare with $7.30 million in earnings as well as being honoured as Champion Older Female in 2008, ’09 and ‘10.

Zenyatta became the first female to win the G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2009 but lost a contentious Horse of the Year vote to Rachel Alexandra.

In 2010, Zenyatta extended her perfect career mark to 19-for-19, until suffering a heartbreaker in her career finale in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic.  Though she was narrowly denied by Blame at Churchill Downs, Zenyatta won the war for the Horse of the Year title.

Owners Jerry and Ann Moss selected Bernardini for her first mating but not only because of his exceptionally promising start as a sire.  Another compelling factor was Zenyatta’s juvenile half-sister, the highly-regarded Eblouissante, is also by Bernardini.

News of Zenyatta’s PPT comes just days after it was announced Rachel Alexandra is in foal to Curlin.
