Zenyatta bred to Big Brown?
I went on the website Pedigreequery.com and it says Zenyatta was bred to Big Brown and resulted in a colt in 2015. Is this true? I knew she had a filly by War Front who passed in an accident. Must be an error.

Interesting choice..Both her other foals are working steadily but slow 5/8 at Santa Anita every week. Cozmic One (Bernardini) and Ziconic (Tapit).

Not a chance. I'm pretty sure she wasn't bred that year.

The War Front foal died and she was bred back to War Front, not Big Brown.

Anybody can put a horse on that website and to the best of my knowledge it isn't checked for accuracy. I am guessing this will be removed shortly.

You and FF are both correct. After the tragedy with her foal, they held her out of the shed for a year.

The other 2 are working regularly but not running. I get the impression that Ziconic is more talented than Cozmic One.

Cozmic One has been a bust thus far.

Just a question are the stallions that produce best at a mile/ mile and a quarter range the same stallions that produce best in the 5 to 6 furlong range? Or are there better sires for different distances?
Would it ever be considered to breed a mare like Zenyatta to a stallion that excels in the 5 to 6 furlong range (if there are those types).

$.02:
-Stallions who are known for throwing distance, can also be effective passing on sprinter speed, and vice versa. I mean, it can vary, but you really don't know until you get them to the track... 
-I'm sure it could be considered, but if I'm breeding to Zenyatta, I'd have 9-12 furlongs in mind; not just 6.

Sure, but you'd want to breed her to a stallion who often imparts speed like Tapit.

This is very true. You want that balance of speed and stamina.

Class, not only are you knowledgeable, but you are, also, too kind.... You are one of the most loyal souls ever. This is true especially of Zenyatta.
All I could think of?
Rachel's throwing Runners.
Z's throwing Radiators. (For all they've shown.)
