Zenyatta awakens and takes a walk
Zenyatta awakened from her first night at the Del Mar Racetrack Thursday rested and ready and took her usual 45-minute morning walk with hot walker Leonides Rodriguez around the inner ring of trainer John Shirreffs barn.
With her now patented come-from-behind stretch run, and an extra burst of speed in the last sixteenth of a mile, Zenyatta made history on Sunday, June 13, 2010, with a very narrow win over St. Trinians in the $250,000 Vanity Handicap (gr. 1) at Hollywood Park.
