Zenyatta to retire to Kentucky
Zenyatta, the six-year-old mare whose narrow defeat in the Breeders' Cup Classic this month was the lone blemish in a scintillating 19-1 racing career, will be retired in Kentucky next month.
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.
