Watch for Zenyatta this weekend
By: Irma Haldane
No American-bred horse has ever won 20 consecutive races, let alone retire undefeated. Zenyatta has a chance to accomplish both feats with a second straight victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. This Friday and Saturday in Louisville, KY, the Breeders World Cup will kick off for a wild weekend. Last time the queen of California raced outside her state, she retained her most impressive win in terms of margin of victory, taking this year’s version by 4 1/4 lengths and the ’08 race by 4 1/2 lengths.
The pace is expected to be a fast to be quick keeping Quality Road honest on the first turns. But the horse to watch is the late charging Zenyatat. Blame is expected to be the only horse with the capability to hold her off. Blame has won 3 of 4 lifetime starts at Churchhill Down, including the Stephen Foster Handicap last June.
