- Zenyatta heads to Churchill Downs to defend her Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) crown riding a 19-race streak of perfection. For the third time in her career, she three-peated in a major grade I race when she used her patented late charge to score a half-length triumph over Switch in Oak Tree's $250,000 Lady's Secret Stakes (gr. I) before 25,837 fans at Hollywood Park Oct. 2.
Racing closer than usual to a pedestrian pace for jockey Mike Smith, Zenyatta wound up her sweeping move rounding the final turn. She came under urging in the lane as Switch, who bounced to the lead at the head of the stretch, proved resolute in the drive. Trailing by nearly three lengths approaching mid-stretch, the 1-10 favorite Zenyatta kept coming, however, getting control in the final strides while inching away at the wire.
``She seems to know where the wire is at and she likes to make it a little dramatic,'' Smith said. ``It's just incredible.''
Zenyatta completed the 1 1/16-mile trip in 1:42.97 for her 11th victory at the distance. She registered her eighth win over her home track. The 6-year-old daughter of Street Cry also completed her third consecutive three-peat following victories in the Vanity Handicap (gr. I) at Hollywood Park June 13 and the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (gr. I) at Del Mar Aug. 7. It was her 13th grade I win and ninth at that level in a row.
``She has so much heart,'' trainer John Shirreffs said. ``She digs down every time.''

'Just another perfect day for the queen'! Watched this so many times and it still feels good! In 2022, yet! Great seeing Penny, too! Just enjoying great memories!
❤
Just imagine if Zenyatta could of been bred to Man O' War, Citation, Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Cigar. Those would be some unbelievable pedigrees put together for sure and undoubtedly some great future racehorses!
Zenyatta and Secretariat share that awesome of Nasrullah and Princequillo.
What a star she was on the racetrack!! Miss all the Hoopla she brought to the races!!
Just love the chills she gave me. I was hooked. Never missed a race.
Thank you so much for posting this. I was there that day and it was a thrill, but it's so nice to have the coverage to re-live it with.
I love that. "Another perfect day for the Queen!"
She made my heart throb i thought she wudnt get there but she did it ❤️😍✌️thrilling ✌️✌️
As was written in a high-dollar thoroughbred documentary, Zenyatta is the "quintessential thoroughbred."
NO DOUBT!!!! She is by FAR the CLOSEST we've seen to the Great RUFFIAN in BOTH : SIZE & PRESENCE & CHARISMA !!!! born(fowled) 32 years after RUFFIAN.... today's date: 7/5/2022
Switch was something.
Awesome race such grace
Unreal 😳
That was some performance to make up that ground so quickly.
She's so unatturally big

how do you absolutely fall in love with a horse, i am in love with her
Its sad that Penny Chennery died earlier this year
I've heard a lot of people crab Zenyatta's form over the years. Saying John Shireffs should've sent her out more often against the boys in races like the Hollywood Gold Cup, Pacific Classic, or Goodwood Stakes. But just because she didn't compete in those races it's still awfully hard to say she dodged any of the best males of her generation running in back to back BC Classics. And that covers the best on dirt, synthetics, and turf from America, Europe, Japan, and beyond.
Thank you for good moments jockeys sport and Good Luck Mike Smith and horse Zenyatta, USA
reacheal Alexandra did the lady secret stakes with a time 1:49 and zenyattas time was 1:42
Fabulous clip but what is that horrid clack, clack, clack sound??
Bad audio🤣
Blame broke my heart I had the Superfecta but would love for her to win that final race Mike Smith lost that race for her
In my heart she won that one
Zenyatta !!! won't you dance with me?
Zenyatta could run another mile or a few.
I bet seabiscuit could beat her. People are saying that Zenyatta might be faster and better than Secretariat. I do not belive that.
You can deal with those people one of two ways: with pity or by pointing and laughing. I'm partial the latter myself, although the two are not mutually exclusive.
That tapping noise is irritating.
Oh really great win she is great breeders Hourse
what was her time
July 2023 watching this race when Zenyatta is headed to Churchill Downs brings me to mind of the current 12 race horses now dead at Churchill Downs. This makes me wonder since that was Zenyatta's one loss was at that track.
