Zenyatta and her connections will be honored at Hollywood Park
(Benoit Photos) |
Undefeated champion ZENYATTA (Street Cry [Ire]), who finished her career with
a perfect 14-for-14 record by beating males with her dramatic late charge in the
Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), will be saluted by Hollywood Park on November 29,
the final day of the 18th Turf Festival.
Zenyatta, stabled at Hollywood Park throughout her illustrious career, will
parade between races on the program which will feature the 68th running of the
Hollywood Derby (G1) and the Miesque S. (G3). Patrons attending the celebration
of Zenyatta will receive a DVD — “ZENYATTA, A Living Legend” — which will
include interviews and each of her 14 starts, culminating with the sensational
victory over a world-class field in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita
Park.
In addition, the Breeders’ Cup “Girl Power” poster with the “Go Zenyatta”
exclamation will be reprinted with her lifetime past performances on the back.
Both giveaways will be available to patrons while supplies last.
Owners Jerry and Ann Moss will be on hand for the event, accompanied by the
Zenyatta team — Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, trainer John Shirreffs, groom
Mario Espinoza, hot walker Carmen Zamora, exercise rider Steve Willard and
stable manager Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs.
