ARCADIA, California – Zenyatta overcame early trouble to beat the boys in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday, running her record to 14-0 in the most impressive effort of her career.
The five-year-old mare rallied from last after a poor start and fought off Gio Ponti in the straight to win by a length at Santa Anita, beating a loaded field of 11 males and becoming the first female to win the Classic in its 26-year history. (AP)
