A quiet day for Zenyatta but here's the report (courtesy Breeders' Cup)...
Two-time champion Zenyatta showed no signs of being tired from Friday’s workout and, in fact, was quite a handful for exercise rider Steve Willard on Sunday morning. To ensure that she didn’t do too much, trainer John Shirreffs sent Willard and Zenyatta to the Hollywood Park training track with pony Winston and his rider, Fred Wilson, to jog one mile. It was her first trip to the track since Friday.
“On the first day back to the track, I just look to see that the rider stays on,” said Shirreffs. “She looks really good right now.”
Zenyatta’s final workout before she leaves California to defend her title in the Breeders’ Cup Classic will be Saturday, October 30. The Street Cry (IRE) mare will leave California on a Tex Sutton chartered flight on Tuesday, November 2.
It will be nerve racking until we know she lands safely.
