Zenyatta bows out

ZENYATTA has been retired to the paddocks following her Breeders’ Cup Classic defeat earlier this month.

The six-year-old, who is owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, notched up a 19-race unbeaten streak before going down by just a head to Blame at Churchill Downs.

Zenyatta landed the 2009 Classic and was thought to have been on her way to the breeding sheds after that famous win, but her owners decided to race on this term.
