Earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic via a Breeders' Cup Challenge victory in the Grade 1 Lady's Secret Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 10, 2009.
Strengths: Massive filly can make her own race, not needing pace help, and finishes with a flourish like few before her. She’s a picture of perfection over varying racing surfaces and circuits, winning on dirt and all-weather tracks. Has exhibited the ability to put away her competition and win with ease where expected. Zenyatta owns a clear-cut victory over reigning Champion Mare Ginger Punch on a neutral track at Oaklawn Park.
Weaknesses: Immense talent has scared many challengers away, so she’s not well-versed against a big field of top-class rivals. Given her late-running style, she could be challenged if a big field showed up at the Grade 1 level; though she did rally to beat 11 sprinters in her maiden debut. Simply put, there are few flaws.
In the Genes: This daughter of Street Cry is a half-sister to multiple grade 1 stakes winner Balance.
