Up to that point, she was unbeaten at Santa Anita winning 3 races by a total of 10 lengths including a clear victory over the dominant BC Distaff winner.


This has to be a joke. The Santa Margarita was a week later and the Vanity was not for another 3 months.


You saw the actually running of the 2010 Santa Margarita, right? St. Trinians would have romped with a clean trip.


Seems like Zenyatta should have been in that race then.


Really? I've never seen a race where the first two home are lengths clear of the rest of the field (i.e., listed winner Will O Way, etc). I guess that means there was actually 2 good horses in the race, something rarely seen in CA nowadays. Must be evidence of a generational talent.


Personally, I would have offered to pay Zenyatta's nomination fee for the Hollywood Gold Cup AND the Pacific Classic.
