Zenyatta arrives at Santa Anita for debut
March 11, 2010
ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) -Zenyatta has arrived at Santa Anita for final preparations ahead of her return to racing in the $250,000 Santa Margarita Handicap.
She arrived Thursday morning by van from her home base across town at Hollywood Park. Undefeated in 14 career races, the 6-year-old mare was scheduled to walk in Santa Anita's paddock between races later in the day.
Zenyatta has been idle since beating the boys in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic in November on the same synthetic track that she'll run on Saturday.
She's been assigned high weight of 127 pounds for the Santa Margarita - 12 to 19 pounds more than her eight filly and mare rivals. Zenyatta is the 1-9 morning-line favorite in the 1 1-8-mile race.
Zenyatta was runner-up in the Horse of the Year balloting to filly Rachel Alexandra, who will make her season debut Saturday in New Orleans.
The two superstars are set to meet for the first time April 9 in the $5 million Apple Blossom Handicap in Arkansas.
