Zenyatta remains unbeaten with Clement L. Hirsch victory – Thoroughbred Times

by Mike Curry

Zenyatta was tested in the final furlong of the $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (G1) by runner-up Rinterval (Ire) on Saturday at Del Mar, but the two-time champion older female never appeared to be in any serious danger of tasting defeat for the first time. I’m thinking this may be a pretty good racehorse.

The six-year-old Street Cry (Ire) mare took command in early stretch under regular rider Mike Smith and held the runner-up at bay through the final furlong of a neck victory. Zenyatta won for the 18th time in as many starts after completing 1 1/16 miles in 1:45.03 on the synthetic Polytrack surface as the 1-to-10 favorite.
