Zenyatta ties record with Apple Blossom win
Hot Springs, AR (Sports Network) – Undefeated champion Zenyatta successfully extended her career winning streak to a record-tying 16 races by capturing Friday’s $500,000 Apple Blossom Invitational at Oaklawn Park. The champion mare equaled the record held by Citation and Cigar.
Owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, Zenyatta put on one of her classic late-running performances in capturing the Apple Blossom for the second time. Her jockey Mike Smith notched his sixth win in the race and the fifth in the last nine editions.
The six-year-old mare, sent off as the prohibitive 1-20 favorite, but trailed her four rivals through the early going. Be Fair set the pace with Taptam to her outside. War Echo and Just Jenda were a couple lengths back of the top two.
