ONE OF THE MOST SENSATIONAL EVER!!! Zenyatta, a five-year old filly, beat the boys and became the first female mare to win the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic. She was dead last early on, trailing 11 lengths off the lead with half a mile to go before her spectacular late finish to win the race. Zenyatta was ridden by Mike Smith, and trained by John Shirreffs. She is undefeated in 14 starts. A brief transcript from ESPN's broadcast: "This is unbelievable, Zenyatta, what a performance, one we'll never forget. Looked impossible, but it is Zenyatta still unbeaten under Mike Smith. What a dramatic performance, one of the most sensational ever." Zenyatta's owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, purchased her for $60,000 at the 2005 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Zenyatta's dam, Vertigineux, is a Kris S. half-sister to three stakes winners and was a dissapointment on the racetrack while running for her breeder, Eric Kronfeld (Maverick Productions Limited). As a broodmare, however, Vertigineux has been a versatile producer. In addition to Zenyatta is Balance, by Thunder Gulch, who sold for $260,000 and went on to win five stakes and more than $1 million, including three grade I races. The dam also produced Where's Bailey, winner of the Remington Park Oaks in 2005. Vertigineuxs granddam is the well-bred In the Offing, a daughter of Hoist the Flag and the stakes-winning Tom Fool mare Mrs. Peterkin. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Moss. Moss, co-founder of A&M Records, named Zenyatta for a recording by the super-group The Police.
