Zenyatta takes to track before Apple Blossom
April 8, 2010HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) -Undefeated Zenyatta galloped once around Oaklawn Park in her first trip to the track before Friday's Apple Blossom Invitational.
Last year's Horse of the Year runner-up completed her workout in light rain Wednesday under the watchful eye of trainer John Shirreffs.
Zenyatta is going for her 16th consecutive victory - which would tie the mark shared by Cigar and Citation.
She created a stir when she visited the indoor paddock minutes after the draw for the Arkansas Derby ended. Onlookers snapped photos and followed her every move as she walked around before pawing the dirt with her right front hoof while standing in a stall.
