A Breeders' Cup victory that puts a young horse on the path toward the Kentucky Derby or Kentucky Oaks is virtually priceless.

Regally-bred Grade 1 winner Delta Prince, who was scheduled to enter stud next year in Kentucky, was euthanized Friday.

But whatever memories of her former life as a racehorse remain for Zenyatta, now a broodmare at Lane's End Farm in Kentucky, she evidently doesn't remember the trainer who guided her to titles as champion older female in 2008, 2009, and 2010, and Horse of the Year in 2010.
