NGLEWOOD, Calif. - Aside from being the trainer of Zenyatta, John Shirreffs may be the undefeated filly's biggest fan.
"She just amazes me like she does everyone else," Shirreffs said.
Saturday, Zenyatta stretched her unbeaten streak to five with a convincing victory in the $183,300 Milady Handicap at Hollywood Park. Zenyatta was bounced around at the start, and lagged at the back of the field of five until the final turn, when she unleashed a rally that quickly carried her to the front. Zenyatta won by 2 1/2 lengths, virtually unchallenged.
