Retired Zenyatta to revisit Santa Anita on Dec. 26

ARCADIA, Calif. — Undefeated Zenyatta will visit Santa Anita to be honored on opening day of the track’s winter meeting Dec. 26.

The recently retired mare will return to the scene of her triumph against the boys in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic for a final visit before heading to Kentucky to begin her breeding career.

Zenyatta will appear in a winner’s circle ceremony at Santa Anita, along with owners Jerry and Ann Moss, trainer John Shirreffs, Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith and her support team.

Zenyatta retired with a 14-0 record, including five stakes wins at Santa Anita. She is based at Hollywood Park in Inglewood.
