Decision to be announced today regarding Zenyatta placing at the Breeder’s Cup Saturday in Arcadia. Zenyatta is having the fantasy runup to the Breeder’s Cup celebrating her 13-0 streak. Using the phrase “hot tail” has never been so apt, as Zenyatta is scheduled to be (ahem) put into breeding pasture after the Cup.

Bought for $60,000 by owners the Mosses at a yearling race, Zenyatta is out of Street Cry. Zenyatta gets 30 carrots a day and fan mail,  accompanied by loving trainers. This Saturday’s races together with the filly races might be the most stirring drama Breeder’s Cup fans might ever see.

That, and the bickering over the synthetic track some owners and trainers just can’t get beyond.
