US horse racing - Zenyatta sensational in Santa Anita comeback victory

- 14 Mar 2010

2009 Breeders’ Cup heroine Zenyatta made a sensational return to the track with an impressive victory in the Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap at Santa Anita on Saturday evening.

Conceding weight to all her rivals the superstar made her customary late challenge down the middle of the track to win by a length and a quarter from Dance To My Tune.

"Obviously, (Smith) went to the inside and then had to come back out, so - I just have a lot of faith in Mike," said delgithed winning trainer John Shirreffs.

"I know once he gets her in the clear, he has a good chance.

"She's cut in between horses and everything, but when you have a big X on your back, a lot of places don't open up that normally would."
