The remarkable Zenyatta stands alone. Thrilling another crowd with her spine-tingling late charge, the undefeated mare nabbed a determined St Trinians by a half-length for her 17th consecutive victory in the June 13 Vanity Handicap (gr. I) at Hollywood Park.
This was the 6-year-old champion's unprecented third straight win in the Vanity, and by far her most exciting.
The victory moves her past Citation, Cigar and Mister Frisky for the most consecutive wins in modern times in races not restricted to state breeds.
Jockey Mike Smith had to ask her for something extra as she charged toward the wire. She trailed St Trinians by 2 1/2 lengths at the eighth pole and her rival wasn't giving in. But Zenyatta surged under right-handed encouragement from Smith as they approached the wire to collect her record victory.
