A farewell, non-racing track appearance of the standout mare Zenyatta drew the largest opening day crowd in 10 years at Santa Anita on Saturday
.
The latest HTA Newletter reports that 35,292 thoroughbred fanciers turned out to see the great five-year-old, undefeated in 14 lifetime starts and dramatic winner of the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 7, and parade down the stretch for the last time.
It was one more example of the drawing power of a great champion.
