Zenyatta Is Apple Blossom Invitational Winner
Zenyatta came to Oaklawn Park as visiting royalty. After romping to her 16th consecutive victory in the Apple Blossom Invitational, racing’s queen stood before her adoring public and bowed her head twice. At times more human than horse, Zenyatta high-stepped her way to the starting gate Friday in her distinctive Radio City Rockette style. She lagged behind early as usual before making a sweeping move through the stretch turn on her way to a 4 1/4-length victory. Hot Springs’ hotels were full, the weather was beautiful.
The champion thoroughbreds were to have raced Friday for $5 million in the Apple Blossom. But Rachel Alexandra’s owners backed out, and Oaklawn dropped the purse to its original $500,000 for the 1 1/8-mile race for older fillies and mares.
The Apple Blossom was pushed to Friday from the weekend before to accommodate Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra. The change put it the day before what’s ordinarily Oaklawn’s biggest race, the $1 million Arkansas Derby, a key prep race for the Kentucky Derby and the closer to Oaklawn’s live season. Business owners speculated the change would result in a bigger crowd than either individual race typically drew.
Hot Springs tourism director Steve Arrison said he was pleased with how the day shaped up: Restaurants were full Thursday night, and many of their customers had bedded down in area hotels. While there were plenty of cancellations after Rachel Alexandra pulled out, hotels were able to rebook, he said. “The town is full, we’re just not over full.
The horse Zenyatta ruled the Apple Blossom Invitational at at Oaklawn Park on Friday. The win of the 6-year-old Zenyatta has tied the 16-0 feat of 1948 Triple Crown winner Citation and 1995-96 Horse of the Year Cigar.
