Beholder continues stellar run in Zenyatta Dual champion Beholder (Henny Hughes) was never threatened in taking Saturday's $300,750 Zenyatta S. (G1) at Santa Anita Park under jockey Gary Stevens. The Richard Mandella-trained five-year-old tracked in midpack on the outside early before ranging up under her own power to take command rounding the turn and drew off to a 3 1/4-length victory as the prohibitive 1-10 favorite. Campaigned by B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm, Beholder ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.83 to earn her third straight Zenyatta win. The bay mare is now five-for-five on the year and is likely headed to the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Keeneland on October 31. She earned a guaranteed spot in that race when romping by 8 1/4 lengths in the 1 1/4-mile Pacific Classic (G1) against the boys last out. Also in this division, Godolphin's Wedding Toast (Street Sense) prepped for the Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) with a victory in the Beldame (G1). Both recaps are up on the TwinSpires blog.
