Del Mar's Buzzing About Zenyatta

The most popular celebrity at the races this weekend will be the 3-year old everyone in Del Mar is talking about.

Undefeated Zenyatta will run in the 9th race Saturday at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in an attempt to raise her record to 18-0.

That streak includes two wins at Del Mar over the past two years.

Zenyatta had a light workout Friday morning - an appearance that just might be the last chance to see her race in person.

"She just has this sweet personality about her and she really bonds with people," said Zenyatta's trainer John Shirreffs. "A lot of times she shows a really kind side."

The plan is for her to race twice more after Saturday.Her final race will be at the Breeders Cup Classic at Churchill Downs.
