ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Bring on the boys.
A day after the top female horses took center stage at the Breeders' Cup, leading lady Zenyatta will face her male rivals in Saturday's $5 million Classic. Zenyatta's 13-0 career record is at stake as she also seeks to become the first female horse to win the 1 1/4-mile race.
Life is Sweet didn't mind her stablemate's absence, especially considering the 4-year-old filly had lost three of her previous four races to Zenyatta. Life Is Sweet ended up winning the $2 million Ladies' Classic at 8-1 odds and gave John Shirreffs, who trains both horses for different owners, the tantalizing prospect of taking the weekend's two premier races.
