Breyer Zenyatta

Funny, flirtatious and fan-friendly describes the mighty 17-hand Zenyatta, who re-wrote racing history in 2009 by beating an all-male field to become the first filly ever to win the Breeders' Cup Classic. Indomitable on the track, this "super filly" won 19 consecutive races in her 20 race career, outperforming former consecutive win record holders Cigar and Citation and equaling the record of the great Eclipse, for whom racing's highest honors are named. Despite a superior effort, Zenyatta was bested by a head in her final race in the 2010 Breeder's Cup Classic. For her achievements, she was named the 2010 Horse of the Year at the Eclipse Awards, in addition to picking up her third Eclipse Award for Top Older Female. She is now retired from racing, and enjoying her new career as a broodmare, now on her 3rd foal. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Zenyatta models go to three great charities: the fantastic Thoroughbred rescue/retirement home Old Friends, The Race for Education - providing educational programs and college scholarships to young people in the equine and agriculture industry with significant financial need, and Canter California's Thoroughbred adoption program.
