Zenyatta brings winning run to 19

Zenyatta was branded a "heart-stopper" after the unbeaten mare stretched her winning record to 19 in front of a huge crowd at Hollywood Park.

Just under 29,000 racegoers were shoehorned into the Californian venue as the remarkable six-year-old showed trademark determination to land the Lady's Secret Stakes by half a length.

She will now head for the Breeders' Cup Classic, which is likely to be her final racecourse outing, on the crest of a wave.

"She digs down every time and has so much heart," exclaimed trainer John Shirreffs.

"She's done some amazing things the last sixteenth of a mile - her heart must be huge.

"The fans really demonstrate how I feel inside. I can't really show those emotions, so I really enjoy them getting into it because that's exactly how I feel.

"She's a heart-stopper in so many ways."
