Extending her unbeaten streak to 13 with a huge win in Saturday's  $299,000 Lady's Secret Stakes (and improving her Breeders' Cup odds), Zenyatta is now tied with Personal Ensign. The victory also gives her an automatic entry to the Breeder's Cup. The decision as to which race — either the Breeders' Cup Classic or the Breeders' Cup Laides' Classic — is still with owner Jerry Moss.

"I think the horse will make the decision," Moss said from the winner's circle at Santa Anita.

Jockey Mike Smith led Zenyatta across the finish line in 1:42.89, 1 1/4 lengths ahead of second place finisher Lethal Heat. Cocoa Beach came in third.
