In brief: Zenyatta wins Lady’s Secret to go to 19-0

Horse racing: Zenyatta improved to 19-0 in her stellar career, using her usual come-from-behind move to overtake front-running Switch in the stretch and win the $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes on Saturday in Inglewood, Calif.

The 6-year-old mare prevailed by a half-length, putting a scare into her connections and much of the crowd at Hollywood Park before rallying late under Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith.

It was Zenyatta’s final prep before she heads to Churchill Downs next month to take on the boys again in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, which she won last year.

Zenyatta ran the distance on the synthetic Cushion Track in 1:42.97. Sent off at 1-9 odds, she paid $2.20 and $2.10. There was no show wagering because of the five-horse field.

Switch returned $2.60. Rinterval, who lost to Zenyatta by a neck last month at Del Mar, was scratched in the paddock before the race.

The victory, worth $150,000, made Zenyatta the career earnings leader for a female horse. Her total of $6,404,580 overtook the old mark of $6,334,296 set by Ouija Board, who retired in 2006.
