Zenyatta wins 14th straight

Zenyatta overcame early trouble to beat the boys in the $5-million Breeders Cup Classic on Saturday, running her record to 14-0.

The 5-year-old mare rallied from last after a poor start and fought off Gio Ponti in the stretch to win by a length at Santa Anita, beating a loaded field of 11 males and becoming the first female to win the Classic in its 26-year history.

Conduit defended his $3-million Breeders Cup Turf championship, wearing down front-runner Presious Passion at the wire to win by a half-length. Conduit boosted his career earnings to more than $5.3 million.
