08/07/2010 - Del Mar, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Undefeated champion Zenyatta successfully negotiated Del Mar's synthetic surface Saturday on her way to winning the $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes. The six-year-old mare extended her career unbeaten streak to 18 races, including three consecutive Hirsch Stakes.
Owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, Zenyatta was ridden again by Mike Smith, who received a pre-race kiss from Hall of Fame jockey Julie Krone. Zenyatta sits atop the National Thoroughbred Poll and is now perfect in four starts this year.
The pace in the Hirsch was set by Rinterval. Racing in second was Dance to My Tune followed by Princess Taylor and Made for Magic. Zenyatta, who normally is last in the early going, was fifth in the six-horse field with Spring Style in sixth.
As the field entered the far turn, Zenyatta made her move to the front. Smith had her on the outside around the final turn and into the stretch. The champion mare easily went past Rinterval with a furlong to run.
Trained by John Shirreffs, Zenyatta held off a determined Rinterval down the stretch. The winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Classic posted a head victory over Rinterval.
"She literally was playing," Smith said about the 1-10 favorite.
Finishing third was Princess Taylor followed by Spring Style, Dance to My Tune and Made for Magic.
Zenyatta covered the 1 1/16-miles in 1:45.03.
Zenyatta adds $180,000 to her career earnings, which now stands at $6.15 million. In her four wins this year the champion has earned $780,000.
Zenyatta began her 2010 campaign by winning the Santa Margarita Handicap at Santa Anita Park and followed with a win as the 1-20 favorite in Oaklawn Park's Apple Blossom Handicap. She won the Vanity Handicap for a second straight time in her previous start.
Zenyatta is a two-time Eclipse Award winner as champion older female.
Zenyatta returned $2.20 and $2.10, and Rinterval paid $3.80 for place. There was no show wagering.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
