They had 12 claims in for her.
She's been the second horse to run back from the "Grade 1" Clement Hirsch - Spring Style (4th in the Hirsch) was dead last in a field of 7 behind Wasted Tears last weekend.
It will be interesting to see if Rinterval tries Zenyatta again in the Zenyatta Stakes .. or if she ships back to Presque Isle for the Masters Stakes - on a track where she was smoked by a subsequent 5K claimer last summer.

Gosh, Doug, you seem to forget that Zenyatta brings out the best in her rivals. Remember when we were led to believe that Floating Heart ran a career best race when 3rd in the Santa Margarita? Yeah, that's the filly who finished 4th in a N3X yesterday at Saratoga and got an 80 Beyer.
