Eblouissante is by Bernardini-Vertigineux (Zenyatta’s Dam) so this could be a preview of Zenyatta’s foal 12-Z by Bernardini. Vertigineux has been more of a producer of fillies so far.

The article in the Racing Post suggested that Coolmore have acquired the dam of Zenyatta.
"Vertigineux, who is a half-sister to French Listed winners Blash and Restrained, has two-year-old filly by Henrythenavigator. Now under Coolmore ownership, she also has a yearling filly by Henrythenavigator, who sold for $1.5 million to Adena Springs at last year’s Keeneland November Sale, and is in foal to Street Cry."Racing Post.Yes, Coolmore bought Vertigineux and she is now boarded at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Kentucky. Since being sold to Coolmore, V has produced two foals by Henry The Navigator. They tried to breed a full sibling to Zenyatta in 2011 but the mating with Street Cry didn’t take. In 2012 they tried again and Vertigineux is now in foal to Street Cry, expecting a full sibling to Zenyatta in 2013.
Eric Kronfeld, bred Zenyatta and sold Zenyatta to Jerry and Ann Moss at auction in Keeneland for $60,000. Of course, Eric no doubt did well when he sold Vertigineux privately to Coolmore. EK also kept Vertigineux’s filly Eblouissante to continue the bloodline that he had been breeding for several generations. That’s why Eblouissante was racing in EK’s silks. Ironically, one of the horses Ebby beat in her first race was owned by the Mosses and racing in Zenyatta’s colours.

Eblouissante will make her second start Saturday Dec 15th at Hollywood Park. It is an allowance race against winners and some are older horses so it should be a tougher test than beating maidens. Ebby is 6/5 on the morning line and will probably be bet down because of the Zenyatta connection so you might want to lay her but before you do take another look at the videos of her first race posted earlier in this topic.
I remember in the 1980’s Eric Kronfeld owning Mrs Penny, trained I think by Ian Balding. Won Cheveley Park S. [G1, ENG], Prix De Diane [G1, FR], Prix Vermeille [G1, FR], Cherry Hinton S. [G3, ENG], Lowther S. [G3, ENG], Queen Charlotte H. [G3, USA]

3rd One Thousand Guineas [G1, ENG], Irish One Thousand Guineas [G1, IRE]Champion 2yo and 3yo filly in England.
Champion 3yo filly in Ireland.
Dam of Northern Park, the last of Northern Dancer’s foals to go through the sales ring.
Died in 1997; buried at Overbrook Farm, Ky.Entered in the Mojave River Purse at Santa Anita tomorrow.
‘Eh-blue-ee-sant’ will feature in the seventh race on the card.

They originally wanted to put her in the La Canada Stakes but I think Sheriffs came to his senses and realized that this is a much better spot for a filly’s second start lifetime and first start on dirt. The "Mojave River Purse" is just a fancy name for an nw2 allowance race.
Straight-forward success for Ebby. So many similarities…
