Cupid, by Tapit Last 3 Beyers: 99-99-108 ◗ He won his lone start here, but it was against inferior competition. His disappointing fourth as the favorite in the Awesome Again made the cutback to a mile preferred over the Classic, a race his owners used for European imports Churchill and War Decree. Mor Spirit, by Eskendereya Last 3 Beyers: 117-107-108 ◗ He turned in a freakish performance in the Met Mile, which was his third straight victory, but the race took a toll on him in the weeks soon thereafter. “Coming off a layoff, he’s got his work cut out for him,” trainer Bob Baffert said. :: BREEDERS’ CUP 2017: Fields, odds, comments, and more Practical Joke, by Into Mischief Last 3 Beyers: 104-94-101 ◗ He is a thoroughly admirable performer who was a two-time Grade 1 winner at 2 and won the Grade 1 Jerkens at 3 in his last start. ◗ Trainer Chad Brown said there is a chance he could still run once more after this race, in the Cigar Mile. But he is off to stud at the end of the year. :: Breeders' Cup PPs, Clocker Reports, and more Sharp Azteca, by Freud Last 3 Beyers: 112-108-106 ◗ He is in career form, earning Beyer Speed Figures of 101 or better in his last six starts in the United States.
