Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Contenders
Horse/ Best Beyer | Trainer | Odds and comments by David Aragona | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ecoro Sieg NA-NA | Hideyuki Mori | 4-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Japanese colt is 2 for 2 over 6F, but possesses blazing early speed, so cutback to 5F no issue; take him seriously. | |||||
Big Mojo NA-NA-NA | Mick Appleby | 9-2 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Same connections as last year's winner Big Evs; 5F specialist was just edged out by Aesterius in the Flying Childers. | |||||
Aesterius NA-NA-NA | Archie Watson | 5-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Turned tables on nemesis Big Mojo to take G2 Flying Childers; has won 3 Euro stakes at 5F over straight courses. | |||||
Governor Sam 77-75-78 | George Weaver | 5-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Has won four in a row including three stakes; laid down scorching fractions and still held on to win Indian Summer. | |||||
Whistlejacket NA-NA-NA | Aidan O'Brien | 6-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: G1 Prix Morny winner was also second in two G1 stakes at 6F; O’Brien colt is class of field if he handles slight turnback. | |||||
Ides of March NA-NA | Aidan O'Brien | 10-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Won maiden on third appearance, then easily took down Irish G3 at 6F, but that was over two months ago. | |||||
Shareholder NA-NA-NA | Karl Burke | 10-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Won G2 Norfolk at Royal Ascot, but then bombed in G1 Prix Morny in August; tough read returning from layoff. | |||||
Magnum Force NA-NA-NA | Ger Lyons | 15-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Chased home Aesterius and Big Mojo when beaten favorite in G2 Flying Childers; all races over straight courses. | |||||
Mentee 73-51-68 | Todd Pletcher | 15-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: First preference is Juvenile Turf; full to Fierceness took to turf in impressive Futurity win against weaker. | |||||
Arizona Blaze NA-NA-NA | Adrian Murray | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Experienced Euro invader raced well at 6F over the summer, placing in a G1, but form has plateaued as of late. | |||||
Celandine | Ed Walker | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: First preference is Juvenile Fillies Turf; beaten by Big Mojo and Aesterius in lone 5F attempt over the summer. | |||||
Out On Bail 76-69-71 | Mike Maker | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Has twice chased home the speedy Governor Sam, unable to catch rival even with the right pace setup last time. | |||||
Not selected into the field and listed in order of preference by the Breeders’ Cup Racing Directors/Secretaries Panel: | |||||
|
|||||
|
|||||
Gate to Wire 73-65 | Todd Pletcher | 30-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Spa debut winner was no match for stablemate Mentee in Futurity; needs to get faster to contend at this level. | |||||
Chasing Liberty 70-78-58 | Rob Atras | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: First preference is Juvenile Turf; ran out of real estate when closing belatedly in fast-paced Indian Summer. | |||||
Jet Sweep Joe 46-71-77 | Paul McEntee | 50-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Couldn’t deal with frenetic early pace in Indian Summer and faded badly; form going in wrong direction. | |||||
Mi Bago 73-51 | Mark Casse | 30-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Switched to turf for minor stakes win over similarly configured course at Woodbine, but now steps up in class. | |||||
Pali Kitten 79-58-56 | Doug O’Neill | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Took a big step forward to upset just three rivals in the Speakeasy; waters get much deeper for improving colt. | |||||
Smash It 78-91-83 | Todd Fincher | 20-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Earned a 91 Beyer in Del Mar maiden score on dirt; not quite as brilliant when beaten in the Speakeasy on turf. | |||||
Smoken Wicked 65-81-72 | Dallas Stewart | 30-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Dirt specialist clearly has talent, setting a fast pace in the Hopeful before fading to fourth; tries turf for the first time. | |||||
Kale’s Angel 72-74-52 | Peter Miller | 30-1 | |||
|
|||||
|
|||||
DA: Won going away over course and distance for maiden score; never threatened going longer in Zuma Beach. | |||||

The horses that compete in these championship races can claim their berths in multiple ways. The first is by winning a Breeders' Cup Challenge race. The second is through a system that allows horses to earn points based on their performance in major races throughout the year. The third way to be selected is to be chosen by a panel of experts. There are a maximum of 14 horses in each Breeders' Cup race, except the Dirt Mile and Juvenile Turf Sprint, which are limited to 12 starters.
