Midwest Thoroughbreds continues to roll
Nikki Sherman Work All Week earned a career-best 105 Beyer Speed Figure for his win in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The expanding dominance of Midwest Thoroughbreds came to the fore again Sunday when a 2-year-old filly named Scadadle ran off to a 6 1/2-length victory in what had looked like a contentious maiden race on paper.
Trained by Chris Richard, Scadadle, by Scat Daddy, earned a 78 Beyer Speed Figure.
Midwest, based in Chicago and operated by Richard and Karen Papiese, is well on its way of being the North American wins leader for the fifth straight year. The stable won its first Breeders’ Cup race when Work All Week captured the Nov. 1 BC Sprint.
