LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Vibrance found herself on the early lead before settling for a distant second behind Bellafina when last they met in the Sept. 29 Chandelier at Santa Anita.
But with more speed in the mix for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies – namely, Serengeti Empress and Jaywalk – trainer Michael McCarthy is hoping things will shape up differently for Vibrance.

“There are some very fast fillies in there,” he said. “We’re hoping our filly will settle early and hopefully make her run at the right time.”
McCarthy now lives in Altadena, Calif., but is no stranger to Louisville, having lived here off-and-on for several years while working as an assistant to Todd Pletcher.
