LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trainer Peter Miller made Breeders’ Cup history Saturday at Churchill Downs after defending champion Roy H rallied to a convincing 3 1/4-length triumph over the slow-starting Whitmore in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Imperial Hint, runner-up in the 2017 Sprint and the 8-5 favorite on Saturday, finished third.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Among trainers in Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf history, Chad Brown now stands alone at the top.

At Churchill Downs in the Grade 1, $2 million Filly and Mare Turf on Saturday, he recorded his fourth victory in the race when Sistercharlie wore down favored Wild Illusion. This resulted in Brown passing three-time winner Michael Stoute, with whom he had been tied.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – This was the moment trainer Michael McCarthy had spent seemingly his whole life waiting for, from the time he first started going to the races as a youth at Santa Anita, not far from his family home in Arcadia, Calif., to his first jobs on the track, his association as a longtime assistant to Todd Pletcher, where he worked in concert with Javier Castellano, and then after striking out on his own nearly five years ago.

Joel Rosario entered the Churchill Downs jockeys room late Saturday afternoon, stripped off a set of Centennial Farm silks, and offered a hand of greeting, then quickly took it back.

“Let me take a shower first,” he said. “I got a little dirty.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With just a furlong to go Saturday in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, more than half the field was still ahead of Shamrock Rose.

But not unlike last year, jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. summoned a tremendous surge from his mount, and Shamrock Rose was up in the final couple of jumps to prevail in a four-horse photo in a dramatic 12th running of the Grade 1, $1 million Filly and Mare Sprint, the first of nine straight Saturday BC events at Churchill Downs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Stormy Liberal did more than win Saturday’s Grade 1, $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs. He also put his name in the Breeders’ Cup history books as the race’s second repeat winner, joining Mizdirection, who went back to back in 2012-13.

Unlike Mizdirection, who raced over the same Santa Anita course in winning her two Turf Sprints, Stormy Liberal took his show on the road from California to run in Kentucky. Yet his unfamiliarity with the Churchill Downs course, as well as limited experience on wet ground, never affected his performance.

Hit the relatively chalky pick four (races 6-9) yesterday in the Breeders' Cup, so we'll parlay that return ($278.20) into today's pick five, which begins with race 7 and culminates with the Breeders' Cup Classic:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Though trainer Bob Baffert has won the Kentucky Derby five times, none has come with the three horses with whom he won the prior year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Friday, at Churchill Downs, Baffert won his fourth Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with Game Winner, who will now be one of several candidates Baffert figures to have for next year’s Kentucky Derby.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The 2-year-old filly Newspaperofrecord possesses the equine equivalent of a Roman nose. When she walks around the shed row her right hind hoof audibly clips her right front hoof. In the barn the filly might be less than ideal, but out on the racetrack she has so far been perfect.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Line of Duty, who won the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Friday, will jet back to England early next week, then travel on to Dubai, where he’ll winter, probably not race, and prepare for the English classics of spring 2019.

Uncle Benny, who might have won the Juvenile Turf with better luck, is headed to Florida, plans uncertain, with a move from turf to dirt under consideration.
