LEXINGTON, Ky. – The 4-year-old filly Tepin, who entered this season without even a stakes win, got good in the spring and even better in late summer and fall, and where most horses improve and decline as they grow and change, tire and freshen, Tepin just has kept blooming. Three weeks after winning her second Grade 1, and while facing males for the first time, she dominated a world-class field of milers and won the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile by 2 1/4 lengths under Julien Leparoux.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – For all the accolades Runhappy received immediately after his record-setting, three-quarter-length victory over four-time Grade 1 winner Private Zone in Saturday’s $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland, nobody paid him a bigger compliment than his own jockey, Hall of Famer Edgar Prado.

“I remember thinking after he won the Phoenix that I have only been on one horse who ran that fast and wasn’t breathing hard after the race,” said Prado. “And that was Barbaro. The similarity between this horse and Barbaro is very close.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Stephanie’s Kitten has proven to be a top-class horse all over the country in her distinguished career. But in her home state of Kentucky for the Breeders’ Cup, she has proven downright unbeatable.

Four years after taking the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Churchill Downs, she won Saturday’s $2 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland, outrunning the heavily favored European invader Legatissimo by 1 1/4 lengths.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – When they met five weeks beforehand in New York, La Verdad was able to hold off an oncoming Wavell Avenue.

But not this time – and not on a far bigger stage.

Given an additional half-furlong, and with La Verdad having been weakened by a couple of earlier challenges, Wavell Avenue stormed down the center of the track to turn the tables in the ninth running of the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on Saturday at Keeneland.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – In a result that exemplified the true international spirit of the Breeders’ Cup, Mongolian Saturday outlasted a game Lady Shipman by a neck to win the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint on a chilly Saturday at Keeneland. Bobby’s Kitten, the defending Turf Sprint champion, finished fourth.

Songbird turned a confrontation into a coronation, romping by 5 3/4 lengths over Rachel's Valentina in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Saturday at Keeneland to certainly clinch – with emphasis – the Eclipse Award divisional championship.

Songbird, based in California with trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, has won all four of her starts by a combined 22 lengths. She rolled into the Juvenile Fillies off Grade 1 victories in the Del Mar Debutante and Chandelier Stakes. Remarkably, her 4 1/2-length margin of victory in the Chandelier is her closest call to date.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Catch a Glimpse, the winner of Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, was doing well Saturday morning, trainer Mark Casse said, along with stablemates Airoforce and Conquest Daddyo, who ran second and fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.

Catch a Glimpse earned an 85 Beyer Speed Figure for her Juvenile Fillies Turf victory, in which she rated just off the pace, kicked clear in early stretch, and outlasted late bids from runner-up Alice Springs and third-place Nemoralia.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Todd Pletcher certainly was going to enjoy the victories recorded Friday by Liam’s Map in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and Race Day in the Grade 2 Fayette at Keeneland.

But when he allowed himself to look to the future, he did so with some trepidation, knowing that Liam’s Map and Race Day, as well as several of his other older male dirt graded stakes winners, are heading to the breeding shed in 2016.

Betting on the four Breeders’ Cup races held Friday at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., was up 2.9 percent over betting on the same four races held at Santa Anita Park on the Friday Breeders’ Cup card last year, according to charts of the races.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Stopchargingmaria won a stretch duel with Stellar Wind before surviving a stewards’ inquiry Friday in a dramatic 32nd running of the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff before a crowd of 44,947 at Keeneland.

With Javier Castellano riding for trainer Todd Pletcher, Stopchargingmaria had a good trip from off the pace in the 1 1/8-mile Distaff, collaring the tiring leaders with a steady outside run as the field neared the quarter pole.
