The sudden retirement of Benny the Bull, the recent inactivity of several key members in the division, and a lack of experience over artificial racing surfaces by a majority of the top contenders has created an air of uncertainty about this year's Breeders' Cup Sprint. Some of the uncertainty should be cleared up by the end of racing on Saturday.
The six-furlong Sprint will be decided on the Pro-Ride surface at Santa Anita on Oct. 25.
