1 1/16 miles, dirt, 2-year-olds
Santa Anita, Race 9
Friday, Nov. 1, 4:03 p.m. PT
This Breeders’ Cup Juvenile shapes up as a classic duel between two standout colts, Dennis’ Moment and Eight Rings. The third major contender, Maxfield, would have added further intrigue, but he has been withdrawn due to a soundness issue.

Thank you, Marvin, for coming through as our key last week by completing a very nice $183 trifecta at Keeneland. And thank you 18 other BreezeFigs maidens who broke through to win, including 10 of you who kicked off BreezeFigs gimmicks.

Was earning competitive speed figures when she was running on the NYRA circuit in 2017.
