Results, video replays, and recap articles for the Friday card of the 2011 Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Royal Delta staked her claim to the Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old filly by outrunning fellow fillies It’s Tricky and Plum Pretty, plus six older rivals, when capturing the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic under the lights on Friday night at Churchill Downs.

The Ladies’ Classic was the last of six Breeders’ Cup races to be run on Friday. There are nine more Saturday, highlighted by the richest of the 15 races, the $5 million Classic.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It's true. The Americans weren't up to the task in a Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf with an international flavor. But neither were the Europeans. Perfect Shirl, in from Canada, scored the second straight Filly and Mare Turf shocker, upsetting the $2 million race at 27-1.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – My Miss Aurelia capped an undefeated season, and most likely a championship season, while bringing some happiness to connections who endured a difficult year by dominating the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juveniles Saturday at Churchill Downs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Musical Romance angled to the rail to overtake favored Turbulent Descent inside the eighth pole and went on to a 20-1 upset Friday in the fifth running of the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Trainer Wayne Catalano completed a unique Breeders' Cup triple when Stephanie's Kitten ran down pacesetter Stopshoppingmaria to register a three-quarter-length victory in Friday's $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Stopshoppingmaria's uncoupled stablemate, Sweet Cat, finished third.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Calvin Borel loves Churchill Downs. So does 3-year-old gelding Will’s Wildcat. Put the two together, and you’ve got the winner of the $85,000 Jimmy V. Stakes on the Breeders’ Cup undercard Friday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Secret Circle entered Friday’s inaugural $500,000 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint as the 2-5 favorite. More important, he exited it a winner with the potential to become one of the favorites for next year’s Kentucky Derby.

Busting out of the gate under regular rider Rafael Bejarano, Secret Circle ran the other speed into submission and had enough left in the stretch to score a one-length victory over late-running British invader Shumoos.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Late-running Mister Marti Gras is a top-class horse when he gets a hot pace to aid his rally. And as he proved in winning Friday’s Grade 3, $109,700 Ack Ack Handicap on the Breeders’ Cup undercard at Churchill Downs, he is apparently just as good even when he doesn’t.

Despite dawdling early fractions set in the 1 1/16-mile Ack Ack set by favored Gladding, Mister Mardi Gras was able to close to victory from sixth down the middle of the track, edging Alma d’Oro and Glenwood Canyon in a tight finish.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Stalking a slow pace, Arena Elvira took over from a spent Banker’s Buy around the far turn and widened through the stretch to win the rescheduled Grade 3, $98,000 Turnback the Alarm Handicap as much the best.
