Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Results

Kicking off the World Championships, the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1) featured a full field of 12 two-year-olds going 5 furlongs around one turn of the turf. True Love was sent off as the 3-1 favorite off his win in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) at Newmarket. In to challenge him included 5-1 second choice Cy Fair, winner of the Algonquin Stakes at Woodbine, and 11-2 third choice Havana Anna, second in both the Prix d'Arenberg (G3) at Longchamp and the Cheveley Park.

Cy Fair leads in the stretch.

Jockey John Velazquez sent 8-1 Schwarzenegger to the lead through an opening quarter of 21.64 while pressed by 20-1 Obliteration and stalked by 9-1 Lennilu and Cy Fair. Turning for home, Schwarzenegger continued to lead through 4f in 44.33 but Cy Fair under Irad Ortiz Jr. came out for room and rallied by at the 1/16 to win by 3/4 length in 56.02. It was another 1 1/4 length back t o late-running 29-1 Aspect Island third, while favorite True Love failed to rally finishing 8th beaten 5 1/2 lengths.

Left: Cy Fair heads to the winner's circle. Winning trainer George Weaver, celebrating his first Breeders' Cup win said, "I can't describe it.  It's why we all get in the game. It's hard to win these big races like this, and it's my first Breeders' Cup. We've had a great year, and I'm thankful to my staff, thankful to all the clients that supported me. We've got some nice horses, and she's one of the top ones. She's been a bullet all year long. Frankly, I don't know how she got beat the second time we ran her in a stake. But she looked fantastic at Woodbine, like a super, special horse. She came over here and did it against the best in the world. We're thrilled." 

Right: Cy Fair heads out for the post parade. Winning jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. said, "I never thought I'm going to be that close. But she broke so good and clean and smooth, without asking her to do anything, she put me right behind the leaders. I think Wesley's horse was in front of me. He cleared me. After that I just sit there for a few jumps. And I feel like Luis was outside of me and can't keep up the pace. So I go ahead at the half a mile and let her do her thing. And at the same time she was going the right way. She was going fast but relaxed at the same time. And bide my time, turning for home, I asked her to do her thing and she showed up."

Left: Second place finisher Brussels gallops on Thursday. Trainer Aidan O'Brien said, "Brussels ran a very good race. I think the start, when he missed it a tad and got back a little bit, lost the race for him. He still ran very well.

Right: Third place finisher Aspect Island in the post parade. Jockey Frankie Dettori said, "I don't know why I'm giving up after that! He ran a great race, everything went well and no real excuse. He's improving all the time and I would have taken third this morning."  Trainer James Owen added, "A great run, I'm delighted. He's improving with every run and today was another career best. Frankie gave him a great ride up the rail in the early part of the race. He had a good position to then make his challenge up the stretch."
