The $1 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies had thirteen 2-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles on the main track at Lone Star Park.  Sweet Catomine was sent off as the lukewarm 5-2 favorite with Sense of Style the second choice at 7-2 and Balletto the 4-1 third choice.  The track condition was upgraded from good to fast before the start, but the track was still quite sticky from the overnight rains.


Jockey Patrick Husbands sent 61-1 Canadian invader Higher World to the early lead, battling on the front end with 20-1 shot Sis City through a quarter in 22.99 and a half in 46.44 before Higher World fell out of contention.  Sis City inherited the lead through 3/4 in 1:10.69, as Sweet Catomine began to launch her rally from seventh.  Down the lane, Corey Nakatani took the favorite through an opening and with 70 yards to go, Sweet Catomine surged ahead to win by 3 3/4 lengths in a time of 1:41.65 over Balletto, who had stalked the early pace the whole way in third.  It was 1 1/4 length back to 10-1 shot Runway Model who closed from sixth early but was steadied in traffic on the turn.  


Winning trainer Julio Canani said, "This is a very special filly. This is my first Breeders' Cup starter in a 2-year-old race. Corey rode her before so I just said 'I hope you have a good trip'."


Winning jockey Corey Nakatani said, "I was in a really good spot early, tracking Balletto. They are both really nice fillies and I was just lucky enough today.  Even though she's big she's by Storm Cat so she has a quick turn of foot.  I was saving ground inside and Jerry (Bailey) tilted in a bit. That sort of thing happens in a race like this."


Jerry Bailey aboard second place finisher Balletto said, "Someone was trying to come up inside of me.  I don't know who it was but it made it pretty tight because there wasn't much space there. My horse showed good acceleration but didn't quite have the turn of foot she needed when I asked."


Bernie Flit, trainer of third place finisher Runway Model said, "She got stopped in mid stretch but that's just racing luck.  I can't complain.  She did a wonderful job of coming back to get third.  She looks like she wants to go farther and that makes me happy because we will be looking forward to the Kentucky Oaks."
