2012 Breeders' Cup Turf
2012 Breeders' Cup Turf
The $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf, run at 1 1/2 miles, is expected to lure POINT OF ENTRY, who has won five in a row and three straight grade 1's; the Man `o War at Belmont in July, Sword Dancer (GI) at Saratoga in August and "Win and You're In" Turf Classic at Belmont September 29. SLIM SHADEY (GB) and TURBO COMPRESSOR, the 1-2 finishers of Santa Anita's John Henry (GII) September 30 and CASINO HOST, who earned a berth into the Turf with his Del Mar Handicap (GII) win in August could also start.
Last year's Turf winner ST NICHOLAS ABBEY (IRE) is likely to try and defend his title, though his 2012 form has been suspect, while CHINCHON (IRE) and TREASURE BEACH (GB) would bring accomplished international form should they show up at Santa Anita. The Japanese-bred TRAILBLAZER, second in his US debut behind Obviously in the Seco Mile, has earned almost $3 million in his career and rates an intriguing presence.
