2-Year-Olds Offer Tremendous Promise
Each year the 2-year-olds bring a certain air of excitement to the Breeders' Cup, with the present meshing with thoughts of the future and this year should be no different as both the 1 1/16-mile Grey Goose Juvenile and Grey Goose Juvenile Fillies are loaded with untapped potential.
Breeders' Cup Grey Goose Juvenile Fillies
The Juvenile Fillies offers a scintillating matchup between the West Coast's divisional leader EXECUTIVEPRIVILEGE and the East Coast's counterpart DREAMING OF JULIA, who are a combined 8-for-8, with the former earning an automatic berth in Santa Anita's and 1 1/16 mile Chandelier (GI) September 29 and the latter earning a berth with a win in Belmont's Frizette (GI) October 6.
Breeders' Cup Grey Goose Juvenile
The Juvenile could culminate a perfect season for SHANGHAI BOBBY, who twice earned automatic berths into the race with wins in Saratoga's Hopeful (GII) in September and Belmont's Champagne (GI) October 6. Stiff opposition could come from POWER BROKER, who broke his maiden and gained an automatic berth in the FrontRunner (GI) September 29.
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint
The Breeders' Cup program kicks off with Friday's Juvenile Sprint, where the freakishly fast filly KAUAI KATIE could put her unbeaten and untested 3-for-3 mark on the line against what is expected to be a deep field of fleet colts eyeing the six-furlong race.
