Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies

Race 8 on the Friday card at Keeneland for the Breeders Cup is the Juvenile Filliies at 1 1/16 miles.

A small field here for the $2 million miler for fillies, led by morning line favorite Princess Noor and only 2 out of 7 horses have odds of 20 or higher. There are also 4 undefeated fillies (Princess Noor, Girl Daddy, Dayoutoftheoffice, and Simply Ravishing) coming into this race and more than likely 1 of them will continue to be undefeated after Friday.

Top Picks

Princess Noor

Trainer: Bob Baffert

Jockey: Victor Espinoza

Owner: Zedan Racing Stables LLC.

3-3 Lifetime $303,000 Earnings

Won Grade 2 Chandalier @ Saratoga

Won Grade 1 Del Mar Derby @ Del Mar

Won Maiden 55k @ Del Mar

This daughter of Not This Time(Giants Causeway) has had a phenomenal start to her career, this will be a true test of her abilities going against the best of the best and other horse that have not lost. Her best speed figure was in the Del Mar derby (96) is a tick slower than Simply Ravishing and Dayoutoftheoffice. However she has great a Jockey/Trainer combo with Baffert and Espinoza.

Simply Ravishing

Trainer: Kenneth McPeek

Jockey: Luis Saez

Owner: Harold Lerner LLC Magdalena Racing & Nehoc Stables

3-3 Lifetime $304,000 Earnings

Won Grade 1 Alcibiad @ Keeneland

Won 100k PG Johnson @ Saratoga

Won Maiden 72k @ Saratoga

Daughter of Laoban (Uncle Mo) and Four WIshes (More Than Ready), she has one of the highest speed figures in the field with a 97 in her Grade 1 win @ Keeneland. With the win @ Keeneland gives her an advantage of being familiar with the track at Keeneland which shouldnt be given much aspect. Its a real toss up on who will go to the lead early and I think Simply Ravishing would be the one to prefer the lead and dictate the pace, however it may not be in the connections interest to go out first.

Longshot Pick

Crazy Beautiful

Trainer: Kenneth McPeek

Jockey: Brian Hernadez Jr.

Owner: Phoenix Thoroughbred

4-2-2- Lifetime $188,000 Earnings

2nd in the Grade1 Alcibiad @ Keeneland beaten by Simply Ravishing

2nd in the Grade 3 Pocahontas @ Churchill beaten by Girl Daddy

Won 100k Debutante @ Ellis Park

Won Maiden 37k @ Ellis Park

Daughter of Liams Map (Unbridles Song) and Indian Burn (Indian Charlie), she may not prefer the distance but I think its a horse in play because of the connections. Kenneth McPeek trains Simply Ravishing and Crazy Beautiful, so I can see Crazy Beautiful going to the setting the pace and giving Simply Ravishing the trip she wants. So Im using her in here just as an under horse to dictate the pace for the other McPeek horse, however if given a lead anything can happen.
