Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Leading Contenders
The action on Championships Saturday gets underway with a tricky contest over seven furlongs in the form of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Cases can be made for plenty of the runners involved.
Sweet Azteca is likely to be a hot favorite for the race after going undefeated on both starts this calendar year for trainer Richard Baltas. She looks primed for this return to seven furlongs after winning over an extended six furlongs on her last two starts.
Tamara is a notable pace angle in the race, as her finishing kick could prove useful around Del Mar. Mike Smith will be aboard the runner, and she was last in action winning a Grade Two at Santa Anita.
Splendora gives Bob Baffert a leading hope in the race. She has won on her last two starts, and was a five-length victor over a mile at Del Mar at the start of September. She has the stamina to stay this trip, which could be a question hanging over a number of her rivals.
Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Pick
There is not one outstanding chance in the race this year. Therefore, a chance could be taken on Haulin Ice for Saffie Joseph Jr. The four-year-old has rapidly improved throughout this season, and she looked to have found a new gear when landing the G3 Princess Rooney at Gulfstream Park at the end of September. Needs to improve again, but a decent chance at the prices.
