Fourteen races will be run over the two-day event with total awards and purses in excess of $31 million. The Breeders’ Cup World Championship is the sports’ premier racing event of the year. The world's best thoroughbreds will take part following qualifying races that took place across the globe.
The Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint is exciting as soon as the gates open. This race is for 3 years of age and older male and female horses and combines agility and speed at a length of just five furlongs with a purse of $1 million. Eleven horses will leave the gate as one has been scratched and the favorite at 9 to 2 is Live In The Dream. Sean Kitrane will be on board and Adam West is the trainer
Live In The Dream was considered so fast at the Lingfield Racecourse earlier this year that Stewards had to look at the replay to be certain he did not get a head start on the field when winning to open the 2023 racing season. In 19 lifetime starts, Live In The Dream has six victories, two places and two shows with a career earnings of $552,569.
Holding the second best Morning Line Odds for this race is Caravel at 5 to 1. Caravel will be ridden by Tyler Gaffalione and is trained by Brad Cox Caramel, a mare that is Pennsylvania-bred, has been a big force amongst female sprinters for quite some time and was victorious at the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint when going off at odds of nearly 43 to 1. Caravel has 15 wins, one place and three shows in 25 career starts.
While Live In The Dream (9 to 2) is the favorite in the sprint, three others are close behind odds at 5 to 1 or 6 to 1. My pick Caravel, from last year was victorious in this race when leaving the gate with odds of close to 43 to 1. Caravel has 15 victories and 25 starts during her career and in 2023 has won three of five starts with one place. Look for Caravel to fly out of the gate and hold off the rush off several others while winning by at least a head. Pick: Caravel.
