This race was expected as among the more competitive runnings of this unique seven-furlong competition for fillies and mares. Yet, vet checks led to several scratches this morning, including leading runners Sweet Azteca and Tamara.

Consequently, the lineup now appears much smaller, though trainer Bob Baffert stands a strong chance to claim his 20th Breeders’ Cup win. His entrants include Richi along with Splendora, while Hope Road, victor in the G1 Ballerina Stakes, is viewed as the main challenger.
