Keeneland Race 12 - Breeders' Cup Classic Stakes (G1)

The main event. SOVEREIGNTY (2) was far too good in the Whitney, posting a new peak rating and silencing some doubters. He's had a slight issue since, but his work leading into this suggests he's back on song. Maps beautifully and with a strong tempo to run at, he'll claim the Classic he should've won last year. FOREVER YOUNG (5) was meant to race SOVEREIGNTY in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, where he did th ejob there with ease. He's never run a figure as high as SOVEREIGNTY, but he may be a more consistent galloper and he's tracking into this just as well as he was last year. Can create history as a back-to-back Classic champ. GOLDEN TEMPO (3) was sound in the Travers without winning but the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner has to be included. KNIGHTSBRIDGE (7) will give them something to chase.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing third in the G3 Elm Stakes at Sapporo Dirt, beaten just over two lengths by Luxor Cafe after working home evenly. The start prior produced an Open win at Tokyo Dirt, where he beat Jinsei by four lengths as favourite. His career record is sound, but two unplaced runs around 2012m leave him with a clear task at this level.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a decisive G1 Whitney Handicap win at Saratoga, beating Nitrogen by just under five lengths while near the top of betting. He was only third to Magnitude in the G1 Stephen Foster Stakes prior, but the broader profile is outstanding: three wins from three around 2012m and a strong record with Junior Alvarado. He brings the most complete winning case.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after running third in the G1 Travers Stakes at Saratoga, beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite behind Leading Change. He had earlier won The Belmont Stakes (G1), beating Commandment by just over a length, and his three runs around 2012m have returned two wins and a placing. That gives him genuine claims for a strong placing.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after winning the G1 Pennsylvania Derby at Parx, beating Further Ado by half a length after driving hard late. His fourth in the G1 Travers Stakes prior was also sound, beaten just over three lengths after picking up in the straight. The 2012m record is still the query, but race fitness keeps him in the minor-money picture.

Back after six weeks off a dominant G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes win at Belmont Park, where he led and beat Stars And Stripes by just over three lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. His G1 Dubai World Cup second to Magnitude before that reads strongly, and the distance profile is excellent, with five wins and four places from nine starts. He has the class to win again.

Returns from a lengthy spell off consecutive wins, most recently taking the G1 Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar by just over six lengths as a well-supported favourite. He had also won the G3 Monmouth Cup Stakes by over 10 lengths, so the recent form has substance. This is a stronger assignment, but his overall record gives him a credible place profile.

Returns from a lengthy spell after two narrow G1 seconds, the latest when beaten half a length by Leading Change in the Travers Stakes after being pipped at the post. He was also beaten half a length in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park. Those efforts are honest, but against this depth he has to find another level to turn placings into a win.
