Keeneland Race 8 - Breeders' Cup Sprint Stakes (G1)

ENGLISHMAN (13) is a damn good horse lining up in this race. He led and won in fast time to win the G1 H. Allen Jenkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga last start and possesses good early speed. He'll need it from the barrier, but he's shaping to be world class and he can stamp a successful 3YO campaign with a win at the Breeders'. BUILT (7) won well in the Vanderbilt two back before a 1.5L victory in Listed company last start at $1.66. Best form is still a touch off ENGLISHMAN, but he's drawn better and can be there to strike if the top pick is off his game. LISTENUPSHANCE (5) looks primed for a peakl showing after a 0.8L victory in the G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship last time. He ran a strong figure there, but out to this distance now looks better. Can feature in the finish. T O ELVIS (11) bolted in to win on Kentucky Derby day and that rating stacks up. Just needs to run up to that effort off a break. DARK SAFFRON (2) has claims off his form in the UAE.

Comments

Placed first-up in the G2 Phoenix Stakes at this track, holding his position to the turn before being run down late by Nakatomi and finishing third, beaten just over a length. His previous run was a fourth in the G1 Bing Crosby Handicap at Del Mar, where Listenupshance had his measure. The 1207m record is strong, but he will have to find another length or two against the best of these.

Resumes after eight months off the back of a G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen win at Meydan Dirt, where he beat Bentornato by just under two lengths at an outside price. He had been second in the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal before that, beaten just under a length after being unwanted in the market. First local run adds some uncertainty, but his Group 1 record gives him genuine place claims.

Back after five weeks following a dominant ALLOW OCLM win at Santa Anita, where he led and beat Duke Silver by five and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. The start prior was a Class M win at Del Mar by over 12 lengths in another small field. He is in winning form, but this is a much deeper black-type test and 1207m is new territory.

Resumes after three months following a G1 Forego Stakes win at Saratoga, where he beat T Kraft by just under a length in a small field. That followed a sound second to Built in the G2 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap, beaten two and a half lengths when unable to lift late. He has black-type quality and a solid 1207m record, though Built has already exposed him once.

Back after five weeks and arrives in peak winning form, having taken the G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship by just under a length before his nose win in the G1 Bing Crosby Handicap at Del Mar. He has won three of five at this distance and Emisael Jaramillo has won two from three on him. The first look at this track is a small unknown, but his sprint credentials are strong.

Back after two months since finishing second to Dragon Welds at Seoul, beaten two lengths after holding a narrow lead and fighting on late. The run prior was a fifth in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash at Niigata, beaten just under five lengths after travelling handy but not going on. His distance record is respectable, yet this assignment demands a stronger finish.

Back after two months with consecutive wins behind him, most recently beating Echo Again by a length and a half at Churchill Downs after starting odds-on. Before that he won the G2 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga by two and a half lengths, accounting for Hymn. He is unbeaten at this track, perfect at the distance for placings, and looks a genuine winning threat.

Ran second in the G2 Phoenix Stakes at this track, beaten a length by Nakatomi after travelling well and letting down soundly. That followed a narrow ALLOW OCLM win at Saratoga as favourite. He has two wins and one placing from three starts at the distance, but the latest result shows the better exposed sprinters still have a margin on him.

Charged home to win the G2 Phoenix Stakes at this track last start, beating Little Thunder by a length after settling well back. That was a clear lift from his Saratoga fourth to Cat On Time, where he was favourite and beaten a length and a half. His track-and-distance record is excellent, so another strong showing is well within reach if he repeats that latest finish.

Resumes after six months following a second in the G3 ARISTIDES STAKES at Churchill Downs, beaten just over a length by Cornucopian. The run before was another G3 second at Oaklawn Park, where Mad House edged him by half a length after he was well-supported favourite. His career and distance records are strong, but the layoff and depth of this field make it a stern return.

Resumes after eight months with a five-win streak intact, headed by a G1 Churchill Downs Stakes victory where he beat Disruptor by just over three lengths. He had also won the G3 Capella Stakes at Nakayama Dirt by five lengths, so the recent race record is powerful. With five wins and one placing from six starts around 1207m, he has the profile to run a serious race fresh.

Back after six weeks following a G2 Gallant Bob Stakes win at Parx, where he beat Dr Kapur by just over a length as favourite. He had earlier won the G3 Mahony Stakes on Saratoga Turf by a neck, showing versatility across surfaces. Three wins and two placings from five around 1207m is a plus, but he still has to lift again in a deeper sprint.

Resumes after three months as the clear horse to beat, having won the G1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga by just under four lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. He had also won the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes by just under six lengths, so the elite form is compelling. Four wins and one placing from five starts, plus a win at his only 1207m attempt, make a powerful case.
