Breeders’ Bowl Juvenile Turf
Grade 1 Stakes – Purse $750,000
Restricted to 2 year olds
8 furlongs on the Turf
The second last race on the Friday Breeders’ Bowl card is the Juvenile Turf. The Grad 1 will be run for $750,000 over a firm turf course going one mile. A field of twenty colts and geldings line up in the gates with half of the entries having previously won a Graded Stakes race. We have perfect conditions and a huge crowd is in attendance.
Let’s get to know the runners:
#12
steel fortress
ydracing1 barn
f gossett 13/1
Out of the ydracing1 barn is this two-year old KING OF STEEL gelding out of the Sim Mare IMPACT GOES DEEP. He has three wins in four starts with two of them coming at Graded Stakes starts. Three back he ran 86 speed and won the “G3 Mother Lois” and last time out he ran 93 speed at this same distance and came from way back to win the “G2 Bedford Stakes”. He returns here on less than five weeks rest which may affect his performance as he runs out of gate twelve.

bluebloods barn
k ledwith 19/1
Out of the bluebloods barn is this two-year old AUDIBLE colt out of the Sim Mare SYMBIOTIC KRIS. He has finished in the money in eight of his eleven career starts including two wins. His last three have all come at Graded Stakes and resulted in a runner-up finish at the “G3 Premie Champion Stakes”, a win at the “G2 Kegger Day Juvenile Turf Mile”, and a disappointing seventh last time out at the “G2 Knick Knack Juvenile”. His career best speed is 88 and he may need a jump there if he hopes to find a spot on the board against this competitive group.
#8
venture gq
cowboyclaimer barn
t small 22/1
Out of the cowboyclaimer barn is this two-year old STAR WITNESS colt out of the Sim Mare FLOWERARGO. He won his first two Graded Stakes starts with 84 speed at the six furlong “G3 Salisbury Medallion” and 91 speed at the “G2 Champagne Mile” but had that streak end last time out when he ran tenth at the “G1 End of the Line Futurity”. He will look to run middle of the pack before kicking it into high gear as they come down the stretch and the ownership group hopes he will have lots left to catch the early leaders.
#9
orphan teardrops
vaguy11 barn
j white 10/1
Out of the vaguy11 barn is this two-year old KODIAC colt out of the Sim Mare WASTED TEARDROPS. He started his career with three straight runner-up finishes and comes into this race HOT on a streak of three straight wins. He made the jump to G2 last time out at the “G2 Royal Dodge” and busted 95 speed and came from way back to beat STEVE WILLIAMS by a neck. His speed numbers have increased with each start and he could top 100 speed for the first time here and has a good chance of extending his winning streak to four.
#10

billzpaid barn
w kewmwa 11/1
Out of the billzpaid barn is this two-year old DUBAWI colt out of the Sim Mare BOOK OF GALATIANS. He has finished in the money in all four of his career starts including three wins. He busted 94 speed last time out in a win at “G2 Knick Knack Juvenile” where he beat BRANDY N’ BLUNTS by less than a length. He is coming back on a little more than three weeks rest and it will be interesting to see how he responds as he makes his first G1 start.
#11
blood pact
diversify barn
d givins 9/1
Out of the diversify barn is this two-year old DUBAWI colt out of the Sim Mare BLOOD DUCHESS. He is undefeated in four career starts and comes in off back to back Graded Stakes wins. Two back he ran 90 speed and took home the “G2 Future” in Ireland and last time out he was even better when going 93 speed at the nine furlong “G3 Founders” in New York. He should like the distance and track here and will be in the mix as they come down the stretch.

m wallace 11/1
Out of the socalslew21bm barn is this two-year LORD KANALOA colt out of the Sim Mare LOGIN. He makes his fifth straight Graded Stakes start here and has been runner-up in three of the previous. Last time out he ran 93 speed at the “G2 Knick Knack Juvenile” where he dueled with STOPTWISTINTHEWORD as they headed for the wire but ended up losing by less than a length. He is one to watch and has a good chance of finding a spot on the board here.

Out of the rtribbett2 barn is this two-year old scratch bred CONTRAIL (x THEATRICAL x SIYOUNI) colt.
He started his career with back to back wins and started his Graded Stakes journey last time out with a runner-up finish at the “G2 Royal Dodge” where he was beaten by a neck by ORPHAN TEARDROPS. He has the speed to compete against this group and has a good chance to find a spot on the board.

passingwind barn
o a haack 29/1
Out of the passingwind barn is this two-year old FAR ABOVE colt out of the Sim Mare BOLT LOCK DOOTSIN. He broke his Maiden in his debut when he ran 77 speed over a five furlong track in Ohio. He followed that up with a third place finish at an Allowance Race in New York where he was beaten by WOOTON BELIEVES by twelve lengths. He rebounded nicely last time out with a 94 speed win at this same distance at the “G3 Summertime” at Woodbine in Ontario.He comes in well rested and should compete with this group.
#17
invincible native
elkstables13 barn
n lawton 10/1
Out of the elkstables13 barn is this two-year old scratch bred I AM INVINCIBLE (x DYNAFORMER x GALILEO) colt. He comes in off back to back third place finishes at this same distance having run 88 speed at the “G2 Champagne Mile” and 91 speed at the “G2 Bedford Stakes”. He typically runs near the back of the pack early and will likely use that strategy here and will look to outrun this impressive group of twenty.
#6
pull that clip
asrnever barn
z kentucky 19/1
Out of the asrnever barn is this two-year old scratch bred NO NAY NEVER (x GALILEO x SMART STRIKE) colt. He has made three straight Grade 2 starts and finished eleventh, fourth, and second in those. Last time out he ran 86 speed at the mile “G2 Kegger Day Juvenile Turf” and was beaten by CAN YOU HEAR by more than a length. He comes in off eight weeks rested and will like the distance but will need a big bump in speed if he hopes to find a spot on the board against this group.

#19
testbarn
texasace14 barn
t ace 10/1
Out of the texasace14 barn is this two-year old FRANKEL colt out of the Sim Mare THE DEVIL DECIDES. The most inexperienced entry in the race has ran just twice but has gone undefeated so far. He broke his Maiden in early August when he went gate to wire and ran 90 speed at this distance at an Allowance Race in Ireland. He followed that up last month when he blazed 94 speed and was runner-up at the “G3 Sumertime”. He will look to go to the front early and with his speed he may be tough to catch.
#15
go ben
rudolph barn
f oxon 18/1
Out of the rudolph barn is this two-year old GO BEARS GO colt out of the Sim Mare ZANDALARI TROLL.
He has finished in the money in four of his five career starts including two wins. He made his first Graded Stakes start last time out at the eight and a half furlong “G3 Wooden Reserve” and finished second behind CAMELOT FOREVER.

#20
euro games
fdllodgec barn
j dawg 20/1
Out of the fdllodgec barn is this two-year old MODERN GAMES colt out of the Sim Mare EURO IN JULY.

Two back he ran 87 speed at the seven furlong “G2 Future” where he finished fourth and last time out he was runner-up at the six furlong “G1 Golden Shoe” where he was beaten by less than a length by FITZPATRICK. He has never competed at this distance but should be able to handle the extra furlong and he should garner some attention at the betting windows.
#18
hostetler
diversify barn
q cassell 19/1
Out of the diversify barn is this two- year old scratch bred DUBAWI (x STORM CAT x DYNAFORMER) colt. All five of his starts have come at Stakes or Graded Stakes races with the past two being run at Grade 1.

Last time out he ran 88 speed at this same distance and finished third behind SPUNKY BOY and LUXURY BURGER at the “G3 Fall Stakes”.

Last time out he ran 91 speed and came from the middle of the pack at the “G3 Fall Stakes” in England and beat LUXURY BURGER by two lengths. He makes the jump to Grade 1 here and has the speed to challenge for a spot on the board.

salacious affair
whocares barn
v jennings 21/1
Out of the whocares barn is this two-year old GLENEAGLES colt out of the Sim Mare CRACKED AND LOADED. He makes his fourth straight Graded Stakes start here with the others resulting in third place finishes at the “G2 Kegger Day Juvenile Turf” and “G3 Aaron Burr” and a runner-up finish at the “G3 Founders” where he was beaten by more than three lengths by BLOOD PACT. He should be well positioned as they make the turn for home and could find a spot on the board.
