As was expected, the 2016 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (gr. I) drew a full field of fourteen two-year-old fillies, making it one of the most wide-open and competitive races of the Breeders’ Cup.
Aidan O’Brien, who is still seeking his first win in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, will send out the accomplished pair of Roly Poly (second in the Group 1 Chevely Park Stakes) and Hydrangea (second in the Group 1 Dubai Fillies Mile.) O’Brien’s son Joseph, who is enjoying a strong first year as a trainer, will send out Moyglare Stud Stakes (Eng-I) winner Intricately.
Leading the U.S. contingent are La Coronel, winner of the Jessamine Stakes (gr. III) at Keeneland in impressive fashion, and New Money Honey, who rallied to a dominant win in the Miss Grillo Stakes (gr. III) at Belmont Park.
The complete field for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf is as follows:
1 Hydrangea, Seamie Heffernan
2 Lull, Joel Rosario
3 New Money Honey, Javier Castellano
4 Spain Burg, Frankie Dettori
5 Victory to Victory, Julien Leparoux
6 Coasted, Mike Smith
