Big Evs Triumph in Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

In a stunning display of dominance, Mick Appleby’s trainee Big Evs secured the biggest win of his training career at Santa Anita by emerging as the triumphant champion in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. The victory marked a remarkable achievement for both horse and trainer.

Aidan O’Brien’s One-Two Finish in Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf

The Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf witnessed an impressive one-two finish from Aidan O’Brien’s talented horses. Unquestionable, guided by jockey Ryan Moore, led the way to claim first place, leaving behind Mountain Bear who settled for second position in this prestigious Grade One race.

This outcome came as a result of an unexpected change of plans due to veterinary advice. Stablemate River Tiber was unable to compete, leading Frankie Dettori to be replaced by Ryan Moore on Unquestionable. Despite these circumstances, Unquestionable seized the opportunity and delivered a decisive performance.

A Rollercoaster Day for Trainer Aidan O’Brien

Trainer Aidan O’Brien experienced an eventful day filled with ups and downs. Reflecting on his team’s achievements, he expressed his delight but also sympathized with his stablemates over River Tiber’s withdrawal: “That’s just how it goes sometimes. I’m thrilled for my team but can’t help feeling sorry for them [the lads]. Winning here is incredibly challenging; it feels like an unbelievable feat. Usually when things start off poorly, they tend to spiral out of control. However today turned out great thanks to Ryan’s excellent ride.”

Ryan Moore Impressed with Winner Unquestionable

Jockey Ryan Moore was thoroughly impressed with Unquestionable’s performance, stating: “I had a strong horse beneath me and found myself positioned on the fence. We held high hopes for both horses, but today Unquestionable truly shone. I’m sorry Frankie missed out on the ride.”
