Breeders' Cup Juvenile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile is a Thoroughbred horse race for 2-year-old colts and geldings raced on dirt. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup.

Distance : 1 mile (1984-1985, 1987); 1 1/16-miles (1986, 1988-2001,2003-); 1 1/8 miles (2002).

In 2006, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) wrote in Part 2 of their special series titled Spiraling To The Breeders' Cup that "Arazi turned in what many still consider to be the single-most spectacular performance in Breeders' Cup history." [1]

Timber Country went on to become the first Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner to win a U.S. Triple Crown race for three-year-olds when he won the 1995 Preakness Stakes. The 2006 winner, Street Sense, became the first to capture the Kentucky Derby.
