Three “Win and You're In” qualifying races have been added to the 2018 Breeders' Cup Challenge Series, all toward the new Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. The new qualifiers are: The Futurity S. Belmont Park Oct. 6, a Santa Anita turf sprint the same day whose details will be announced later, and the Indian Summer S. Oct. 7 at Keeneland.
Breeze Easy LLC's Shang Shang Shang (Shanghai Bobby) became the first horse to qualify for the Juvenile Turf Sprint with her win in Thursday's G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot.
“We look forward to establishing a late fall stakes program of automatic qualifiers with three major racetrack partners to provide 'Win & You're In' opportunities for the new Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint,” said Dora Delgado, Breeders' Cup Senior Vice President of Racing and Nominations. “We thank the Keeneland Association, the New York Racing Association and the Stronach Group at Santa Anita for their support of this turf division and expanded participation in the Challenge series.”
