The patience for Juddmonte, Bill Mott and Irad Ortiz Jr. Elite power Stormed home to take the 2 million dollar sprint (G1) in Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup (G1) in his first attempt at the 1/4 company.
Favorite Jackies Krieger Never accelerated in the route and ended an even third place in his last career start.
The elite power broke off, but was held in hand by Ortiz. Jackies Krieger would not get a uncomplicated lead thanks to Longshot Great eight . Jackies Warrior and Joel Rosario followed as a great ocho through parliamentary groups from: 22.12 and: 44.99, well from the rest of the field. The elite power gradually improved its position, while three were widespread.
“I let him sit and he relaxed well,” said Ortiz. “There was a forceful pace in front of me. I distributed my time and then I separated horses in the curve and got on clearly. He deserves the whole loan.”
Rosario kept Jackie's warrior clear on the way – his main concern was to keep the champion of difficulties. But when it was asked for more, it wasn't there or at least not as Rosario felt in the past.
“He did everything I asked him,” said Rosario. “This horse (Super Ocho) went to the lead and I was sitting directly from him. He ran his race.”
Those who searched for Jackie's warrior to blow from Super Ocho were instead drawn by a vast white fire that falls on the outside. Ortiz was able to prevent the corner into a massive opening on the quarter mol, which nobody else claimed.
“When I released him, he was there for me,” said Ortiz. “He continued. He gave me a really good kick from the quarter rod to the wire.”
When Jackie's warrior briefly got the lead near the eighth pole, it was obvious that Elite Power was running down, which happened in the sixteenth pole. CZ rocket second in this race when it was the last time Keeneland Two years ago, Jackie's warrior made from the rail and hit the front briefly.
“I thought for a second that we would win it, only for a second; then I saw (Elite power),” said Peter Miller from CZ Rocket. “I knew we were getting in front of us, but (Elite -Power) ran great and ran down.”
For the first time, Ortiz rode elite power and Mott had warned him of the tendency of the colts to wait for horses when he attacked the lead.
“I think you could see it, Irad led him away from everyone and cooled down in the middle of the race track,” said Mott. “And he came with a good run.”
Elite Power completed the six Furlongs in 1: 09.11, the slowest of three races of this race in Keeland and the slowest sprint of the breeding cup for more than 10 years (Amazombie, 1: 09.17 ,, Churchill Downs2011). It is not so critical at that time if you win a Breeders' cup against a field with winners of 1 of the degrees -1 stack of a champion like Jackies Warrior.

It was the second Breeders' Cup victory that day for Mott, who also scored with a goal beforehand Cody's wish In the substantial ass fans of Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) and a 12th career victory at the World Championships.
Juddmonte won eight races of the Breeders' Cup. Since most of their top runners are Homebreds, it is worth drawing attention if you spend great dollars for a horse at an auction, as you have done at arrogates (560,000 US dollars) and now Elite Power, a purchase of 900,000 US dollars as a year in Keeland September -year elderly in 2019.
“Back to Prince Khalid, who was with us, wanted to buy a few horses with the sale,” said Garrett O'Rourke from Juddmonte, Garrett O'Rourke from the overdue Juddmonte owner. “Obviously we started a good start with arrogates and followed ourselves with horses like this type, just a nice horse from the start.”
From Curlin from the justification Mare Broadways Alibi, Elite Power, never started as a 2-year-old and ended the board in two starts at 3 a.m. before putting things together.
“He had baby problems,” said Mott. “And we only got his 3-year year. But he had typical things like shin legs that have many horses. And it was just about waiting for him to be right.”
Bill Mott won two Breeders' Cup races on the Saturday ticket
Added O'Rourke: “He was an energetic horse that always seemed to get into difficulties. We went through his whole 2-year year, never pulled him off the farm. Give Scott Walker and his team in our training rod, who had endless patience with him.
Mott jokingly explained that the elite power would be back next year, while O'Rourke “our CEO and the family must have a forceful say”.
The winner paid $ 13.10 as the third choice in bets.
For the fan favorite and for betting of the favorite Jackie's warrior, it was another disappointing breeding cup that stalled as a selection in the third time in a row.
“It is just astonishing that a horse that is as great as he is has never won a Breeder's' Cup race,” said coach Steve Asmussen. “He is a very special horse – physically, mentally and his ability. It is a disappointment. I was satisfied with where he was (during the race). If I could do it again, I would of course not have hung up where he did. I didn't like the result, but struck the winner.”
