The Breeders' Cup Sprint has been a popular racing event since the inauguration of Breeders' Cup in 1984. At present, this horseracing event carries a purse of $2 million and has proven a nightmare for handicappers among the Breeders' Cup races. As a champion event, the Breeders' Cup Sprint has become a platform where none can predict which horse is going to perform best on that very day. In fact, in seven of the Breeders' Cup Sprint races, the winner was decided by a distance of neck or less than that. So, from the result itself we can measure the level of competition in this race.
Browsing the history of Breeders' Cup Sprint, we find the 1990 session. The 1989 champion, Safely Kept, fought brilliantly head-to-head battle with English invader Dayjur - favorite of that race; inside the furlong pole, Dayjur suddenly took the command over but only forty yards away from the finishing line, he jumped the shadow of Belmont Park's grandstand and lost his action for a few moment. Those missteps were enough for the favorite, Safety Kept, to regain the lead and hold on for a neck victory.
In the Breeders' Cup Sprint, all the participants come with full vigor and preparation; but the factor for which they get different results in the racing list, is their approach and the performance on that very day. In spite of odds and obstacles, top quality sprinters have always proven their class! In the 2000, Kona Gold snatched the winning title while the Java Gold gelding placed third in 1998, second in 1999 and finally won the race at six. In fact the favorite takes it all in this race!!! We all are expecting the same trend of results in this year too.
