2014 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Race Favorite Entries

Judy the Beauty 5-2 - six time Grade 1 runner-up Wesley Ward trained filly has eight wins, seven seconds and a third in 17 career starts and has won three of her last four starts - the Grade 1 Rancho Bernardo Stakes at Del Mar August 17, the Grade 1 Madison Stakes at Keeneland in April and a terrific 4 3/4 length win in the Grade 3 Las Flores Stakes at Santa Anita March 9 - with a fourth in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff sandwiched in there. This after a very good second behind the fabulous Groupie Doll in last year's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. Judy the Beauty has been in the money every time out except for that fourth two starts back, has won three of her last four starts overall and is the morning line favorite. Mike Smith gets the call from post 7.

Sweet Reason 9-2 - has three Grade 1 scores in nine career starts - five wins, two seconds and a third place finish overall. Her only off-the-board finish was a fourth beaten by only two lengths in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. She started her career with two wins - the best of which came in the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes by 5 3/4 lengths at Saratoga last September and followed that with a second behind the terrific Untapable in the Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont Park in October before her BC attempt. Last time out was an OK second in the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx September 20 after a good win in Grade 1 Test Stakes, a score in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at Belmont Park June 7, a third in the Grade 2 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct April 5 and an Allowance Optional Claiming score March 7. Sweet Reason will have Irad Ortiz in the saddle from the rail as the morning line second choice.

Leigh Court 4-1 - 2013 Sovereign Award winner as Canada's Champion 3 Year Old Filly was terrific last year winning three straight races in the summer including the Grade 3 Ontario Colleen Stakes at Woodbine in August.

Leigh Court made a successful return to the track August 24 and won the Grade 3 Seaway Stakes by 2 1/2 lengths at Woodbine in her first start of 2014 and won again last time out in the Grade 2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland October 4.
