Bellafina Early Favorite for the 2018 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies will be led by Kaleem Shah's BELLAFINA, who has easily won her last three starts-all stakes-and showed she can handle two turns when she earned an automatic berth into the race in Santa Anita's Sept. 29 "Win and You're In" Chandelier (GI). The daughter of Quality Road was second in her debut at Los Alamitos in July for trainer Simon Callaghan and then went on to win Del Mar's Sorrento (GII) by 4 ¼ lengths in August and the Del Mar Debutante (GI) by 4 ¼ lengths in September prior to winning the Chandelier by 6 ½ lengths.

Bellafina's stiffest test is expected to come from Fern City Stable and Three Chimneys Farm's RESTLESS RIDER, who earned a berth into the race when she won Keeneland's "Win and You're In" Alcibiades (G1) Oct. 5 for trainer Kenny McPeek. The daughter of Distorted Humor was second in another "Win and You're In" for the Juvenile Fillies, Saratoga's Spinaway (GI) in September. Restless Rider also owns two wins at Churchill, as she broke her maiden in Louisville in June and won the Debutante later that month.

Other top Juvenile Fillies candidates include Cash is King and Leonard Green's JAYWALK, who won Belmont's Frizette (GI) Oct. 7 for trainer John Servis; Joel Politi's SERENGETI EMPRESS, winner of Churchill's Pocahontas (GII) Sept. 15 for trainer Tom Amoss, and Lee Pokoik's SIPPICAN HARBOR, who captured the division's first automatic berth when she beat Restless Rider in the Spinaway for trainer Gary Contessa.
