When Cy Fair won Friday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1), she became the first Breeders’ Cup winner for Not This Time and only the second filly to beat colts in the history of the race.
Coming into the five-furlong dash off a dominant score in the Oct. 5 Algonquin S. at Woodbine, Cy Fair once again stalked the pace on Friday. Schwarzeneggar blazed through the early stages and still was up by 1 ½-lengths at the top of the stretch. Cy Fair was still under a hand ride, however, and rolled past the pacesetter inside the final furlong, holding off a pair of European closers to win by three-quarters of a length in :56.02 on the firm turf.
“She’s been a bullet all year long,” winning trainer George Weaver said. “Frankly, I don’t know how she got beat the second time we ran her in a stake. But she looked fantastic at Woodbine, like a super, special horse. She came over here and did it against the best in the world. We’re thrilled.”
Owned by Medallion Racing, Swinbank Stables LLC, Joey Platts & Mark Stanton, Cy Fair is 3-1-0 in four starts and has earned $680,205. The bay filly, who was a TDN Rising Star after her July 10 debut, was bred in Kentucky by Marc Keller and sold for $185,000 at the OBS April 2-year-old sale.
