Amazombie wore down Force Freeze in deep stretch to win the $1,500,000 Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) by a head.
Under Mike Smith, Amazombie settled into fifth as Euroears, Big Drama, Force Freeze, and Giant Ryan raced through a blazing opening quarter in :21.12. The blazing pace eventually cracked three of them, but Force Freeze was able to kick away from the field at the top of the stretch to open up a clear lead. But Amazombie, who received a perfect ride, came running hard on the outside to engage Force Freeze in a stretch battle, which he eventually won by a head in 1:09.17.
Jackson Bend came running late for third, but proved no match for the top two. Aikenite came on to be fourth.
