REGALLY READY WINS THE BREEDERS' CUP TURF SPRINT!

Regally Ready burst past Rapport at the top of the stretch and drew off to score a convincing win in the $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. II).

Under Corey Nakatani, who was winning his second Breeders' Cup race this year, Regally Ready settled into an excellent spot toward the inside early on as Rapport set a quick pace. Surprisingly, Chamberlain Bridge and Caracortado were also close to the pace.

Turning for home Regally Ready took over the lead and kicked clear decisively. Great Attack and Perfect Officer attempted to give chase, but Regally Ready proved too good and hit the wire clear by two and a half lengths, stopping the clock for five furlongs in :56.48. Country Day got up to be second over Perfect Officer, with Great Attack coming home fourth.
