Wrote blew past Farraaj and Excaper in deep stretch to win the $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. II) by two lengths.
Ridden by Ryan Moore, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt settled off the pace as Majestic City set a fairly quick pace. Farraaj was not far behind him tucked along the rail, while State of Play and Excaper were up close too. Favored Finale was caught four wide on the first turn.
Turning into the homestretch Majestic City began to tire and was quickly confronted by Farraaj and Excaper, the latter a 30-1 shot. But on the far outside came Wrote, charging furiously to get up in time to win by two lengths. Excaper ever so narrowly held second over Farraaj, while Lucky Chappy came flying late to finish fourth.
