The decision was made on Monday morning that promising allowance winner Beholder, a two-year-old filly trained by Gary Mandella, will run in the $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I) rather than the $500,000 Juvenile Sprint.
Owned by Spendthrift Farm, the daughter of Henny Hughes had placed second in the Del Mar Debutante (gr. I) behind expected Juvenile Fillies favorite Executiveprivilege before scoring an eleven-length victory in a six-furlong allowance race at Santa Anita Park, earning a massive Beyer speed figure of 108 in the process. Pre-entered in both the Juvenile Sprint and the Juvenile Fillies, she was expected to contest the Juvenile Sprint due to her lack of experience at the 1 1/16th miles distance of the Juvenile Fillies. However, a last-minute change of plans will instead see her square off against Executiveprivilege once again.
The Juveniles Fillies is expected to draw a field of eight, namely, Almost an Angel, Beholder, Broken Spell, Dreaming of Julia, Executiveprivilege, Kauai Katie, Renee's Queen, and Spring in the Air.
